I haven’t been to the store in one month and today I stocked up for the next month. I am really working hard on only going to the grocery store once a month and I was successful this month!

  1. Isnt it sad that you have to explain why you buy more than one item. People are horrible. I was brought up that if you had the extra funds, you “stocked up” on certain products and toilet paper was always one we bought a lot of.

  2. It was interesting to hear your reasoning for freezing bread. I love to bake bread. Over the years I've collected a handful of favorite recipes. But I can't eat a loaf of bread before it gets stale. So more often than not I buy bread. As unhealthy as it might be the preservatives they add mean I can finish the loaf before its stale. (4:08)

  3. The way I see it is that hoarding is the continuing accumulation of large amounts of stuff that seldom or never gets used. The amounts stored are unreasonable and may require unreasonable adaptations to one's home for storage. If there are shelves in every room running above doors and windows and they're all full of toilet paper, that's hoarding.

    Then there's the question of actual usefulness. Hoarders often keep things like old newspapers and empty shampoo bottles.

    I've watched many episodes of a British TV series where people with obsessive-compulsive cleaning disorder are matched with hoarders and given a few days to clean the house. A public event is held on the day after the cleaning period. What I've noticed is that both groups have extreme distortions of value perception. In one episode, an OCD cleaner threw genuine Chippendale chairs out of an upper window into on a skip. I saw another cleaner try to discard an antique mirror in a beaten silver frame.

    To the OCD person, a Chippendale chair or antique mirror have as little value as a torn plastic bag or empty shampoo bottle. To the hoarder, a torn plastic bag or empty shampoo bottle has as much value as a Chippendale chair or antique silver mirror.

    My husband describes himself as a borderline hoarder. From my viewpoint, he crossed the border a long long time ago! At one point, we had a 44 gallon drum full of empty yogurt containers and another full of old plastic bags. It took several years of gentle reasoning by me before he could stop adding to the hoard. One day he suddenly decided of his own volition that we would never use these and started putting them into the recycling. Yesterday he started working on his stash of flattened cardboard boxes….he has a passion for boxes…whenever we went to Costco he'd gather several more. As we're now getting into
    turning our tiny backyard into a food garden, there are uses for this flattened cardboard. It makes excellent sheet mulch. It can also be shredded and added to the compost bins.

    Hoarders have to have a legitimate outlet for their need to accumulate if they are to succeed long term in gaining control. My husband is now getting into storing food and water, after years of poohpoohing my pantry. He's actually managing to rein himself in because he's seen that we have limited legitimate storage space!

    I don't describe myself as a prepper because there are too many negative connotations. I have chronic anxiety that is greatly eased by orderly provision of actual needs. I set my comfort level at 6 months worth of supplies. We're getting very close, adding a little here and there. This also satisfies my husband's need to accumulate, because there are constant small wins and always something to look forward to and look out for.

    As is to be expected, we have some tension over actually using our supplies! I came across an idea that both of us like: every week, go into the pantry with a box or basket, and draw items from the stocks. Use them, and replace what you took out. This idea makes me happy because we wouldn't be wasting and our sticks would be rotated; for my husband, this requires constant small replenishments so he can satisfy his urge to hunt and gather.

    This is my viewpoint and my experience. Other people have equally valid opinions and experiences to offer!

  4. how do you accidently buy something, you are able to VIEW your purchases BEFORE the final click on the purchase. so you would see something that you would not normally buy and delete it before you buy your items

  5. I know, the toilet paper crisis was real and real pain in the arse, but it’s just so ridiculous that it’s gotten to a point, where one feels like needing to explain themselves for purchasing two packs of toilet paper and even snapping a picture of the stock in store to prove they are not hoarding 😀 I never understood the craze to begin with. I mean, yeah, running out of toilet paper sucks, but if I am scared that the shops will close for an unforseeable time period, I would be worrying much more about running out of other important things such as food or meds 😀

  6. There is nothing wrong with buying extra tp. Because our family had backup tp due to my couponing phase I went through, we were one less family panic buying when c19 hit. Think of it that way. If you're prepared, you're one less family that will be panic buying.

  7. I am so jealous you can buy large blocks of Tillamook cheese.
    I love their ice cream.
    I thought I was the only one who used vodka in their pie crusts.
    Have you tried flavored vodka in the crusts?
    Carmel flavored vodka for apple pie is delicious.
