The cupboard under the sink - aggghhhhh!

I am a product of the bogof generation and like Biglouis, I forget I already had various cleaners etc. Same now as coolgran and helped by the de-cluttering thread, I resolved not to buy any more until the last one was almost finished.

I am not there yet but spaces are slowly appearing, I just have to get through all the bulk buying I did of bio D and perhaps today I will refill the toilet cleaning containers. Don`t mention toilet rolls either, I accumulated them for years before covid

Cotton dishcloths, I bought stacks of them from lakeland, on offer again and I feel like adding to the one star reviews, so I don`t use them but there they sit in a pile, they have to go, not fit for purpose. I could find more stuff but bit by bit works best for me

I have tried very hard not to buy duplicate items since clearing my father's house and realised the extent to which he had been doing it! He didn't have dementia but can't have ever checked if he'd got an item before buying another. I was shocked when I discovered the quantity of stuff in the kitchen cupboards - then discovered there was an overflow cupboard in another room!

We have had bathroom and en-suite re designed and built every room in our house is now a storage space for house hold products. Anything related to cleaning and personal hygiene as I obviously have bought in bulk any products we favour and use.
The kitchen sink hasn’t even been looked at yet. But the good news is I went shopping to bulk buy storage baskets tubs etc. I will keep what I know we will use and put the rest of the stuff in charity boxes which I am assured will be used. It’s a start anyway…

ocean my .... cleaning
duplicated..... duplicates
Apologies for predictive text and poor proof reading.

I have a pantry under the stairs where I store ocean my products. Also under the sink. The cupboard in the main bathroom and the cupboard in the toilet cloakroom.
I have duplicated of my duplicates. The same goes for toothpaste, soaps, shampoo, body washes, deodorants, conditioner s, wipes, tissues etc etc. There is a box of duplicated toiletries in the coat cupboard on the landing.
For about 6 months I have been on a mission to buy nothing until I open the last bottle. I'm using shampoo I'm not so keen on as shower gel. DH is a bar of soap man and so I'm using his gifts of shower gel.
At last I can see the progress. I feel uplifted and unburdened.
