    Peanut butter (Peter Pan) I got 20 some jars at the beginning of the year (when it was free AC) I gave 6 jars away thinking 14 jars oughta last a year we don't go thru that much. LOL! 'cept DH sees we have it and eats it like no tomorrow. I just made strawberry freezer jam and went to make a sandwich and we're down to the opened jars (another of DH's bad habits..we have 3 opened jars ack! ) I hoping I have a couple of jars hiding behind the cereal somewhere.

    I am hoping that our wipes collection lasts until DD is potty trained. I took advantage of the wipes deal at Target, and had a big stash. I am amazed that we are down to about 15-20 boxes now. Every time someone has a baby we give them two boxes and some other things as part of the gift. I had originally bought about 60 or so tubs. But, DD is going to the next room in daycare next week... and that's where they start potty training. So, here's keeping our fingers crossed...
    Oops... sorry - you exceeded the limit of my attention span!

    Bye Mom... I love you, and will miss ya. 4/5/11

    Betty Crocker Au Gratin Potatoes. We eat them regularly, and still have some! Peanut Butter also, I still had 3 left and my DH's friend gave him a 5-lb can the other day!

    Mine has to be toilet paper. We gave a bunch away thinking we had enough to last us. Boy was we wrong we are now done to our last package. And I cant find any good deals. So paying full price is going to kill me and so is my wife.

    Mine is certainly baby wipes. 3 years ago, there was a 2/1 and 1.50/1 ANY huggies item coupons that were out (blinkies) I stood for HOURS at several stores, getting all of them.
    Then, I special ordered huggies items at safeway (at the time, they were on sale 10/10) full size bodywashes, lotions, boxed disposable washcloths, diaper changing pads and travel baby wipes. I special ordered over 900 items that sale.
    At the same time, Fred Meyer (a kroger store) had tubs of huggies wipes for 1.99 each. I special ordered about 300 of them. I am almost out of wipes, 3 years later...

    I have bought the cleanteam wipes at Target since, but am not using them, as I want to finish the huggies ones first. I still have boxes of tubs in my storage unit!

    (of course, I have about 100 pkgs of cleanteam wipes, but they don't do well in the baby wipe warmer)

    So certainly, if I could do it again, I would buy about 200 or so of the huggies stuff, and use all the rest of the coupons on the tub wipes!!!


    (to the poster before, who bought 36 pkgs toilet paper....)

    the first time they did the scott's tp sale, I bought 8 cases. The second time, I bought another 7 cases. I have about 9 cases of toilet paper around my house, and just bought 128 pkgs of scotts 4roll mega... need some!!! lol

    Thank you. Currently, I'm not doing much trading, as my mental health has decompensated again, and I'm not doing too well. Thanks for understanding.

    Baby food. I had like 100 jars. DS #1 would eat 1 teaspoon, 2-3 times a day, so a jar every other day. DS #2 ate a jar every meal, 3 times a day. It was gone so quick, I ended up using my blender to puree regular food.

    I keep buying tons of the graduates meals, and he eats them faster than I can buy them and mail in the UPC's for more coupons.

    He knows where they are on the shelf and tells me "more soup, kind soup" (he means 'this kind of soup') He'll be 2-yo in 3 months.

    I haven't had to buy BBQ sauce in over a year, but I'm down to 2 or 3 now. I don't even know how many .75/1 Cattlemen's coupons that I traded for but I loved those 2/$3.00 sales with my double-able coupons. DH just rolled his eyes everytime I'd come home with more. I'm also not sure how many I gave away thinking that we'd never run out.

    I really need to find a killer deal on Heinz for my ketchup loving kid. He goes through a bottle of ketchup as quickly as my other son goes through a bottle of ranch dressing, which I am stocked up on!!

    Oh boy, where do I begin? Italian dressing, bbq sauce, diapers & wipes (which I thought we'd never run out of), Nature Valley granola cereal, and cans of tomatoes. We always use tomatoes. But all that free peanut butter I got last year? Still there.
