It isn’t a stockpile, it is my pantry

Using the term “stockpile” makes my skin crawl. It seems really creepy to me to have a stockpile of groceries and household goods. Do I purchase a few extra items when items I normally use are at rock bottom prices? You bet I do. I’ve always kept a well stocked pantry and now that I’m couponing I have seen the wisdom in buying enough extra to last until the next sales cycle comes around.

Of course, I’ve only been couponing for about a month. I’ll revisit this post next year, IF I keep couponing for that long, and see if my attitude towards stockpiling has changed. I’ve been known to change my mind before. Who knows, I might clear out a corner of the garage, fill ‘er up and say “what was I thinking?”
