what items are over stocked at your house?

[Dancing Fire]

we stock more bottles of hair conditioner than Costco.

 

[April20]

Dishwasher tabs. Electrasol has a great coupon out and Target had a sale and they were 54 cents a box. DH calculates we have enough for two years. But hey, they don''t go bad.

Laundry detergent- I hit some really, really good sales with coupons and have cut myself off from buy any more for a while. I think I have ten bottles or so.

[that_someone_special]

Funny you should ask.

I was just wondering how many, uh, gallons of shower gel I have. I''m a Lush-fanatic and it''s the only thing I like to hoard.

I did write out the amount of all that I have, but it''s too embarrassing. heh.

Let''s just say, I can take $30-$50 baths and still have enough bath/shower items left- for over a year.

 

[gemgirl]

I stock everything we use. My pantry has extra laundry soap and cleaning supplies, my second fridge and freezer is stocked and my food pantries are stocked with canned and boxed things. Even my bathroom cabinets are overstocked with sundries. I like to have enough of everything in the house, so in case I can''t go out for a couple of weeks (I''m chronically ill), I really don''t have to worry about basic food or supplies.

 

[princessplease]

Deodorant, chex mix, BBW hand soaps and BBW body washes.

 

[Luckyeshe]

Detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, lotion, dishwashing liquid, and canned dog food

 

[Sizzle]

toilet paper. I am paranoid about running out. There are 4 of us in the house and there are probably about 64 rolls right now! I shop in bulk and only by the strong mega rolls of Charmin. It''s a big joke in my family and YES I bring some when I travel. I HATE generic toilet paper!

LOL!

We have enough soap to see us out.

I buy it from a local soap factory and stack it in baskets. I''m not a fan of air fresheners, but the soaps make closets and bathrooms smell nice.

Dishwasher tabs.

funny enough, me too.

 

[dragonfly411]

pasta. I have like 12 boxes of pasta. I am a sucker and buy some almost every time it is on sale. Mind you, we have a lot of pasta to eat too

I JUST made spaghetti and am probably doing bow-tie with shrimp tonight.

Also.... Salad dressing. I swear my grandma sneaks in bottles every time she comes over to visit our dogs. I have like 15 bottles. We need to eat more salad

 

[radiantquest]

I don''t really stock up on things because we are already so overpacked in our too little house, but I do end up with too manys of things on accident. For instance, I have like 8 bottles of lotion that I do not use. I have a hard time finding products that I really like so I buy a bottle, then the next time I am at Target I see another kind that I would like to try and this continues until I have way too many for one person to use. I also have too many deoderants. Again, before I find one that works I try many so there are about 6 deoderants with one use sitting under the bathroom sink never to be used again. I can''t bear to throw either the deoderant or lotion out because what happens if I run out and need one of the back ups?

 

[shertz1981]

Canned soup. We have two shelves of it. We always get sucked into the 10 for $10 sales.

 

[lilyfoot]

Hmm .. nothing

The only thing I can think of is that currently we have about 5 boxes of pasta that FI likes (but they each only make enough for 1 meal), because they were B1G1 last time we went grocery shopping.

 

[mayachel]

Books! No room for anything else. Very little pantry/closet space.

 

[gingerB]

yummy smelling lotions. i think i just may have a lifetime supply. my bathroom cabinet looks like a mini bbw

 

[Rachel9]

I tend to overstock the pantry with basics. I''m a swiffer addict, just counted 11 boxes of 16 cout refills

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Nothing, really. I hate having too much in my small apartment.

Paperwork is taking over my living room, though. I need to sort through it ASAP.

one time my wife went to a Campbell Soup warehouse sale,she bought like 40-50 cases

we ate like 10 cans,then after it was out-dated it took me 10 weeks to get rid of all those cases because the garbage container can only hold so much per week, plus it was too heavy.

Canned soup goes out of date? I thought they were unperishables(i think that is the word). That is what they always told me to bring in when I was in school to give to the needy. I am going to have to look we probably have chicken noodle from 1996 in the pantry because we are not soup eaters.

Have any of you seen that show Hoarders. It comes on A&E. These people really buy and hang on to stuff.

 

[kama_s]

Nothing. If necessary, I buy a second of something on sale. But I usually even prefer to buy kitchen towels one roll at a time!

My mother is probably responsible for me being anti-stocking. She stocks EVERYTHING, must have 30 bottles of shampoo/20 bottles of ketchup at last count. Once, she came home with 20kg (YES, KILOGRAMS) of rice

You MUST be kidding!!!

Your wife and my mother would make great friends!

 

[Prana]

Paper towels!

 

[MichelleCarmen]

TP and paper towels. The thought of running out of either freaks me out!

 

[upgrade]

I wish I could say diamonds! But I''d be lying...

Diapers. I buy them in mass quanitites when they''re on sale.

 

[packrat]

We have extra tp, and several bars of soap. Our house is so small, we can''t really "over" stock anything b/c there''s no room. JD has a lot of deer sausage and deer ring bologna in the chest freezer downstairs. That''s about it.

i wouldn''t eat it if i were you.

Wine and cereal. Although "wine overstocked" seems like an oxymoron to me....

My skin care line. I have tripilicates of eVERYTHING I use on my face, am and pm.
