I’ve been building my stockpile for more than 3 years – it fills a whole room, I get trolled for being a ‘hoarder’
SAVING cash on every day errands is always a good thing.
One way to do just that is by couponing.
An extreme couponer named Alysia has gained over 70K subscribers to her YouTube channel in which she shows viewers how they too can coupon and reveals all she’s saved doing so herself.
She recently let viewers into her “stockpile room” to show off all the goods she’s collected with coupons.
And though it may seem impressive to some, others find it a bit ridiculous.
Behind her was a large shelf filled with laundry detergents and fabric softeners, as well as a peg board with toothbrushes, razors, and medicines.
As for why she stockpiles, “These are items that we’re getting for free or dirt cheap.
“But the deals vary week to week. So like, I can’t go to Walgreens and get Tide for $1.50 every single week.
“They only come around every so often, so when a deal does come around, you got to stock up a little bit.”
By doing this, she ensures that she’s covered on all products until the next deal comes around.

Rather than save some of her grocery budget for things like shampoo and body wash, she just grabs them from her stockpile room in which she’s built her collection.
She said this room also came in handy early on in the pandemic, when others were panic buying toilet paper and hand sanitizer.
Even if you don’t need the items that are on coupon sale that week, Alysia still recommends buying them:
“You could resell those. Because it’s items that you got for free or dirt cheap, you can sell them for a little bit more than you paid.
“But the person who is buying them from you is getting them for like 50% off retail without having to do the work of couponing.”
Taking us through the space, she showed just how expansive the room really was.
Multiple shelves with cleaning, beauty, and home products were against the walls.
There were piles of paper towel, diapers, shampoo, and toothpaste.
Many viewers were motivated by her organization:
“Looks so nice, makes me want to really work on mine,” one person wrote.

“Absolutely love it! I have the same large shelf and 2 smaller versions of it. I would love to have a peg board! Thank you for continuously sharing your great deals with us,” added another.
Still, Alysia said the comments that call her out for overdoing it and being a “hoarder” still roll in all the time.
