I know it Nicole. It’s an awesome feeling and I feel that way too if my hubby were to lose his job, I know we’d eat for a while and hopefully within the next couple of months have enough of the basics to get us by too. It’s a wonderful feeling

hahaha. I don’t truly have a 4 year supply, I have neither the space nor the need for that much stuff (only the husband, myself, and two dog children) , it just feels like that when 10 bottles of shampoo fall out of the closet while I am looking for tampons
I could however, become unemployed tomorrow and not need to buy basic items for quite awhile which is a nice security blanket. I also haven’t spent anymore than I would have previously on these items without coupons at Wal-Mart/Grocery Stores, I just have 10x as much stuff. I seriously want to kick myself on a regular basis for not starting to coupon sooner, I could have saved so much money!

Haha! I would love a mini too! Sheesh, I don’t need 100 bottles of anything! Glad I made you smile

You made me laugh!! I just started CVS and Rite Aid in August. I haven’t got a four-year supply yet, but, my husband swears he alone is set for at least a year off my purchases for him. I haven’t spent any more at the drug stores, Target and grocery stores than I would have spent for groceries at Aldi and Walmart alone. Now that we are stocked up, I’ll be ready to step back a little in November. I don’t want a mega-stockpile. A mini one is fine though.

Awesome job Nicole! I knew I could save a ton, just didn’t have the time to do it all. I will definitely be making time in my schedule from now on

Rite Aid & CVS are where I get pretty much everything from cosmetics, to toilet paper, trash bags, some medicine (also use Amazon for better deals), and paper towels & toiletries. I won’t have to buy tampons, oral care, hair care products, lotion, body wash, razors, toilet paper, paper towels, nail polish, cosmetics, or toiletries of any variety until after the presidential election. In 2016. I have literally saved hundreds of dollars if not at this point, a thousand or two on these items.
