Do you ever stock pile on items when you see them on offer?

oooooooooo yes i love to stockpile! have stuff everywhere!!! only do it when its supercheap but i hate the cupboards etc being anything less than full and theres something comforting about knowing you could eat,drink,wash etc for years if need be!!!0

I use some of my BOGOFs every year to give my daughter and her husband a Christmas hamper - its a tradition they don't want to do without now.
It started when they were first together had just bought a house and were a bit hard up, now its a challenge to get lots of different freebies to fill it. When my work send me on courses and I stay in hotels I take all the freebies and I use this site to get a load more.
I even gave a hamper to a friend who got in some severe financial difficulties and couldn't even afford toiletries. It felt good to be able to help even though I've got my own problems and as they were all free or BOGOF, it really didn't hurt my quest to be debt free.0 -
All the time so long as they are products we use regularly. My one downfall was before Christmas when I kind of stockpiled chocolates when on offer and when time to wrap for Christmas I had eaten most them!!!!!!!! Moral of story don't buy choccies when on offer.
We are lucky that we have quite a large attic (which I might add needs a total de-clutter!) and I tend to store offer things or bulk buy from Costco up there.
