anymore of the following items:

Shampoo (I have at least 12 bottles)
Conditioner (Have at least 12 bottles)
Baby Wash (Have about 20 bottles! And My kids aren't babies anymore!)
Body Wash (I have about 15 bottles I didn't know I had!)
Mouthwash (I have about 10 bottles and some are the LARGE bottles)
or Panty Liners (I still have about 15 boxes I bought a couple years ago!)
Laundry Detergent (I have about 20 bottles right now and some sheets!)
Air Freshner (I have like 12 bottles/cans)

The only items that expired were bbq sauce and salad dressing! So I'm not going to buy more than 4 of these at a time!

It's amazing how much of this stuff was just shoved in the back of the pantry! Of course now... if I get it FREE it's not buying it! LOL I know it's a sickness! But at least if it's free I can donate it or give it to someone right away. No more holding onto more of this stuff! I will not spend anymore of my hard earned money on stuff I might not use! I'm going to start carrying around a list to remind me!

I would add bar soap to the list, but I'm still working on a current deal that will have me set for years! I'll be sharing it with some family as well!

Every three months I do a major cupboard cleaning and rotate the back stuff to the front. That way nothing can expire. Anything I have too much of I can donate right then (or this time of the year I actually stockpile for a spring yard sale, so it would be for that).

It's only really free if I can use it, help someone else with it, or help my family. Otherwise it takes over and my space is worth something too. :0)

I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.

Although I only have a few things a week that I have to have the deals on. Looking forward to the Jimmy D-light sandwiches B1G1F at Publix starting Thursday And I have a ton of CVS deals to do this week still! I bought about $240 worth of items for $58 at CVS this weekend, but it's all stuff we use on a regular basis -- Tissues, Cottonelle Wipes, Electrasol Dish Detergent, Pepsi, Cereal, Hair color, etc.

I'm also making sure I get rainchecks on any deals that the store if out of and is super cheap! Now I just have to remember to use them all! LOL

The true test is going to come when the things I shouldn't be buying go on sale! LOL

I am at the point that I can't shop until we eat what we have already! So it's forcing me to cook meals at home
