And it’s something you use a lot of (like laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, cans of x-food), do you:
- buy a lot and stored at your house and use it when needed - buy a few - not buy it because you weren’t looking to buy it at that moment - buy one - not buy it because you don’t know enough about prices to know if it’s a good deal |

| Buy 1 or a few depending on price reduction and how long 1 would last. Usually buy up to 6 months for things like detergent etc. |

| I don't buy it unless I need it or might need it in the very short term. |

| I buy multiple and store it. |

| Buy a few and hope I remember I did before I see it on sale again and by even more. 🤣 |

| Prices aren't going to go down. They never do. If you know you'll use it and have the space, no reason not to. |

| I just buy a few. A lot of products go bad after time. |

| Not buy it |

See original post. Which reason why not? |

| I buy things like dishwasher pods, deodar, toothpaste or laundry detergent when they’re discounted at Costco. Beauty products too. I don’t stock up on food. |

What if it isn’t discounted at Costco but is elsewhere |

| I might buy 1, maybe 2 if I definitely already needed 1. I don't like to buy massive quantities of anything except costco sized packages of TP and paper towels, and I'd definitely only buy 1 of those at a time. |

My husband buys a lot and squirrels it away.
He has hoarding tendencies, and is tempted, even when it's a product that I have specifically told him not to buy (because we don't like it, or have stopped using, etc). Sometimes if I really insist, he registers that he can't keep buying the scrapey toilet paper or the paper towels that don't absorb. But after a while, the ADHD squirrel in his brain goes: "Ooh, nice price! What did she say about this product again? Oh well, too good to pass up!" And since he occupies all the space with his stuff, it means I can't buy my preferred products. Sometimes I've made him return some of it. |
