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

I have two large plastic covered tubs of plastic ware, plates , cups and napkins. I store them in the garage and use them for large gatherings or when the power goes out.

Two things:

box of squares of wax paper; and,

a box of squares of aluminum foil.

Actually, there are 500 sheets in each of these and I cannot remember WHEN I bought them and it seems like they are lasting forever!! They are, however, INCREDIBLY useful and have made my life much simpler, so when they run out I will most likely purchase another box. I never knew these existed until I joined Sam's Club.

Eyeglass cleaners. I should list them in my Will. I have gotten through about 100. I think I may have purchased 1,000. It's a huge box.

I think you can use those for computer, tv screens as well as glasses.

I no longer have a membership to a warehouse store. And, no, I have no items left from previous purchases.

We have the set of two rolls of plastic wrap from Costco. Use it frequently. I think we purchased the set four years ago. We are still on roll number 1. If you can't take it with you in the end I guess someone will inherit the plastic wrap when we're gone. We have talked about this with each other. It's unbelievable.

I purchased a large bag of Kirkwood disposable razors right around the same time. I am almost 3/4 of the way through those.
