I want to see if I am overboard..

[Mothernature]

I have 130 toothbrushes and 107 packs of floss. I am adding 18 more to the mix in a few days.

How many do you have of each?

[taxchyk]

Many fewer than you! But I do wish I had more. I'd keepp about 60 of each in stock ideally, knowing that I could always grab a freebie or two to keep from completely depleting my supply and still make room for other deals.

I don't have nearly that many because I sold a bunch at my garage sale last for $1 each. I probably have 25+ now, which should be a year's supply for my family of 6.


As to whether or not you have too many, only you can say for sure. It depends a lot on how much storage space you have. Unless you have a ton of extra space, you might do well to sell or give away some of them so you have room for other stuff.

wow, maybe I have 25-30 toothbrushes

[TheWoman]

OP, I just looked at your public profile. If you really have 3 people in your family and you replace your toothbrush every 3 months you have enough toothbrushes to last 10.83 years. That might be just a bit overboard.

[luvmy3boys]

Whoa! About ten of each. But I just had a big yardsale. But I wouldn't keep that many in my sp unless I was going to sell/donate them. I just don't have the room and those things are akward to store. Right now they are in this little rack thing and it can't hold much.

[scentednights2002]

Wow! I have maybe 10 toothbrushes & about 15 tubes of toothpaste. I don't do floss. I don't bother to stockpile more because there are constant sales on these & they do expire.

I have about 15 toothbrushes and 5 spools of floss. I figure we are good for a 1-2 years, dh goes through toothbrushes like crazy.

[mmb1996]

well i say no to the overboard. It takes up little space and it never goes bad, plus its something everyone needs on a daily basis so if its free i would keep going. I wouldn't pay even 10 or 20 cents for them though unless you have a place you like to donate too. With kids we have charities at the school every year where they make shoeboxes for needy children, I always send in a big bag of toothbrushes and paste.

I've only been stockpiling for about 4 months and I don't have that much tooth stuff. Laundry soap on the other hand.......tons. But if you have room then it's not overboard. I think when you can't be in your house because of your stuff then it's overboard.
