Re: Do You Stockpile?

I don't go too mad but like to know I have plenty in just in case I'm ill and can't get to the shops or, in bad weather, I don't want to go out

Malcolm, l have read otherwise!..........

You shouldn't really stockpile tons of tablets (or powder), because the oxygen based bleach can dissipate into the atmosphere, rendering the detergent much less efficient than it would be if freshly bought.

Re: Do You Stockpile?

Blimey, yes, I'm guilty of stock piling. Whenever I open a new bottle of hand wash in the bathroom I make sure I buy more. If in Wilkos, I get their cheap loo rolls and kitchen paper. I have several cans of soups, sachet soups, stuffing mixes, black bags and small bin liners.

I have cans and bottles of non alcoholic drinks.

And don't get me started on stationery!!! Ruled pads, cash books, any jotter pad, small notepads for my daily spend. Pens.

Blank DVDs and CDs, for when I get round to transferring stuff onto them.

My FF is always full, then months down the line I end up throwing stuff away!

Naughty naughty me, but I can't stop it. At the moment I should have enough to feed me for awhile. I have a list on the FF door of the contents, and also on the lounge cupboard, which is in danger of the contents toppling out onto me.

Re: Do You Stockpile?

Just loo rolls. The triple ply ones not those ones yer finger goes through...well you never know do yer.

Re: Do You Stockpile?

Yep me to.

Freezer full, cupboards with tins and packets, toilet paper, kitchen roll, washing powder, shower gels, bubble bath, bleach etc.

About twice a year we live on what is in the freezer and cupboards and just buy fresh stuff. Then restock.

Re: Do You Stockpile?

Ooooh yes, in my new bedroom unit I have TWO big boxes of washing powder and, even though they contain fabric conditioner, I have a bottle of that too.

Yes, yes, I know...why not buy the powder on its own, or not bother with the FC, but I do feel the wash needs that little bit extra.

And as for shower and bath gels...yup, those too! Years ago I bought a huge bag of them from M&S as they were on a deal. Even got matching hand creams. Still trying to work my way through my stock because in between I have been given such toiletries as gifts, so adding to the pile! I even sold some at a car boot last year.

Re: Do You Stockpile?

Less efficient but not unusable just use two tabs instead of one, at work all our dishwasher tabs are out of date when they arrive, we just lob a couple in the washer instead of one works perfectly well. You can also use them to bleach sinks, cups, loos etc if they are not full strength.

Re: Do You Stockpile?

I don't stock pile, but my late husband did & there is a freezer full of food he put in there & a cupboard full of tinned stuff. I could live on it for months, if I liked it all that is. All I'd need to buy is bread, eggs, butter/spread & cheese. At present I live on eggs, bacon & something on toast.
We have used up the loo paper, tissues, kitchen paper & dishwasher stuff, so that I did have to buy again.

Re: Do You Stockpile?

I don't stockpile.
My food has to be fresh so I meat shop every other day.
Fruit and veg has to be fresh too.
I don't do tinned food except soup. Can't be bothered making it.
I do keep a healthy supply of cleaning and personal hygiene
products in.

Edit:!i tell a fib, I have about 15,000 bricks in my yard.
Many differing types and makers with very little value unless someone asks for a garden wall.

Re: Do You Stockpile?

I do that too Meg, I refuse to pay full price, I even do it with some food items such as cappuccino sachets and cheese, but only things I use regularly.
I don't like wasting money, probably because I can't afford to, but, I suspect even if I won the lottery I'd do the same!
