To consficate Dh's debit and credit cards due to fuckery that goes beyond the spoon kind?

[HoneyDragon]

Seriously, how do I stop him buying toilet roll?

Yes but did he at the same time manage to forget te one thing on the list that you said was vital to remember?

LOL, this is like my dream!!! You can never have enough toilet paper!

He must have been traumatized at a young age by lack of toilet rolls and now he's compensating for it. Poor Poor man.

Omg I think you may have accidentally married my perfect man. Mines runs very close to the bone (or the bum on this one!) so you are welcome to him! Swap?

My dh goes mental in Costco too.

Our garage is full of loo roll, dishwasher tablets and washing powder type paraphernalia.

My DH does this with wine

We have enough Sauvignon blanc to see us through any kind of apocalypse. Every time he notices the (tiny) wine rack is empty (only because I haven't replenished it from our vast stocks) he orders another case. Even though we have boxes of it in the garage and hidden in various cupboards around the house.

It's annoying, but on the plus side I'm always prepared for social events

I recognised it as costco loo roll straight away when it was on offer the other week I bought 2 giant packs - I have a fiesta and it doesn't fit in the boot so has to go on the back seat!

Love to bulk buy stuff there like loo roll, cleaning stuff, etc, keep the excess in the garage and just go shopping in there when we run out. Means the weekly shop is quicker and smaller too as only buying food.

Well I know where I'll be sitting out the apocalypse. Legs' garage!

this has made my day and is infinitely better than sitting on the toilet for 15 mins whilst you scream for a child, ask them to go to the shop, they argue about whos turn it is, whilst your arse goes numb, then wait a further 10 mins for said child to return from the shop by which point your arse has dried on its own

But it must be heartening to know that in the event of an apocalypse, amongst the fears of overcoming our new bovine overlords, preserving the human race or running out of food/water/medical supplies, you'll never have to worry about wiping your arse. Or blowing your nose, in a pinch.

I have 6 jars of instant coffee. They were on offer in Sainsburys (I don't go to Costco) they had good dates on. What's the problem? As a bloke maybe it is a common trait to stockpile things on occasion.

My stepdad does it with

Both DH and I do it, so we are both as bad as each other. The downside is that all delivery people must hate us.

I just about manage to stop myself, although looking at my food cupboard, I have about 20 tins of tuna. Can't help it!

I had some relatives who used to stockpile loo roll, cornflakes and ribena. One bedroom was entirely dedicated to this stuff.

Lord - ha ha ha!!!

DH is another shower gel hoarder. I calculated last week that we have enough to last us for 4 years. Then Original Source was on offer again so he came home with another 4 bottles...

Dh has a thing of buying chicken nuggets and eggs everytime he goes shopping

Went through the cupboards and fridge today.

We've got about 20 odd eggs and 5 bags of chicken nuggets.

We have eggs maybe once a week for a roast dinner and maybe a fry up if we fancy it. We have chicken nuggets maybe once every 2 weeks.

Stop buying them!!

Wow you will be laughing if you get a tummy bug, your sorted mate

It's a man thing.
My DF had a thing about dishwasher tablets. There was just him and my DM with a very small dishwasher which they probably ran every couple of days don't get me started on the fact he washed the dishes in the sink before putting them in the dishwasher.
Since my DF died just over 2 years ago, I have been replenishing my own supplies from his stock as DM didn't use the dishwasher. I am now in the process of clearing the house completely - there are still 7 boxes of 70+ tablets left. Why, just why?

I do this! Its my way of prepping for slow months with work. I got into the habit of doing it when I was on benefits. I'd buy an extra item or two and store them so if my benefits stopped for some reason - they always did - I wouldn't have to panic about the basics.

Now I have enough dried and canned foods to keep me going for 3 mths at a time. It really isn't that much more tbh and it has gotten me out of some pickles including waiting for tax credits - paid monthly - when work dried up.

My OH is getting used to it and with him losing his job (we don't live together) I was able to give him a box of supplies without it impacting on my very tight finances too.

We get the same toilet rolls from Costco --when they are on offer- but keep the bulk of them up in the loft and just get a pack down as needed. I like his stacking method

Is your DH Honey?

I am all for bulk buying, I like bulk buying. It saves money, it makes sense. But dropping down to the last sixty toilet rolls is not the point you think 'ooer better shock up on more toilet roll".

He also asked me if we had dishwasher tablets, because he is a wonderful man who knows I love Costo dishwasher pods above all others. I said no ad I'd just opened a pack of 110. He came home with another 110 because "it's good to keep on top of things" He goes to Costco every four weeks on the dot. We would have to run the dishwasher at least four times a fucking day to run out.

The food bank regularly gets donations of soup because he simply can't control himself when tins are on offer.

He's batshit.

Oh and Tupperware in Aldi and Lidl. One day the elaborate storage system will fail and someone will have to dig me out of a pile of lids

Tupperware ffs.

Hey, it's not just toilet roll - it's doing double duty as boiler insulation.

Don't tell him that though, as he'll probably just buy more paper products so he can cover the other sides of the boiler...

Oh God! I thought my DH was bad but this is case of 'there's always someone worse off' if I ever saw one!

I reckon if I ever leave him (and am sorely tempted at times!) his entire house would look like that and, in the event of a zombie apocalpse, he 'd be able to keep a small town supplied with baked beans, soup, toothpaste, bog roll and (wierdly) cotton buds for several years!
