    As many of you know, I'm a mother of 3 kids and we lived on 1 income since I lost my job in Feb 2009. We've been living frugally ever since and the only trips we take thus far are day trips to the beach and weekend camping in the woods.

    Thanks to all of my SC friends, for your tips, deals, advices, trades and RAOK.....

    I've built a decent stockpile that I called my household insurance and would like to share...

    I used $25 that I found from my RBW:
    http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/301085-...d-fpcs-canada/

    to paid for all the metal shelvings that I got.

    Enjoy!

    oh my... look at all those ziplocs!!!

    when I first read the title, I thought, how could someone be bragging about their insurance?! Unless they got some sort of incredible settlement.

    awesome stockpile, way to go OP!

    Great stockpile. May I also recommend anything that is 1-2 feet off the floor also be damp/moisture proof, in case of accidental flooding, (either backed up drain, washing machine or other) you wouldn't want to loose things because they got wet.

    I'm VERY impressed! Especially because you're in Ontario so I know you can't stack!

    Thank-you all for reps & compliments! I'm continue to do so.

    I'll be looking for night shifts work in a few months, as we are planning a California trip next year and the saving from the stockpile won't cover the cost of tickets & spending money for 5 of us.

    Any job suggestion would be much appreciated.

    Wow! You have indeed done some marvelous shopping! I would reinforce the idea of moving things off the floor - I have had SO many visits from invading water in my life! It would be a shame to lose any of your collection of "insurance."
