What are you like with your toiletries, cleaning and washing stuff? Have loads in or buy shower gel, washing up liquid and laundry stuff when down to about a 1/10th of a bottle left or 2 pods.

I have about 7 bottles of shampoo in as I have 6 bottles on the go as if I wash with the same shampoo wash after wash, my hair goes limp and loses shape. Even on holiday, I have two shampoos and alternate.

Remember about 6 years ago, my then workplace had a range review on anti-perspirants and I bought about 18-20 discontinued cans for 35p-70p each (under £10 for the lot) and they lasted me 2 years. Majority were the big cans
Cleaning and laundry stuff, I usually have 2-3 of bleach, WUP, laundry liquid.

I like to have one spare of everything. So I'll have my washing up liquid and then another new bottle in the larder.

I just did a shop for a month’s worth of cleaning products, shampoo etc. it saves me time to get it all in one go. I have bars of soap in reserve.

I just buy when we need more.

I just buy as I’m running out.

I tend to have something on the go, then 1 or 2 spares, more if the item is small.

I do a large housekeeping stock up at the beginning of January each year (and then again in June) so I have 5-6 months of everything
