My Stockpile **Picture**

There it is! My stockpile. I've been working on it for about 10 months now. I use a plastic shelf from Home Depot to hold my items. The shelf is around $40, but we already had it before I started.

The top shelf is cleaning and laundry supplies:
*Softener Sheets
*Toilet Bowl Cleaners
*Shower Cleaners
*Windex
*Furniture Polish
*Multi-Surface Cleaners
*Air & Surface Disinfectant Sprays
*Disinfectant Wipes
*Dishwashing Liquid

The 2nd shelf is beauty supplies:
*Shampoo & Conditioner
*Eye Makeup Remover Pads
*Tampons
*Hand Soap
*Lotion
*Facial Cleansers
*Facial Cleansing Wipes
*Hairspray, Mousse
*Hand Sanitizer
*Bandaids
*A basket with toothpaste and toothbrushes

The 3rd and 4th shelf is mostly for larger items:
*Laundry Detergent
*Fabric Softener
*Tissue Boxes
*Boxes of Zip-loc baggies
*Bleach
*Foil
*Wax Paper
*Paper Bowls and Plates
*Disposable Gloves (we use these when handling meat)
*Toilet Paper
*Paper Towels

I am also using another shelf for food items. I didn't take a picture, because I only have peanut butter, jelly and diced tomatoes stored in the basement.

It has been really fun to build up a stockpile! I don't need to buy shampoo for quite awhile! LOL!

This week, I started using the money I would have been using for building my stockpile, to buy Christmas gifts. It's a great feeling to have a bit extra to use. I know I can get through to the new year without having to buy any household or beauty supplies.
