Stockpiling: How Much… Do I Need Again?
The idea of stockpiling can be a bit overwhelming, when first starting out. Quantity purchasing guidelines may vary tremendiously depending on who you ask, but I found these Stockpile Amount Guidelines by The Krazy Coupon Lady to be reasonable for families on a modest budget.
She suggests:
- A two week supply of milk, eggs & bread
- A one to two month supply of perishables {meat, frozen veggies, etc.}
- Six months or more of canned goods, drinks & other packaged foods
- A one to two year supply of non-perishables {tolietries, paper goods, laundry goods & other cleaning supplies}
Does this mean that you can’t purchase more if your budget allows? Absolutely not! It just means your stockpile will grow faster 
Remember, if at all possible buy before you need and only buy what you can/will use. You will not spontaniously combust if you walk away from some deals {believe me I’ve done it, and lived to write this post}. Final note: Need + Stockpile = Total Shopping Budget so you don’t break the bank.
