Stock Food Storage by Coupon Clipping!

*See bottom of this post for a coupon class date and time!*

A fantastic way to gradually stock up your food storage is by coupon clipping. 

You can get coupons from the newspaper, by printing them from your own computer, finding 'peelies' on items in the store, getting catalinas (coupons that print at the register), and by using downloadable coupons that you can add to your store card (like your Smith's Fresh Values card). 

Combine these coupons with sales and promotions (like by 10, get $5 off) and you can enjoy fantastic things! 

In the past I have 'purchased' the following items for free:

Toothpaste
Pasta
Men's Razors
Deodorant
Shampoo
Soaps/Body Washes

I have purchased the following for about $0.50:

Chips
General Mills Cereal
Kelloggs Cereal
Chip Dips
Chex Mix
Ragu Sauce
Swanson Chicken Broth
Campbells Soups
Toothbrushes
Feminine Products
Spaghettios
Pillsbury Grands
Go-gurts
Canned Vegetables
Canned Beans

The list can go on! 

By now you should have your list of what you want to store and even a way to inventory it.  Maybe you even have empty shelves labeled that you need to stock, well, now is the time.

I will teach a free coupon clipping class at my house on Tuesday, March 20th at 6:30. 

I am not associated with the newspaper or anyone who would officially teach this kind of class.  I just have a few years couponing experience and am willing to teach you what I know. 

If you are able to attend, please reply to the blog, give me a call, or send an e-mail.

Thanks!
