Stockpile

When we were slammed with the blizzard last week I wasn't concerned about what we were going to eat.  I knew we have more than enough of macaroni, steak, tomatoes to make sauce, cereal, fruit, soup, beans, hot dogs, bread, peanut butter, snacks, toliet paper, etc.  As the days crept by and we still didn't see a plow I was still okay.  I knew that we had enough food still.
During the storm and the clean up I had many days to think. I realized that until the show "Extreme Couponing" I had never heard of stockpiling.  Didn't it used to be called a pantry?
My thoughts of stockpiles have changed some since going through the blizzard.  I feel within moderation a little stockpile is good.  It showed me that maybe I head to the store a little to much to catch some great deals.  Then again if I didn't catch them deals would we have had enough food?  Whether you call it a pantry, a stockpile or just food I have come to realize it is okay and even good to have a few of your most used items.  You could buy more than one box of cereal, more than one can of soup.  The problem comes in when you start overbuying.
What are you low on, what did you run out of....take a look and organize your stockpile, pantry or food.
