How many have you been guilty of?

[OU812]

Spices and meat are the only ones I'm guilty of.  ::)

[FLBentRider]

I would contest a lot of that, for singles sure, but not families.

paper towels and toilet paper especially...

For a family of six - Sams IS the grocery store!

I would like to add chocolate chips to that list too.
We bought a big bag at Costco once and we just kept scooping them out as a snack and I never made one cookie from them.  :D
That's a lot of chocolate and calories.

My house is too small to buy anything in bulk. The closest I come is the paper towel thing, but only 2 six packs. Oh, I guess that brings something else to mind.

For me it's spices.  They're not really bulk but I'm sure I have some jars that are ten years old.  Time to clean 'em out.

paper towels and toilet paper especially...

I'm single and buy paper towels, toilet paper and meats in bulk.  I wouldn't do it any other way.  But, I have a large enough home that I have loads of cabinets, closets, 3 car garage, laundry room, etc...  I also have two fridges and a freezer.... so space isn't an issue for me. I enjoy entertaining friends so things go more quickly than you'd expect for a single guy. Oh.... I'm definitely "guilty" of the candy  :)

[ArnieM]

OK DM, so when can I come over  ???  ;D

[DarqMan]

You're welcome anytime my friend.  I'm about 5 hours up the road from ya....

[DarqMan]

Ooops, I'm 5 hours up the road from CRG... You're welcome too ArnieM but it's a bit of a drive from you I think :-)

I don't care what they say...
If I ain't got 100lbs of spice, 100 rolls of paper towels, and 100 rolls of toilet paper on hand, I get all goofy...
You know... Like worse than usual...

I know for a fact he has had every bit of a 40 pound bag of white rice stashed in his pantry, many a time...
