Are you still using up an item you purchased from a "warehouse" club years ago?

I still have a GIGANTIC box of plastic wrap. I hermetically seal everything when we take it to someone's house (wrapped 3-4 times around), and I STILL have tons more left. I bought the box in 2009 to wrap over newspaper wrapped items when I was packing boxes for a move. I think it regenerates at night, LOL! I will never buy this again as it takes up a ton of room in the drawer.

I bought disposable cups and lids. Best I can remember, I bought them in 2005. I have hardly dented the box. I'd need to make coffee for 200 of my closest friends to put a good dent in the box. {#emotions_dlg.lol}

No. We go through paper towels and TP faster than I'd like for two people. Lol!

A very large box of straws individually wrapped in paper. I think it was maybe 2000 straws. I use one with my smoothie and with my sons Carnation milk shakes. I don't think we'll ever use them all up. Maybe it was 5000. haha I keep them on one of those large shelving units in the garage with all our cases of water etc. Last time I grabbed a handful to re-stock the cabinet in the house . . . it looked like they were about 3/5ths gone . . .

I have enough Q-tips to last us until we die.

We had a lot a paper goods and general supplies from warehouse stores, stored in our basement. When Sandy visited us she used up everything. I have not returned to one of these stores. I am not over-stocking anything ever again.
