    Default What do you mean 'we are out of body wash'?

    I have been doing this coupon-gig since Feb. 10th, 2009. I have learned quite a few things along the way. One of which is that my family uses body wash, not soap. There are 3 of us that shower every day and my youngest who showers every other day. I have learned to hit EVERY body wash deal, within reason, in order to keep up with the demand. Things have been a little crazy lately and I have let down my guard on the body shower inventory. I have had stashes of men's body wash all over the house. In cupboards, boxes, cabinets, closets and a few emergency bottles in the garage. This evening I was informed that both bathrooms were "out of body wash". No problem! Let me go to one of the stashes around the house and grab one. Hmmm, the cupboards are emtpy, the boxes only have shaving cream, the cabinets have shampoo and razors and MY EMERGENCY BOTTLES IN THE GARAGE ARE GONE!!!!!

    Looks like my oldest son and husband are using my Nivea Orange Blossom body wash in the morning.

    Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)
    No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

    I'm in the same boat, only it was me that realized we're out of body wash... conditioner... toothpaste... qtips... razors... I'd just said in Java that I'm out of nearly everything H&B. But I haven't really done any stockpiling since Oct/Nov of last year, so I can't complain. But, now my food supply has been depleted and so is my H&B

    Going through it here too. I just stocked up on body wash a couple of weeks ago. Should get us through the next 8-12 months. Now the issue is foil, plastic wrap, paper towels and tp. With the lower coupon values and less than motivating sales I've been waiting for the stock up price that may not come. May need to adjust my buy price on a few things.

    I have the same problem. I have only been doing this for just over a year but having to pay for H&B is really putting me in a funk lol. I know I will still save with everything I have learned but I just haven't found free on much of anything in a long time I guess we all have to readjust our price points. It's funny when I first started I thought getting BW for 1.00 was wonderful but then I started getting it free and it will kill me to go back to 1.00 lol.

    I got so many body wash a few years ago I think I have over 5 years worth here. I just gave away 20+ bottles this weekend. I wish any of you lived closer to me you would be welcome to some of mine! I must have 60 bottles of men's body wash and it is just my DH using it. We go through more with 4 of us girls, but still I have so much of that, deodorant, toothpaste, all H&B, and I just stocked up on 2 years worth of shampoo and conditioner.
    I wish I had a CM'er here to shop with me!

    If any of ya'll need shampoo and have any $2 RR left, Walgreens has Suave shampoo for $1 and giving $2 RR/2 so free. Even without RR....50 cents a bottle. DH likes the Daily Clarifying so I stocked him up today. I am a little spoiled by all the Pantene and Herbal Essence deals from a while back but he likes Suave.

    I'm slipping myself. Sent DH to the downstairs fridg to get eggs.....no eggs. ..but what's really making me nervous is that we only have 2 12-packs of TP. I keep hoping for a sale. If we don't get one soon, we may be using the phone book until one breaks.
