Home > Extreme Couponing 101 > Help Needed: How Do You Organize Your Stock Pile?
This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure here.
I’ve been at this coupon thing for almost 7 years now. However, I confess that in all that time I still haven’t figured out the best way to organize things. When we moved a little while ago it meant tackling the beast head on. Sadly in packing things up I found two trash bags full of food that had expired. To be completely honest some of it had expired over a year ago. My heart was heavy with each box that went in the bag and I’m eager to figure out ways to never have to do that again!
We already use Cansolidators for canned goods, most of my problems were on boxed items. I would love to know what tips you have on how you keep track of your pantry. How do you organize it? How do you make sure to use the oldest items first?
I have no doubt that I’m not the only one that has this confession. So hopefully some of you can learn with me.
