OK...whoever said their 'cubourd runneth over" well...my apartment 'runneth over" I am gonna have to divide with a couple o my daughters. ~~gr~~ I found the larges size of multi-grain cherrios on sale today...two for 4.00. I got FOUR! hav no place to put them. Is that foolish, or what? The doctor told me yesterday that my LDL cholesterol is 137...should be 70. Total chelesterol was 240. This has been going on for months. He flat said "you are gonna have a heart attack" I also got two boxes of quick cook oatmeal,thought i'd eat it every morning and see if it helps. I also found the good brand (Del-Monte) peaches on sale. Because the fresh ones are in. The code was good on them...so I got six. I also stocked up on my vitamins and supplements for a year, and the 81 mg. asperin that I take every day. Then on leaving out...I saw in toiletries..the large four bar pack of Olay bath soap, unscented, for sensitive skin.I know it has been discontinued...for the liquid body wash) so, I got 4 packs of it. But at 3.30 for four large bars. I like soap. I also use some body wash, or body splash but I still like soap! So I checked out at 65.32 and thought that was good for all I got. I have 12 rolls of charmin TT...now my bathroom holds about four. So, here comes you a laugh...I emptied two of my dresser drawers of sweaters.Managed to get the sweaters in two plastic bags, to crowd my closets even more. Do any of you have the first blonde finished, French provincial bedroom suite that was made? Solid oak under that finish...and the drawers are very big, and deep.now mine holds food!!! I am in walking distance, (f I had to walk) to Walmart and a dollar store plus other things. I don't think I will get anything else because I have no place to put it. My kitchen has all the food stuffs I am using. Stella

You sound like me before I moved into my apt. When I lived in my mobile home I would stock up on good sales. When I was living in central Oregon and was getting my house ready to sell, John's nephew re-did my bathroom cabinets for me. Whenever I would find toilet paper on sale I would buy one or two packages so I had several packages in my cupboard. When Kenny came to work on that cabinet he saw all my toilet paper and asked me about it. This was after my husband died so here was all this tp and just me living there. I told him I bought it so I wouldn't run out and have to pay full price for some. Here, I don't have room to store any extra so I just buy one large package at a time. When the year 2000 and Y2 was coming close and all the talk of possible food shortages being real, I bought up cans of soup, and meat. I stored everything in that 3rd bedroom. Then when nothing happened, I had a lot of food to be eaten up.
