Stock Room

Options
Hi does anyone keep a stock room etc, for all the supermarket bargains, etc.

I have been watching extreme couponing, and it is amazing, I know it could never be like that in the uk, but I am doing really well, from the coupons on this site, also with the freebies you often get coupons.

I think as times are getting harder I might give this a go on a small scale, just wondering if it is possible.

I am going to try to live on coupon deals, freebies and reduced items.
I am going to start properly from November and see how much I can save and use the money saved for xmas pressies hopefully.

Does anyone live solely like this, I would be very interested thanks:o

    I think my Nan has a "coupon house", she loads up on everything on offer or cheap and used to be much worse- once buying bogof dog food even though she had no dog :rotfl: maybe i inherited my bargain addiction?

    I'm not sure it's 100% doable as it's hard to get reduced dried/tinned food and coupons often aren't as cheap as basics or bulk buying on many things. But good luck!! In the past i've managed to do the odd few weeks living off the stocks + reduced food but you do end up eating some odd combinations and lots of normal foods aren't reduced or on offer much like eggs and the cravings can kick in.
    Living cheap in central London :rotfl:
