As supermarkets sell out of toilet paper and hand sanitiser amid a global panic over the deadly coronavirus one Australian mother has shared the stockpiling techniques she uses for her family of three.
The woman, from New South Wales, shared images of her neatly organised laundry room to social media, which she has filled with hundreds of grocery items to ensure she never runs out of food.
There is every variety of bean imaginable, peas, pasta sauces, pickles, Dorito chips, as well as hundreds of cleaning products for use in the shower and around the house.

She has plenty of Pepsi, bottled water, juices, cans of soft drink and toilet paper as well as breakfast spread, hot chocolate, soy sauce and coconut milk.
Every item has a place on the Bunnings $35 storage devices she has set up to contain the produce so she can very easily reach for whatever she needs.
Some suggested the surplus of groceries was a result of the increasing coronavirus panic sweeping the nation, but the mother said she simply enjoys purchasing the products her family uses when they are on special.

When asked how she got started, the Aussie woman said she decided to take discounted items seriously five years ago after going through a period of time where she ‘couldn’t afford to feed the family’

‘There have been lots of learning curves. I only ever buy half price or less for items to stockpile. I wouldn’t stockpile perishables unless you are positive you will use them,’ she said.
Most months she will only have to purchase additional meat, fresh fruit, vegetables and dairy for her family, because otherwise they rely on the stockpile.

She shifts the things that have a closer best before date to the front of the piles so these items are used first, although most items will last upwards of a year.
If she spots something for half price she’s inclined to buy as many as six of that item at a time, which builds up over time.
Ultimately the savings are ‘huge’ and well worth the effort of keeping her laundry room organised.

‘Impressive! You’ve done an amazing job and probably saved yourself hundreds if not thousands,’ one woman comments under the photos.
‘This is my dream. I aim to never pay full price so I shop around and sometimes drive hours to get the right bargain,’ said another.
A third added: ‘This is like having a corner store in your house’.
