What's in your cabinet? I reluctantly admit, I have been addicted to the show "Extreme Couponing" as of late--well, the reruns on Netflix anyway, and while I am MAD JEALOUS of their supply hoards........The foods just aren't what I would usually buy and eat. I suppose an emergency supply of anything is better than nothing, but assuming the emergency comes after the shelf life of the stored items, I would be stuck eating, donating, or throwing away BPA lined cans of tuna, boxes upon boxes of GMO filled cereal, and, as every single one of the couponers stockpiled, cases of sugar laden "Vitamin water".
The sheer amount of the hoard they have still peers into the depths of my hoarding soul though. I suppose I shouldn't hate. I've made my choices and I should respect theirs without jealousy like a good anarchist.
I also am likely limited on the discounts I could get on the detergent and other non-food items the couponers had due to the fact grocery stores near me sadly do not double coupons.
Is limiting the food in my cabinet and stockpile to GMO free, BPA free, and organic where possible (but avoiding ingredients known to likely be GMOs) Snooty?? Am I over thinking it? Is it risking my life by having a smaller stockpile due to cost restrictions? Or is quality over quantity a huge factor?
Anyone out there in the blogosphere prepping with organic food and BPA free cans (or glass jars) in mind? I would love to know!
Anyone an extreme couponer? Is it worth the time and effort to do it only for the tax benefits of donating the items to charity?
Please comment!!
