I had several coupons expiring today, so I ventured around town this evening once the husband got home this evening. Unfortunately my four $2.25 Electrasol coupons went to waste, because nowhere had a decent price on them. Target was $4.79, Wal-Mart was $4.49. ?!?? Not long ago the same exact package was $2.79!!

On Saturday I spent a few hours organizing the guest bedroom, which is also where my stockpile currently is set up. I plan to move it to my office shortly, but I need to get the office cleaned out first. I reorganized the entire stockpile set up and thought I would share some pictures.



Closet. I moved another rubbermaid drawer organizer in there to put make-up, toothpaste, deodorants, razors, etc. Diapers and cat food all stacked in there too.



My make-up drawer. I didn't pay a penny for any of this! It's a shame I don't wear make-up. I might be set for life if that were the case.





Wipes and Purex detergent are lined up next to the shelving unit. Once I relocate everything to the office, I'll have to get more shelves!!

And to end this entry, here's a picture of Lily the chameleon! She is doing great. Eating well and growing quickly!
