Germs.
Ignorance.
Regular light bulbs. I go through about 1 a year, and I have 2 Costco sized packs of them from a previous house. My current house is almost entirely fluorescent fixtures.
Yarn. Definitely yarn, since I buy it faster than I can knit it.
Sex appeal and charisma
Cats.
Money.
(Assuming I die in about seven minutes.)
Books. I buy them a lot faster than I can read them.
Fabric. Ditto. Every time I use up a piece in my stash, I have to go to the fabric store for a zip or thread or buttons and walk out with three or four new lengths of fabric.
I am glad to know someone else thought changing the blade more often than yearly made sense! I have the remains of a 100 count box of blades but rememeber to keep them in the protective wrap - they get rusty.
so far as I know we don’t have a lifetime worth of anything - something is always running out or missing…but I have a teenage black hole drifting aroound the place. :rolleyes:
At my current rate of consumption, I buy three projects’ worth of yarn for every one I actually finish. While I am not yet ‘Sable’*, I’m well on my way.
*Stash acquired beyond life expectancy
Ditto for books. There are certainly worse vices, but cocaine wouldn’t take up so much space either.
In 1970, my dad decided to remodel his basement himself, with sheet rock and paneling. Not the handiest guy, he must have over-estimated the number of nails required. He bought a HUGH big box of sheet rock nails, way, way more than the job required. As kids we nailed all kinds of things, using them wherever they would work, which wasn’t too often as they really aren’t good for much else, and just the other day I found a huge pile of them in a tool box, several hundred of them and I had to laugh.
I’m interested in that - how do you intend to preserve them - I read somewhere that shoes will take a “set” if not worn, and possibly crack/separate due to glues or adhesives drying out? Something to think about.
.22 long rifle.
My Dad got swept up in the Y2K scare.
Yeah, I really have no idea how to address that situation in the long term. I don’t know whether I ought to keep them wrapped up, or what. Maybe GrizzRich knows how they should be cared for?
Honestly, at the time I bought the shoes, I was pretty sure I’d be dead before any canvas/rubber/adhesive deterioration started to set in. This may not turn out to be the case though, so I suppose I should start planning ahead.
Cinnamon. Yep, the spice. McCormick brand, no less. Over thirty years ago,* I found one-pound containers improperly marked at $1.00. I suspect they should have been $10.00. Not being proud, I purchased four. A bargain is a bargain is a bargain. I still have two and a half containers left. We will NEVER run out of cinnamon.** It’s a secure feeling.
*I know it was pre-1977 because I had the cinnamon when I moved across country before the kids were born.
**Well, I suppose I could run out. But at the current rate, I’ve got another 50 years worth, which would make me 107. Maybe I should stock up?
Mach 3 Turbo razor blades. When the 5-bladed razors started coming out, I knew they’d be taking the Mach-3 (which I love) off the shelves, so I bought up several packs. At the rate I go through them, my supply should last a few years at least.
Hawaiian Tropic Ozone SPF70 Sunscreen. A good coating of this stuff will leave me with just a very slight tan after seven or eight hours of cycling. Considering how badly I’d burn without it, I bought a huge supply to ensure I’d never run out.
Bic mechanical pencils with .7mm lead…I am constantly finding unopened packs of them mixed in with everything else I own. I don’t remember buying a pack in years, so I have no idea where they’ve all come from. I assume I have a mechanical pencil fairy that loves me very much.
Ironically I have a lifetime supply of liquid Sweet’n Low, but for me that’s two bottles that has been in my cabinet for three years.
I have a lifetime supply of Mach 3 razors. Once I turned 18 I was getting free Mach 3s everywhere I turned. I can’t even begin to tell you where they came from, except for the one Gilette sent in the mail. I must’ve gotten the other ones at college football games or something. Anyway, I use an electric razor, so they’ll all sit around unused.
Um, you know… If you’re looking to clear some space I’ve got a place outside Jefferson that is tragically low on .22 right now 
Another useful word to add to my personal lexicon.
