Since my last post about my stockpile, I've made some improvements to it, by improvement I really mean I've expanded it into the closet next to my cupboard. I'm still using my cupboard above my washer and dryer (I don't have any pictures because it currently has some Christmas presents in it that I don't want certain people to see). Beside my washer and dryer there has always been a pretty much empty closet, with the exception of a couple old jackets hanging in it, I didn't really use it for much. Well one day I decided that is where I should keep my stock pile, the problem? It was just an empty space with only one small shelf at the top. So I told myself I will keep an eye on shelving units and when they go on sale I will pick one up. Well something better happened. When my husbands grandmother was moving she had one in her basement that was the perfect size for my closet and she said she was just throwing it out so I asked if I could have it instead, and now I have a nice little shelving unit inside my closet to hold a big chunk of my stock pile. To make matters even better? Last night I saw a picture of a fellow couponer's bright idea, a peg board with hooks to hold all the stock pile items that can be hung! I thought it was the greatest idea in the world and I showed my husband and said some day I would like to do this. Well this morning he decided to surprise me and he cut and hung a nice little piece or peg board inside my closet :-)
I'm still constantly moving around items in my stock pile, deciding on how I want the to be stored. Right now I'm trying to keep similar items together, but at the same time I'm trying to keep the most dangerous (cleaners, etc.) out of reach of my 2 year old daughter, so it's not exactly perfect.
So here's a picture of my new and improved closet :-D
