Groceries 6/2 - why you should stockpile with coupons

Since we are moving to a place where my nearest Kroger will be an HOUR away (gasp) I am playing the serious stockpile game until we move while my two favorite stores are only 2 minutes away. Here is what I got at our local schnucks - it is a GREAT get some stuff for free week! I know what you're thinking, why do I need all that bbq sauce?!? Well, for one, I'm giving 8 to my aunt who loves this sauce and two, it doesn't expire until June 2011 - I know we can go through 12 bottles of free sauce in a year :) I will be going back for more free juice, free wacky mac pasta that they were completely out of, more trail mix (we can go through that like water around here) and 2 more packages of hot dogs for the freezer. I normally never buy paper plates/cups unless they are free but we are moving and $0.25 to not do dishes sounded great to me.
Free after coupon: 20 sweet baby rays BBQ sauce, 1 crab classic, 2 old orchard juice, 2 Pompeian Red Wine Vinegar

Less than $1 after coupon: 6 Turkey Hot Dogs - $.50 each, 4 Turkey Bologna - $0.50 each, 8 Trail Mix ($1/2 tear pad) $0.50 each, 3 Solo plates and 1 Cups $0.25 each (use $0.75/1 coupons and got a $4 catalina for purchasing 4)

Total before sales and coupons: $139.07
Total spent: $10
Total Saved: $129.07 or 93%
Now - why pay full price for anything later when you can stockpile it now for free?
