Do You Buy Two And Use Both At The Same Time?

I buy two facial washes - one for the sink, one for the shower.
I also buy two deodorants - one for the shower, one for the dresser.
Last year, I was prescribed eye drops for dry eyes.
Now I realize I need two bottles - one for the dresser, one for the computer.
How about you?

I've never used facial washes but I'd never buy 2 just for the sake of keeping them in 2 places. I don't like clutter.
Also, and I know this is gonna sound strange for most, but this past year I got rid of everything, hair shampoo, deodorants, lotions, perfumes, soap. I shower with hot water only and end it with cold water. My hair and skin never looked better (I'm even growing my hair longer nowadays due to how healthy they are now and easy to comb).
And the weirdest part: even though I sweat a lot from my workouts and the occasional hot flushes / night sweats, I never smell bad now.
Oh when I think of all the money I've wasted over the 30+ years of my existence on things I didn't need.

Wow! It's not weird but a little surprising. How does it feel clean without all the lather to wash off? I don't like using sanitizer because nothing could give me the satisfaction of having to wash off lather from a soap. Only then things feel clean.

@sammyy hot water is more than enough to get rid of sweat, harmful bacteria and even smell (like after cooking something with garlic and onions for instance).
And cold water helps tighten the skin, close the pores and conditions the hair.
Honestly, this is the cleanest I've felt. Putting all those chemicals in my body made me have blackheads, oily skin, dry hair and body acne all my life. I even went to doctors and tried expensive creams and medication and nothing worked.
Then I started studying about the skin microbiome and how it's connected to the gut microbiome, and then somewhere in the middle I found a doctor who did an experiment of not showering for 5 years!
So I slowly switched all the soap, shampoo etc to organic, 100% natural products, but I was still having issues.
Once I switched to water only, I no longer had acne, my acne scars are slowly fading away, blackheads are gone, and my hair are the healthiest and silkiest they've been (not to mention I'm significantly saving money every month).

@merrybelle2021 - I have no mirrors in the computer room, so I keep the drops in the bathroom, in the medicine cabinet.

There's a mirror above the dresser.
There's also a mirror opposite the computer.

I used facial wash but I only buy one.
But I always buy hand liquid soap, one for the bathroom and one for the kitchen.

We still use bar soap in the bathroom sink, but we have liquid in the kitchen and outside (dirty kitchen).

I buy one such item and then forget to use it for months... My basic necessities are fulfilled and still I buy skincare and worry they expire before I could use it up. Hehe...

I usually only buy two of something if they come packaged that way or I forgot I already bought one.
