Socks. Pens. Notebooks (I hardly even use them for anything). Socks. More socks. Can’t have too many socks! I was actually going to get some today, but the roads were icy this morning and I haven’t got the energy now.
I believe the official term for the situation above is, “Close, but not quite enough. Two or three more trips should do it.”
I’m really bad about getting Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken soup while I’m at the store. I get it every time I’m there, and I get a lot of it. Then the one time I’m at the store and I say to myself “I don’t need any. I have plenty.” I get home and we are out.
I also seem to do this with macaroni noodles, lasagna noodles, campanelle noodles, and spaghetti/linguine noodles. I buy tons of that stuff.
Astroglide.
YMMV, but I need at least 3 bottles to get me through the rest of my sexually-active years. So I have much more than I need. Just in case they stop making it. Or it has an expiration date. Or I get really kinky.

On the other hand, I have received so much lotion/body wash/shower gel as gifts that I need never buy another Bath & Body Works item again in my lifetime.
Iced tea. I lived on that stuff when I was in Canada. Regina water is nasty. Now I imbibe every so often. Ahhh memories…
Also, bread.
Oh you are SO right!! I tend to recycle most B&BW products that I get for christmas into birthday gifts for others through out the year!!
But Swampbear, chipotle chiles in condensed sweetened milk are so nummy! And you know everything would be super spiffy clean… So we dine at 8, yes?
