I got a good chuckle about the cereal! I currently have 36 boxes/bags in my basement...and another 9 on top of my fridge (the currently-in-use cereals). (This is cold cereals only, of course--oatmeal and such is different!) And just for kicks, I went back to one of my friend's blogs because she had once posted about cereal...and she had over 100 boxes/bags at that time! :) So you're right--it all depends on storage space, family size and usage, etc. Loved reading this post again. Thanks for your very-helpful blog!!! And hooray for cereal! ;) I know this is an old post, but I clicked over to it from one of your links today and was re-reading it.

Also the other day, a friend stopped by whose husband had the flu. She had already gone out and bought him full priced Threaflu (cringe..it was free at Walgreens last week), but it made my heart happy to give her some Halls cough drops that the store paid me $.75 to buy. .-= ThePrudentPatron´s last blog ..<a href="http://theprudentpatron.blogspot.com/2009/10/publix-spent-1886-on-9014-worth-of.html" rel="nofollow">Publix - Spent $16.85 on $88.13 worth of Groceries</a> =-.

It always amazes me at the benefits there are to it from donating it to giving it away to friends and family.

At the same time like you mention in your post I think you need to figure out at what point is enough enough.

When I think of how much I used to spend on shampoo, razors and toothpaste I want to cry. I have saved so much and now am able to actually help out other families in need with bags goodies when they need it the most. I have gotten pretty good at stockpiling over the last year.

That's one less expense for us and it's fun to get stuff for free!
