I am lucky to have my oldest working at walmart...as far as finding good deals. She looks daily for stuff to add to our food stockpile, I know of several walmarts who have the food markdown cart way back in the back by the dairy sections for those who don't know about it. Well the other night she called and the smaller reg. $2.59 each crystal light pink lemonade canisters marked down to $1.00 I did not have coupons, but hubby loves this stuff so I told her to buy all 15 of them, Unfortunately in the few minutes it took her to call me, people bought all but 3 lol but I got 3 of them. Also they had vermicelli boxes for 10 cents each!!!!!!!!!!!!  She was able to get me 55 boxes, 55 boxes of vermicelli for $5.50, What a great addition to the stockpile. And these are just noodles, I can use these for spaghetti, buttered noodles, chicken noodle soup etc. Plus I have found that there are great recipes online for using it. This is probably the best excuse to save a little money back each paycheck for these "sales" or loss leader sales from your supermarket.  I will take pics of my stockpile and the vermicelli boxes as soon as I get the chance.

I also wanted to pass along that I read earlier today on a few other sites, that the price of sugar is expected to soar in the next month or so. Time to start adding sugar, honey, molases etc to stockpiles at the prices currently. I had noticed that this passed two weeks many grocers had sugar cheap cheap lol wonder what they know haha.

Also walmart will begin marking their summer stuff way way down around $1.00 each piece for clothing and shoes, so keep watch for this stuff. I know I will, With six kids you better beat me there!!!!
