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.

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.

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

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.

See original post. Which reason why not?

Not buy it

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

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.

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

I buy multiple and store it.

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

I buy a lot and store. We have the space.

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.

Buy 1

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
