Being stocked up

Well at this point I am pretty much stocked up in alot of things here for the household.  With that being said here I can laugh at some of the things that I have done so far to keep it all that way here also.  With the dish soap on major sale 3 weeks ago here I got that part stocked up along with shampoo and conditioner.  Trust me with the shampoo and conditioner it still about kills me to pay for it after what my sister in law did to her household and then it ended up over at the trailer.  So after that part of things here that have went on over the years my Husband has been shocked in what we both had to do here to get things done and used at the time along with other things here.  Instead of having one of the huge totes full and over flowing at this time I have a small tote full of the shampoo and conditioner at this time here.  With the bar soap at the time it was the small tote when we got things moved over also and that is down to one drawer in a roll cart for the bathroom at this time also after we got thru that part of things.  Some things just amaze me here in what some folks have done for their own household still to this day.  With alot of the things that I do here for my own place here to cut the costs it amazes some of the neighbors totally still.  Even the one neighbor and I laugh about what I have done last year here and it all worked out with the drying racks that I got outside to get the laundry dry for the household.  Since I threw them out in the drive way here at my place and started pining the laundry up for it to dry it was not that bad at all.  Even the gal that I was baby sitting for was amazed in the middle of the week for all of the racks outside and laundry drying.  With that said the 2 youngest kids would be here and I gave them the option of the raido or nothing at all here at the time and I got another Rush listener out of the deal and the poor girl was only 2.  There was alot that I did for the kids that was on the cheap side of things also at their place with cooking.  It seemed somewhat weird to them at first and they got use to the idea that hey the food is good and can we have more also in what I cooked.  I also told the kids that this is how I cook at home at this point and they loved it.  So now I still cook on the cheap here and do not mind it what so ever at all along with other things for the household.  At this point in time since the move just about broke us anyway and knowing what I had in the household at the time it worked out better that way also.  Alot of things did get used up over the past 16 months and the cooking keeps on getting better along with other deals for the household at this time it is all good on my part of things here.  Even my Husband started laughing yesterday here since I just had a 10% coupon for the one store here and used it for the window unit for the A/C and got another one by Thursday here for the same place that I got the thing at it all works out for the good in my book.  The funny thing about all of it is that there are things at the one store that are dirt cheap and good stuff it works for me with paying a fraction of what other stores want for the same item here at this time.  Just like the shampoo and conditioner at several stores they want at least 7 dollars for the same thing that is 3 dollars at the bargin stores.  This is why I say shop around totally and get prices for things.  If you can walk it is even better to get the prices at that point also instead of driving.  So now here also even my Husband told me that when he comes home I will get more dishes than when I am alone in the household here since I cook more on the weekends.  With alot of the left overs now I will put them in bags instead of the containers so I have more room in the freezers here.  I will mark the time and temp on some of the things here along with the date that it was put into the freezer also so I know what is what.
