QOTD: Thurs Dec 05: In excess...

[danger_dan]

We all have our stockpiles of household supplies somewhere in the house...
...but do you have too much of anything?
Which, if any, household item(s) do you an excess amount of?

[Natalka]

Discovered when packing for our move, we have way too many cleaning products and smellies/candles. I've long since stopped buying any of those.

[Lynn49]

Nothing, except potty tissue and paper towels that hubby picks up when they're on sale, but still, only a few bundles of each.
I'm not one to stockpile or spend money just because something is a good deal, and I'm not talented enough (or perhaps I just don't put the time into) getting things free.
If and when we need something, we buy it and likely find it on sale; we're not product-loyal, so there's always a sale on something!

I have too many soaps and body washes. Although too much is a relative term. Let's just say I have enough for years.

You would be surprised how much stuff a household of 6 uses though.

I don't really stockpile a lot of household items, only enough to last us 6 months or less. If I have too much of anything it is probably Make-Up. I think I have 5 or 6 eye shadow palettes (almost all in browns and golds) and lots of gift with purchase items from Lancome. Plus I have 6 or 7 mini-sized makeup bags full of samples with everything from perfume to face wash and at least 30 different colors of nail polish. I just unloaded a bunch of items onto my brother's girlfriend and I'm pretty sure I have more that I could part with... I've seen worse makeup stashes, but I still have more than enough.

Im the same as Lynn - we don't stockpile and I dont have the knack to coupon and get free things lol
We stockpile our toilette paper and kleenex but we get it at Coscto lol

i hate having an over-excess of anything, except money of course!

i only buy the bare minimum now, nothing more than two.

[coyote00]

Let's see, the last time I bought deodorant was over 1 1/2 years ago because with couponing I was able to procure them for free or close to. I noticed the other day that we are down to a few so I will need to do another big buy when the time is right. Over the years of couponing, I have discovered that everything pretty much goes on sale and coupons available at least every quarter. So the most I will stockpile on most items is 3 months. We still have 2 teens at home so sometimes it is to our benefit to take advantage of some of the pre packaged items when there is a good deal.

You might consider donating some make-up to a women's shelter; so many leave home with the bare minimum and make-up, I'm pretty sure, isn't high on their list, but would sure do a lot for their self-esteem....

Toilet cleaner. Greenworks to be specific

[Candini]

Contraceptive foam LOL dkm. It was regular $15 on clearance for $1 and expires in like 2016. Pretty sure the cashier thought I was a nut case. (I am, though)


I used to have a lot of stuff then got annoyed and donated it all.

LOL *blushes* Well if I get pregnant I`ll let you know that it doesn`t work

[DiamondLil]

Body washes, shampoo and toilet paper. I tend to stock up on it when I find a sale. Also the basement is full of junk, toys and clothing my kids dont bother with much... I am so tempted to wash the stuffed toys and clothing my kids dont use and donate it, just to clear up some square footage in my basement. I swear if anyone saw my basement theyd accuse us of being hoarders!!!

[saddlebag]

I do have a small stockpile, but I do give a lot away
