    Cool What's in your Stockpile...

    of personal products? Here's my quick list;
    6 floss samples
    2 toothpaste samples
    6 full-sized toothpastes
    9 adult toothbrushes
    21 toddler toothbrushes
    3 full-sized deoderants
    5 deoderant samples
    Almay mascara
    2 boxes of haircolor
    Gillette razor
    64 maxi pads
    128 lightdays pads
    4 bars of deoderant soap
    2 soap samples
    4 Bath and Body Works cream lotions(b-day gift)
    6 BBW lotions(b-day gift)
    1 BBW bubble bath(shower gift)
    1 Skin So Soft bubble bath(shower gift)
    1 pineapple exfoliating oil treatment(gift)

    This all fits into 2 slim underbed boxes and, not counting the gifts, cost me less than $10. Most was free or better than free. I definately need to stop picking up free toothbrushes! Unless they pay me to buy them....

    That's impressive!

    I'm afraid to look at mine. It takes up the entire bathroom closet (two deep shelves are packed full). I know I ought to. For now I'm just trying not to add to it unless the products are free, or better than free.

    I'll post later if I get brave enough to count.

    (Right offhand, I can tell you there are 10 full size deodorants in front! Not free, but very very cheap, because my DH and I only use specific kinds so I stocked up on recent sales combined with good coupons.)

    My stockpile is really big on H&B items too! I packed most of them (except what I think we will use this month and next) since hopefully we are moving in July. So, can't list them. But have tons of freebies ~ toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, deodorant, baby wash, baby shampoo, various samples . . . love going to my "store" to pick something out when needed.

    Not sure what is in mine. I did just sell some shampoo and body wash that I got dirt cheap or free. I had a dove shampoo/conditoner set that I paid 84 cents for and they paid 2.00 for. Plus some body soap I know I got free and they paid another 2.00 for. I am only a family of 2 so when I get a good pile going I sell it. Next year I am going to put half of it into a rummage sale.

    Oh my! I don't really consciously stockpile H&B, but I seem to have a fair bit anyways...

    3 tubes toothpaste
    6 bars soap
    24 rolls TP
    3 pkgs. dental floss (free from dentist)
    1 bulk jug shampoo
    1 bulk jug conditioner
    multiple toothbrushes (also free from dentist)
    2 pkgs. Reactine
    2 bottles echinacea
    3 bottles baby powder
    3 bottles antiseptic!
    lots of Fishermen's Friend extra-strength lozenges
    2 pkgs Q-tips
    6 pkgs. hand cream for dry skin
    30 disposable razors (enough for 30 years for me!)
    2 pkg. cotton balls
    2 pkg. epsom salts
    8 pkgs. feminine products

    We don't use a lot of the other products other people do due to allergies/sensitivities. And I don't wear make-up. No need to stockpile anything else really.

    I'm only counting unopened items...the three bottles of half-used conditioner, etc, in the shower currently don't count...

    All items are full size unless noted otherwise.

    -20+ rolls toilet paper
    -12 bars soap
    -6 trial size cans of shaving cream
    -86 maxi pads
    -11 deodorants
    -over 15 packs of diapers and pull-ups
    -9 baby wash/baby shampoo/baby lotion
    -3 full size body wash
    -2 full size shaving cream
    -3 full size toothpaste
    -4 sample toothpaste tubes
    -1 toddler toothpaste
    -1 box of qtips safety swabs
    -3 rolls of floss
    -6 toothbrushes, adult and toddler size
    -1 reach flosser
    -7 full size shampoos
    -2 full size conditioners
    -9 samples of shampoo, conditioner, etc.
    -1 powder
    -1 blush
    -6 mascaras
    -10 bars of B&BW bath soap
    -2 bottles face wash
    -1 bottle face moisturizer
    -4 disposable razors

    Like I said, this doesn't include all the opened stuff currently in use, or the half dozen bottles of lotion in a basket on my bathroom counter. I'm working on using all the opened stuff first before I open anything else!

    You know, I don't know about anyone else, but this thread has made me aware of how much stuff I actually have that I need to go through. Thanks for starting it! I'm starting an H&B exile as of right now! No point cluttering up my house with more of this stuff. I have enough for a good long time...probably 3 months.

    I have to make myself stop bringing home free toothpaste! We have at least 12 full size tubes.
