Love your stockpile! I have to sometimes remind myself too of why I started to couponing. It wasn't because of an awesome and filled stockpile but to save lots of money on things that we use every single day. Things that don't expire too soon. And to be picky helps too, we really don't need to get every single deal.
I would love to see more couponing tips for beginners!! I used to coupon, but I was so confused and couldn’t keep track. I really enjoy how you break things down, and I love your personality. ❤️❤️ thank you for the inspiration!
Great stockpile tour! It's not too overwhelming for at least 2 years worth for a family. The only thing I would suggest is put some of the "about to expire" stuff in the front as you go and check those expiration dates on your makeup products. Clearance prices can be iffy on makeup, deodorant, and candies. Sometimes it's because they need to make space in the store and other times it's because something is about to expire soon.
I love your stockpile! And i cant wait til your next video. People look at me crazy cause i have alot of toilet paper and shampoo and conditioner. But i remember when i didnt have enough money to buy any or had to wait til next pay for thing i needed. I just started couponing about 2 months ago and i can say its helped out alot with saving money and i know i wont run out of things, cant wait til my stockpile looks full like yours. 😁
I really love this video. I started at the end of 2019 and I wish people understood how much I was saving...I've already paid off a high debt credit card with the extra money we have.... its changed my life for the better. And I only do the deals for products I love or for moneymakers that help pay for products I love😂
Activist Granny2.0 me too. I keep mine like most separate from my other stuff. I wanted to keep my toothpaste under the sink but organized it yesterday. I realized I would just want to throw out all the extra crap because that’s what I wanted to do then. Too much needed to go under the sink
I love your stockpile you have the kind I would like full of items that you don’t have to worry about expiring like paper products and hygiene products. Sometimes people get so consumed with stockpiling they forget that the food items they are holding onto don’t have a long shelf life🥺 I would love to see a expanded stockpile video in the future I enjoyed this one a lot
Hello..Just seeing this 😂 Can't imagine what it looks like now...you are so right! Buy enough to get you thru the next cycle...I can't believe that once upon a time----- I actually paid for toothpaste and RAZORS 😲 have a great week, Alysia
I am stocking up in preperation of moving into my own home! If at the start I don't have to worry about things like toothpaste, shampoo, or detergent, I feel like life will be a lot less stressful for my first time being out!
Great stockpile Aly. I wish I have that much space to store my stockpile. I’ve also been couponing for a while now but I have a very limited space so I had to live off my stockpile for almost a year. I did a stockpile tour I think that was last year too lol. As for now, I getting back on it again and getting some awesome deals for the past few weeks. Be safe always. New subbie here... 😊
I am not sure how old your kids are but I would caution you on buying too many school supplies in advance. All of our teachers sent lists home with specific colors and brands that they wanted for each subject. Yes this was public school. But I would stock up on sticky notes, tissues, crayons and hand sanitizer for the classrooms. Those were the items teachers were always asking for. Great job providing for your family!
Just FYI foundations have protiens in them that will go bad. Might store in fridge to extend their life. Lipsticks too. Very nice stock pile. Where do you get shelves? So neat and organized.
Can you please help me understand the coupons I can use? I have the coupons app, retail me not app and cvs and Walgreens. I don’t understand how to use them all the best way, if that makes sense
Well thank you ☺️ And hey i still make mistakes! Couponing can be overwhelming at first but eventually you get the hang of it. But even then, it’s easy to mess up. But just learn from it and keep going 😊
Hey ! I love love your videos and tiktoks. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to do specials videos for how to coupon wipes and diapers ? First time mom struggling here. I hope I'm not asking too much. Love your stockpile , stay blessed !❤❤
My family often complains about my couponing because I have a mini stockpile already. But if I can get it between $2 and free I dont see a problem. Recently I have cut my spending down to around 20-30 a week and that includes food because of couponing. I also try to coupon the things that dont expire like deodorant because I have two sons, 2&4, and I'd like when the time comes to just be able to hand them hygiene supplies from my stockpile.
Thanks for the tour! How do you get family on board with your process? I have received tons of criticism from all around. Some I realize are not motivated to do themselves others think I am a hoarder 😂
Amy Sanazaro Bright they have always been pretty supportive. But I would say just keep doing your thing and once they see your stockpile grow they may think otherwise!
Wow great stock pile!!! Hi I am trying to coupon for the first time in a long time. What are some good fb groups or websites to follow. 😊 My first trip back to couponing went sorta wrong yesterday lol 🤦🏼♀️
🙌🙌🙌 girl yes!!!! Unfortunately I myself couldn't find a group near me. You know so that we can swap coupons and stuff, but nooooooo. My first time couponing the highest I paid was almost $50. Had to learn the hard way how to coupon. And with in a month I was able to build some stock pile. I have tons of make up to give away for birthday presents or for my girls to play with... teens lol. Good luck
Hey we’ve all been there! Lol. As far as Facebook groups, “Couponing for beginners” is a great place to start. There are also groups for each store such as “Walgreens couponing”. A great website/app to use is the Krazy coupon lady.
Yes, you just need an even number of items and coupons. So for instance you can't purchase 1 item and use 2 RR. You would need to purchase two items to use both RR. That's why I usually grab whatever candy is on sale to use as a "filler"
I don't go to Walgreens often, but I do go to cvs often. People always ask how I keep at least $20-$30 in ecbs all the time while also using them to pay for most of my purchases. 1-I find that the more I shop there the more crts I get. Pair the crts with other crts, manufacturers coupons, store sales that are also offering ecbs for purchasing said sale items. (Non manfctr cvs store coupons that can be paired with manfctr coupons, sales, and other crts. Ie...a $3 off $12 hair care crt, with a $3 off 2 items elvive crt, a $3 off Aussie crt, a $2 off Aussie manfctr cpn, a $2 off elvive manfctr cpn. Elvive is on sale 2 for $8 with a $2 ecb. Aussie on sale bogo 1/2 off with a $2 crt. I spend like $3 out of pocket but get $4 back in ecbs. Plus, my total before coupons goes toward my beauty rewards of spend $30 get $3 ecbs) 2 knowing when and when not to buy certian things. I try to follow my own rule of never paying more out of pocket then 1/3 of the retail price. On top of paying that, if I am not getting back at least 80% of my out of pocket spending in ecbs it isn't worth it for me because I know if I can just wait it out a better deal will come along. I made an extra trip to cvs last night because I have 15 year old step daughter who is starting to get really upset about the new acne/breakouts she has been getting. I noticed I had a $9 off of $45 skincare for face/body crt. I also had several crts for olay and nuetrogena. Along with a $3 off of $10 crt for any Aveeno products...with some other crts. And manufacturers cpns for all items. My total was $63 before coupons and crts. After crts and coupons it was $19. I had ecbs to pay for it luckily, but for her I would have paid it out of pocket if I had to. I also got back $12 in ecbs and I will get $6 in ecbs for beauty club. So the ecbs I got back were like $1 and some change away from what I paid. And you can't beat that price for all of the facial cleanser, moisturizers, acne treatments, make up and cleansing wipes I got.
It's also worth noting, I think, that when starting out it is good to be realistic about the ecbs or register rewards points. Sometimes, your first few transactions you should be willing to pay a little more out of pocket to get started collecting the rewards. The more you "practice" the more you will learn what works for you and what doesn't. But in order to roll those rewards into future purchases, you need to start getting them. And sometimes that means paying a few dollars more then maybe the total you see in a video or how-to. When you first get started its hard to do all of the free transactions or money makers that you see all the experts getting. You will want to do the same thing but I found it took practice. I had to accept at the beginning that my totals wouldn't always be close to nothing! But...was I saving my family money? Was what I was doing actually worth it? For me, it was. Looking back my first like 6 trips as a couponer are something that now I wouldn't repeat. However, it is what helped me get to where I am. It was a big trial and error training experience!
Sorry to write you a novel. But if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to offer any advice I can! I may not have a huge stockpile...but I don't have the space for one at the moment. I give all my extra stuff to my step daughters mother's home. She has herself, a 6 month old, my 13 & 15 year old step daughters, her husband and his two teenage sons. I keep about 6 months of stuff on hand for myself and my son. And send the girls home with stuff every weekend. Anything extra beyond that goes to my local women's shelter on a once a month basis. Some months are much better then others, but it's my way of helping the community!
Alysia I so need to start learning food. i'm still a newie of 8 months. I appreciate your tutorials so much, we don't' have a krogers, only a publix and very few winn dixies., Hope to keep saving for my family.
What about expiration dates? For example will you be able to use all that bbq sauce before it expires? (I hope that doesn’t sound snide), I am new and have been wondering about stockpiles, so thank you for for talking about this. 🙂
gotdairy you have to rotate and use oldest first. Also a lot of us share our stockpiles with friends families and of course our nearest food pantries. I hope that helps.
Any tips on growing wt my channel. I started 6 months ago and I’m doing ok but can you give me any tips on growing my subscribers. I love doing Publix more then any other. My channel is Wanda mercado.
Most of my subscribers came from TikTok so I am not very knowledgeable on RUclips and it’s algorithm. I highly recommend The Content Bug. She has a channel here on RUclips and she has some great tips!
I’m glad you mentioned about not going crazy with a stockpile. It defeats the purpose of saving money if you’re going crazy buying every deal!
Love your stockpile! I have to sometimes remind myself too of why I started to couponing. It wasn't because of an awesome and filled stockpile but to save lots of money on things that we use every single day. Things that don't expire too soon.

This is a perfect size stockpile!! I can’t wait till mine gets this big thank you so much for your videos and all the information!!❤️
Yes! I'm in the place of trying to figure out when to get a deal or not. Its HARD to turn down a deal but I'm getting there! THANKS GIRL!

Such a beautiful stockpile! Not too much like I've seen with other couponers. Thanks for the inspiration!! ❤😊
Hello ms lady.... your school supply stock pile is on fleek. It's like mine that i started YEARS AGO. Lol I love your paper stock pile.
I really love this video. I started at the end of 2019 and I wish people understood how much I was saving...I've already paid off a high debt credit card with the extra money we have.... its changed my life for the better. And I only do the deals for products I love or for moneymakers that help pay for products I love😂
This is great could you please cover more on starting small hauls to roll over ☺️
I keep a small stockpile because having too much stuff gives me anxiety. I give a lot to my son and granddaughter.
Activist Granny2.0 me too. I keep mine like most separate from my other stuff. I wanted to keep my toothpaste under the sink but organized it yesterday. I realized I would just want to throw out all the extra crap because that’s what I wanted to do then. Too much needed to go under the sink
Off topic, but I love your eyes. They are so big, bright, and innocent. Thanks for the lesson.
I wish we have coupons here in the Philippines too. 😊
Same 😭 that'd be very helpful and enjoyable for sure
same
so true 😁 😍 😍
I love your stockpile you have the kind I would like full of items that you don’t have to worry about expiring like paper products and hygiene products.

Hello..Just seeing this 😂
Can't imagine what it looks like now...you are so right! Buy enough to get you thru the next cycle...I can't believe that once upon a time----- I actually paid for toothpaste and RAZORS 😲

I am stocking up in preperation of moving into my own home! If at the start I don't have to worry about things like toothpaste, shampoo, or detergent, I feel like life will be a lot less stressful for my first time being out!
Do you donate the school supplies to a school for students who doesn't come to school with supplies because parents can't afford
Hey did you get your peg board? I am considering getting one
Great stockpile Aly. I wish I have that much space to store my stockpile. I’ve also been couponing for a while now but I have a very limited space so I had to live off my stockpile for almost a year. I did a stockpile tour I think that was last year too lol. As for now, I getting back on it again and getting some awesome deals for the past few weeks. Be safe always. New subbie here... 😊

I get them from Walmart. Although I will need to upgrade some of them for something sturdier soon. My shampoo shelves aren’t holding up very well
I like it looks nice I want a room to organize mine 😜. I’m new I started 10 months ago, but is in Spanish .
I'm a newbie to the couponing world. However I'm your biggest fan!
Can you please help me understand the coupons I can use? I have the coupons app, retail me not app and cvs and Walgreens. I don’t understand how to use them all the best way, if that makes sense
I'm a newbie , luv the easy help u give ... Will keep following to get as good as u ..😘😘.. still making mistakes.

Kairi126453 Hi 🙂 I found that cvs,target and Walgreens were the best stores to coupon for diapers. Cvs was my favorite🙂

Coupons with Alysia Thank you!!
Can I shop there tho 🤪😅
I swear I can’t coupon but I’m trying hard ! 💪🏼
Keep trying you’ll get it! Couponing can be very overwhelming at first.
Can you use 2 register rewards together in one transaction
Yes, you just need an even number of items and coupons. So for instance you can't purchase 1 item and use 2 RR. You would need to purchase two items to use both RR. That's why I usually grab whatever candy is on sale to use as a "filler"
Do you have a way we can contact you? I’m struggling with how you get so many coupons and how you get so many RR and ECB?

Yes, that does help! Thank you, I’m still learning!!
gotdairy i would use it after it expires except maybe any milk or rusted cans. But it’s good to donate if you know you won’t use it before then
Hi, love your stock pile. I want to start one but I don't know where to get the coupons. Can you let me know where to get them. Thank you 😊❤️
Sunday newspaper inserts ☺️
You should try KROGER CASH BACK
Only 1 thing of medicine? Im finding that hard to store with such variety.
Angela Vanover I just keep all medicine and vitamins and that sort of stuff together.
