YEAAAAAAAH!!!
Right after I went through all those Small Steps Paper Products, I went through every bottle, box, tube, tub & package of toiletries and OTC meds.
Then I set aside from the stash what I feel is a 2 Year Supply of each product.....2 yrs. of shampoo, 2 yrs. of deodorant, 2 yrs. of toothpaste....you get the idea.
Here is the upstairs linen closet....
I repurposed 3 clear pull-out drawers from a small file cabinet thingy. One bin for deodorants, one for dental products, one for OTC medicine-y things. There is space for one more bin on the shelf. I am waiting to find something I already have that I can repurpose to put there and put more items(band-aids, painkillers, etc.) I still need to label each of these bins in the coming week.
These are the supply for the kids for the next 2 yrs.
This shelf has a large repurposed rubbermaid container that holds their shampoos and body washes.
This repurposed container holds 2 yrs. supply of razor supplies, shaving cream, and something else I can't recall right now.lol These also need labeling so that when something runs out, everyone knows what container to look in to get more. The Family supply of soap is also in this container but everything else in these containers is for the children's use.
Since hubby & I have an ensuite bathroom off of our bedroom, I have boxed and organized everything(except for soap)that we will need in the way of HBAs in the next 2 years in our bathroom.
Two repurposed tubs & a shoebox needing labels still-dental supplies, shaving needs and deodorants.
Two shoeboxes(already labeled)with more toiletries. On top is the 1st aid supplies basket. In basket in front are assorted HBA/OTC meds in use.
Hair Coloring, lotions, etc. in boxes and separated items in bags on the floor awaiting more boxes.
And last but not least, under the sink are the cleaning supplies that are in use, all corralled in one place. The children also have a matching shoebox of cleaners under the sink in their bathroom.
It feel so nice to have this all completed and organized.
So what is in all these boxes??
Except for the Walgreen's shopping bag(which holds pasta) and the binders under that bag, all the stuff in these boxes/bags in these pictures is what is LEFTOVER after I pulling out 2 years of Toiletries/HBA products for my family! That's 18+boxes of stuff.
I knew my Title promised Stockpile Pictures but you'll just have to imagine what's in the boxes.lol
And THIS is AFTER I sold a boatload of items at my Garage Sale in July.
Gee....I feel kind of sheepish. I knew I was acquiring alot of toiletries(all for very little money)but I had no clue I had SO MUCH! I guess not having it organized and in one place all at once made it not seem like the massive amount it is.
I am a victim of my couponing success it seems.......
I really don't have room for all this....unless I want to take over someone's bedroom or something.lol
So I have loaded up 16 of those 18 boxes, along with some bags of food pulled from my grocery stockpile, into my car and bright & early tomorrow morning I'll be driving to the local Flea Market and try to sell off a bunch of this.
Wish me luck!!!
