Yesterday i went shopping to bought my toiletries. Not like usual, i bought many soaps, detergents, toothpastes, shampoos etc, (maybe it can be used in a month). Since i remembered the day before my shampoo was out of stock when i really needed it. How sad. Than i put many toiletries as if im too worried my toiletries getting out of stock again. After home, lol my toiletries racks cannot keep it all, it cannot accomodate my shooping things. Then i think, is better to buy in a small amount but often, like my habit before. What about you? Do you prefer buy toiletries once in a big amount or few but often?

@HannahKusKus we have a pile of soap and toothpaste in the bathroom cabinet. But we take note of what to buy so it will not run out of stock.

Yes @alex good choice. For bathroom items we need many stock so we never out of stock when we need it. Its not funny when we already at bathroom to wash the hair.. but the shampoo is used up

Shopping every 2 weeks is also good choice... it is not too long to keep.. but not too fast for shopping outside . Thanks @m _audrey

It depends on what items too. Like food, I buy few but often because of their span. Other items for example soap, I can buy more but will buy it not often.

Yes mate. For food it is high risk if we buy in many stock. Be carefull for the ex date, sometimes we forget it.
