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

My dream is a big pantry with prepper-level quantities of products, and only having to restock every couple of years.

The reality is six packs of deodorant stacked on top of the bathroom cupboard and a 24 pack of loo roll in the shed.

Run out. Re-stock. We don't need all this shit we fill our houses with.

Not toiletries, I buy as needed, ditto laundry detergent.

Cleaning stuff, however…. I have a cupboard jammed full of all sorts. Maybe it’s to subconsciously kid myself that I do a lot of housework, when I bloody hate it….

I used to. But I married someone who loaths clutter and disorganization and we have a whole pack of kids, so I'm reformed. I realized that I'm not naturally a super organized person and I'm not great at maintaining orderly stocks or remembering what I have stashed, so the best choice for me is to be fairly brutal about getting rid of things. Once I stopped hanging on to things I came to value the extra space and ease of finding things more, and realized that extra clutter from "just in case I maybe need it" items and buying in bulk actually resulted in more waste for me, not less.

I have a shelf in the shower that fits two shampoos/conditioners and two bodywashes and that's it; I don't allow the collection to expand, so if I decide I dislike a bottle enough to get something new then I toss the old one to make room. I have a small drawer tray each for makeup, skin care and hair supplies and when one is full I either stop buying or weed out old stuff. I buy smaller bottles even if it's a higher price per unit because I know I tend to get bored and ultimately it's less wasteful to pay a little more up front and not end up with leftovers I don't want to use. We don't ever stock more than 3 months of consumables (most cleaning products and toiletries lose quality as they age anyways) and for most items one spare is plenty. If something isn't a daily use item and we can replace it within the day then there likely isn't a need to keep spares at all.

Toilet roll and nappies are the exception. Always have more of those than you think you need.

I buy in bulk when on offer then use it up.

I used to live in the middle of nowhere, so for 25 years I had to stock up. I’m slowly learning to not do that, I have shops I can just nip into.
I made a pledge this year, to use everything I have under the sink before I go it and buy more. I have 3 bottles of washing up liquid, ffs, I only wash by hand 2 water bottles, everything else goes in the dishwasher! So rather than buying a surface cleaner for the countertops, I’ll use washing up liquid on a cloth then rinse. Let’s see if I can do this before I crack and buy an antibacterial surface spray 😂😂😂

Cleaning products: a vast array of products that are not used very often, including the biggest collection of cleaning cloths and dusters imaginable ...
I like shopping (or rather wandering around town looking at the few shops we have left) and can always justify buying 'useful' things.
Toiletries: not quite as bad, but how much body lotion does one person who rarely applies it need? I am a sucker for a special offer especially in M&S (those deliciously perfumed bergamot bath and shower products that were in a January sale over a year ago), and lovely soaps, my clothes drawers are full of them.

I stock up when prices are cheap (discontinued) and when stuff is on special offer. For most things I’d have one on the go and a spare. Once you open the spare put another on the list.

I have no idea where people get coupons from? I have FOMO now.

I get it as I need it and just keep the next one needed in.

Same, stockpile massively when products are on offer. Hate running out and having to pay full price for something. Got cupboards full of Kerastase shampoo, moisturiser, make up remover etc. in the bathroom and a garden shed full of washing liquid, softener and dishwasher tablets, oh and wine.

I bought these Monday shampoo and conditioners last year, mainly because I loved the bottles and they look great in my uncluttered bathroom. The product was nothing special so I refill with my favourites, Vosene shampoo and Pantene smooth and sleek conditioner.

I used to keep a stock and then I realised the sheer volumes meant I needed more storage and I struggled so I completely whittled it down and I now only get it as and when.

That said I do take advantage of some things, like I have shit loads of toilet roll but I have a massive cupboard in the downstairs loo for that so it’s fine.

and I’ve accidentally ended up with too many dishwasher tablets due to Amazon subscribe and save but I’ve sorted that out.

I really wish I was the kind of person that could get to the last drops of a bottle,then buy more
However,I have enough soap to last me the next 4 years,washing powder the next year,cleaning sprays will last the next two,enough shampoo to last the next 18 months etc
I do it because I either see it on offer and I'm saving money or I can't bear to run out
I get it from my mother (thankfully that's the only way I take after her)
She once bought enough loo rolls to fill her massive attic-they lasted her,my father,2 of my brothers and guests/friends for almost five years
Her kitchen looks like a warehouse
I'm not that bad,but I am getting the jeebies as I have to remember to buy washing up liquid as we only have a full bottle left and I like to have at least two under the sink

1 in use, 1 spare usually. Maybe odd thing like bars soap I might have extra if on offer. But this is plenty that I never run out

I have a utility room wall of shelves full of cleaning stuff, it is covered in cobwebs.

Cleaning stuff I either replace when I get to 1/4 left. I too usually have stuff in individual bathrooms so not really need to stock up as I can usually find some if needed.
shampoo I stock up on so have 3 in stock as the one I used to use was discontinued and I had a hell if a tone finding something else suitable, I have a very sensitive scalp so can’t use just any product.
toothpaste I stock up on and toilet rolls.
I hate having too much stuff lying around so have found a nice balance of what I actually need to stock up on and what I can get as and when.

Yes I've a fair bit in. I have a shopping list on the fridge so if I get to the last of something I add that on to the next shop. Toothpaste, shampoo, etc I buy in bulk or some on subscriptions to save money, so often have more than we need.

The bathroom cabinet is full of half used and now unwanted things, I really need to give it a clear out.

My mum was never organised and would always run out of things we needed. I hated that. So in response I think I tend to err on the side of more.

We are blessed with quite a lot of storage so that enables me to keep plenty spares.

They are all the same things though - same toothpaste, same shower gel, same dishwasher tablets etc. Quite a lot of my items are refillable - e.g. hand wash, shower gel, kitchen spray. Either jumbo packs that I decant or the undiluted versions.

With hygiene products I buy in bulk from amazon (6 packs) and then when we're down to the last one I'll restock that item. So I never have a large bill as its dribs and drabs.
Dd has an issue with toilet rolls and we can't go below 8 rolls (that's about 4-6 weeks worth for us) so I buy 32 rolls when we get to that point. We've never run out, never stockpiled but it's a hangup from all the covid news.
Washing powder dc have allergies so I bulk buy the persil tablets 4 large boxes at a time. When I'm on my last I look for offers and buy.
Cleaning like one in reserve so once ones opened I order a new one (or will order sooner if on offer).

I buy more if i need it.

Way way way too much

Tiny open plan bungalow, not much storage. I shop in Lidl,so yesterday was 10% off day,so I do stock up on basics, toilet rolls, kitchen paper. I only use one particular shampoo and conditioner, which I usually get on Amazon. I have to use a prescription wash for eczema and DH has very dry skin only used one particular shower gel, which we decant into a big pump. All bathroom stuff lives in the bathroom cupboards. Now,my larders are another matter. My DD said Armageddon,she's making her way round to mine!

I buy new when I start the last one. If there's an offer I'll use it and stock up but never more than a couple of anything.

Cleaning stuff just one of each as the cleaner brings her own, I we use very little.
Toiletries one in use, one spare, once the spare goes into use, I buy a replacement.

Cleaning stuff I have multiples on the go because I'm lazy so I keep some in each bathroom and the kitchen and just clean each room when I'm using it. Top up when things run out but there's always something in one of the other rooms if desperate.

Toiletries usually just top as needed. Again, usually some somewhere if I run out e.g. kids bathroom, wash bag miniatures. Only thing I tend to keep a bit more of is loo roll, and some spare toothbrushes.
