Stocking up!

Okay ladies besides stockpiling diapers and wipes for your LO's what are some other items you stockpiled before you LO arrives!?

So far I'm stocked up on laundry detergent for both my husband and I and our son, toilet paper, clorox wipes, dish soap, and bathroom cleaners.

We don't plan on stocking up on food because of our upcoming move. Is there anything else you ladies can think of to stock up on!?

I don't have an insane stock of stuff. I have enough diapers for over a year and about 6months worth of wipes and shampoos for us for about a year and enough baby soap for about a year and same with bar soap. I have enough toothpaste and tooth brushes and razors and deoterant for like 2years and my pads should last like 6 months

Haha I agree with @jordyvi0824, except I think EVERYONE should do it. We don't pay full price for anything! Just on groceries this month weve already saved $60! I wish I could extreme coupon like some people, but we save what we have to where we can! :)

@ash060115 Thank you! Yep we couponed and worked hard for the diapers and wipes. They retail at about $450 and we paid about $200 for everything. Which was awesome. We have gotten a lot of really good deals. I just wasn't thinking about picking stuff up for my husband and I until like this weekend. lol.

@gelli612 I actually have a 3 month supply of nursing pads already. I stocked up on those a few months ago when we were working on our son's stockpile!

@ash060115 sort of, I don't have a crazy stash of things in my garage though like some of those people, but I coupon and I do stock up on things that I need (within reason.) We stockpiled about a 4 month supply of diapers and about an 8 month supply of wipes earlier in pregnancy. Now I'm just trying to get my husband and I ready because I doubt between his work schedule and us being 1,400 miles away from any family that we are going to have a lot of time to shop for different things before our move back home

I did buy a couple packages of pads, I have a pretty good stockpile on tooth paste, but I should pick up some toothbrushes and probably shampoo and conditioner.
