No, my storage space is limited.

Toilet paper....for some reason I like to have at least one extra giant Costco brand TP in my basement as back up!  Husband doesn't get it but he is ok with it LOL!

Also I kinda feel that way about my eyebrow pencil and foundation....I just got the trio set of YBF from HSN...so I have 3 extra right now....and 2 foundations....Revlon Colorstay just in case they cancel the shade!  

Oh and my face wash from Paula's choice....I do order on sale and get 4 or 5 so I only purchase every yr or more this way.  

As for other groceries ....not really for some reason nothing else I can think of sends a feeling of panic setting in that I don't have any left LOL!

Maybe we are related?  I do keep a stockpile of Costco TP.

Yes when I have CVS extra bucks and coupons on paper products, toothpaste and deodorant.  I do NOT want to run low on these things.  Maybe an extra vitamin or something like that.

I too am trying to get rid of excess items, so I am not doing that as much as I used to.  What will I stock upon? Ground beef (the GOOD stuff); frozen whole chickens; salmon; shrimp.  Those things we will use.   And we have a freezer in the garage.

Yes, I do but only on items that I know we use a lot of...cereal, ketchup, mustard, etc.

The coupons I see lately, ie, 25 cents off 2 items aren't worth clipping!

I do take advantage though of coupons I can use on BOGOs only if I'll use the product in a short period because I was shocked when I donated (during my kitchen remodel) 3 grocery bags of pantry canned goods & staples.  (None were expired but I bought on BOGO).

I don't stock up anymore.

NO...no longer buy excess and know exactly what is in my kitchen.  I don't want extras...I have one spare of highly used items in the cupboards.  I've extended my pantry and have shelves of plastic boxes labeled (my husband bought me a labeler) that says nuts, grains, seeds, etc.  So I can see at a glance if I'm low on anything.

 I prepare all of our food, really don't like to eat out so we do have a lot of produce and pantry items.   I'd have a grocery store if I bought multiples.  I'm working on minimizing not gathering.

With items with no expiration dates, and we use?  Why not is my motto, and the answer is Yes!

If I buy all the time, definitely.
