To ask how often you buy these products?

[Statsworry1]

Off the back of the food shopping thread I’m genuinely wondering, is there something wrong with me? 😂😅
How often do you buy things like toothpaste shampoo, washing powder?
I feel like I don’t even buy these things once a month. I moved into my current house exactly a year ago and since then I have bought three boxes of washing powder. I don’t take it easy with washing. Toothpaste, I probably buy once every 1-2 months. And shampoo could last me definitely two months. This is not me trying to keep things as long as possible by the way.

We buy shampoo and conditioner in bulk and have two deliveries a year of 4 of each bottle at 500ML so that’s 8 of each a year for two of us. It’s 8.50 per bottle. In supermarkets they tend to sell only 250ML and the equivalent would be 12.50 for 500ML.

We buy the largest size washing powder and I use a half measure, it’s completely fine and we buy around 4 per year. I am a great believer in scruffs, we keep a set of grubby clothes for hiking and gardening and wear a few times. I grew up washing clothes by hand, I’m a great believer in spot cleaning. I wore a jumper for the second time and spilt a little dinner down it. That’s getting rubbed with the dishcloth. I wear jeans all week.

Toothpaste needs no more than a pea size so last ages, unsure how often I buy.

I cut the tube in half and scrape out every bit!

@muddyford Now this is a tip I love!

I bulk buy 4 boxes of washing powder once a year.
Bulk buy shampoo/conditioners/toothpaste /shower gel/ hand soap etc when on offer they probably last 6 months at a time.

Toothpaste seems to go quite quickly .
I buy 8/10 bars of soap at a time and they last about 6 months .
Shampoo used to last me 3 months the but I have taken to buying a big bottle and decanting now so it is going to last about 9 months I think.
I buy 2 boxes of washing powder at a time and they last 3 months or so.
Only 2 of us using g these products most of the time apart from soap.
