Do you have plenty of toiletries, cleaning and washing stuff in

I think people would be horrified if I posted my stock it saves me money though buying the way I do

When I open something I buy another.

I do keep lots of handwash though.

I live in a tiny house and aspire towards a more minimalist lifestyle (plus, there is absolutely NOWHERE to put stuff). So I only have the essentials, plus maybe the odd spare (except toilet rolls which I buy in packs of 18). The only stuff I have masses of spares of, is dog food. Because if I run out, she might eat me.

I have too much. I don't have fancy products. We probably have about 6 bottles of open shampoo in the house plus 2 kid ones. My husband is the main culprit, he never finishes things, always open a new one. I sort of try to finish the bottles but am lazy and go for the one that's just there. Same with cleaning products but I'm really trying to improve as it takes up so much cupboard space and is just wasteful and annoying.

I buy as I’m running out as otherwise things don’t get fully used up

When I run low, I buy months and months worth. But usually because I get huge bulk sizes. I run out or almost out before buying. Sometimes we have to run the shampoo or toothpaste between bathrooms for a week.

No, I don't stock pile anything at all. I find it very easy not to run out of essentials like toothpaste and toilet rolls, it doesn't take up any headspace. I seem to just notice when we're running low and remember to buy.

I try to have a spare bottle of cleaning things but sometimes forget and run out! I've a favourite shampoo so will buy a couple at a time, but don't have large amounts of cleaning products stocked.

I usually have an extra one or two of most things. I live just off a high street though so it's easy for me to shop around and get the best offers. I'm happy to make the extra effort, it saves money and I never get caught short.

I feel like the spirit of my MIL has entered Mumsnet! It used to be a family sport to count how many loo rolls she had stockpiled.

I've never been a stockpiler. I just buy what I need when I need it. I'm not a naturally organised and tidy person so the more stuff I have the more mess gets created. Plus, I live somewhere with plenty of shops on my doorstep.

Me too, especially wine🍷

I stock pile and have usually about 4 or 5 boxes of laundry tablets, fabric conditioner, toothpaste, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, cleaning sprays, a 48 pack of toilet rolls, plus an open pack, moist wipes, etc at any given time. I keep this stock on a set of shelves in the corner of my conservatory. My adult kids joke about Mum's shop but I don't care.

I am averse to clutter so try and be minimalist with the cleaning and toiletry stuff BUT my three young adults live with me so I am wading through all the bottles of crap they’re constantly buying. Like 37 (not kidding) bottles of stuff in the shower. Makes it so hard to clean.
When they ever move out I am going to have THREE things in the shower.

Did for a while but in the last year am miserable, topping up only when running out, trying to get back to actually stocking up instead!

I will buy my toiletries when they are on offer - I am fussy about my shampoos etc. so go from a dozen bottles of everything to almost zero.
Stuff for cleaning the house does not really register it is just cleaning stuff.

We buy catering sized containers of w/u liquid, laundry detergent, dishwasher tablets, bleach and cleaning fluid so usually have at least 6 months worth, and perhaps half a dozen bars of soap/shampoo bars.

I buy when I need to. What’s the point in sinking a load of money into things I won’t need for months.

Toiletries yes - I love buying the nice stuff and we have lots of bathroom storage space.

The rest is very minimal. We have a cleaner and she brings her own materials, so I have a bottle of spray/cream cleaner and that's it. Washing powder, we only use one very basic product as DS has bad eczema, so not much there at all.

I haven't bought soap in 5 years!
I picked up a Costco multi-pack of bar soap at the start of advice to wash hands more frequently and realised at home it had 16 bars in it 😂
It didn't get used so much as expected because within weeks there was nowhere to go and then by the time there was, touch points weren't found to be particularly high risk and we were long back to normal washing patterns.
But at least I've realised we've got an excess and haven't added to it. I think a 4 pack might be required by the end of this year when we're down to the last couple of spares. 😂

But generally I like a float of spares maintained at a storable level and keep it in that range so I don't run out (sod's law I'd forget or have some kind of disruption as I get to a last minute use/ replenishment). I don't use a massive range of toiletries/ household products which helps

I bulk buy toilet roll. We get through a lot.
Even at uni, I'd buy 9 packs for myself because I quickly learned that if I left one in the toilet, it would be gone within a couple of hours so I needed a stash.

I occasionally forget I restocked and end up with a surplus, but I don't buy for the sake of it, make impulse purchases of random things. It is stored in an organised way too, so under the sink, cleaning products are lined up by type so its easy to see what's there and I'm not buying what I just can't see.

I do a big shop at the start of each month, when I get paid, which covers cleaning supplies, toiletries and then my food staples (tins, treats, meat for the freezer, pasta etc). I buy enough for the month and general rule is when it’s gone it’s gone, as that’s how I budget. I don’t buy any more until next month unless we run out of something that’s an absolute necessity unexpectedly (eg, I could live without my conditioning hair mask or bubble bath for a week or so but if I ran out of shampoo that’s a different story). And things don’t usually all last a month, they’re usually going for longer, so we have a bit of a rotation going where one month I’ll by XYZ, and the next I’ll buy ABC as XYZ still have plenty left to last another month, and so on. I try not to have it that everything runs out at once as then I’ll have a big hit financially! That being said, it’s definitely on my list to go through out bathroom cupboards as we absolutely have a surplus of toiletries in there and I’m not even sure we know what’s in there 😂 likely from when there’s been offers on or we’ve switched up what we use .

I do a heavy shop run every couple of months and buy triples of household cleaners and sprays. Waitrose or Aldi.

Get through toiletries like a beast and never save them for treats, so there’s only a few bubble baths in the cupboard.

Sound rather clean, me <preens>

I’ve got subscriptions for washing capsules, softener, washing up liquid and spray cleaner and shampoo bars Cleared out years of part used bottles when I got a new kitchen. Soap I have a huge tin to keep all of them in. I will be clean till i snuff it. I stock up on other stuff when I go in Home Bargains. It is very liberating not to have to lug stuff home or chase deals on my favourite products.

I have 1 on the go, 1 as back up and when I start the back up one I buy another. I can’t be dealing with tons of bottles “just in case”

For shampoo and conditioner I have the big 5 litre bottles of Faith in Nature in the utility which I refill their metal pump bottles with. Same with washing up liquid as I use Miniml. Pretty much everything else I have one in use and one as a back up.

I don’t have a massive amount of cleaning products. M&S kitchen spray and bathroom spray. Bottle of Cif for deep cleaning. Nancy Birtwhistle’s pure magic, ecloths and I do use Mr Muscle drain stuff periodically.

Then laundry liquid and a tub of Vanish for school shirts.
