    Default How Is Your HBA Stockpile?

    I have 2 bottles of shampoo/conditioner, 4 bottles of body wash, 4 sticks of deodorant, 9 toothbrushes, 4 tubes of toothpaste, 2 cans of shaving gel and probably 100 disposable razors. This is all just for me. I was curious as to what other people's stockpile is, and how many people it takes care of.
    Can always use cheese, high fiber product, soup and razor Q's

    Well, I think I have enough shampoo and conditioner to last the rest of my life (10 of each), about 8-10 deodorants, 6 tubes toothpaste, 2 cans shave gel,
    only 2 packs womens shavers and 2 mens shavers, 3 packs lip balms, 3 toothbrushes, 7 travel size shave gel with free shaver, 3 packs bar soaps, 2 mens
    bodywashes, and 10 womens bodywashes. I can see by doing this where I am lacking in supplies There are 2 adults here, but if someone in our church is
    in need, we supply what we can. We have been able to help one lady in town last year with the stockpile supplies. it was a Blessing!
    Also, I have started trying to build up my first aid supplies stockpile. It is going slow, but I think it is very important to have a good supply of the basics.
    Oh ya, I bottle of Scope!

    My stockpile is pretty healthy as long as my 26 yr old son stays away. He thinks I'm a hoarder and believes he should relieve me of too much product. My household cleaning, laundry and foods is pretty stocked too.
    I have 3 freezers completely full. I also buy meat at the Costco in bulk - I grind all my own burger, vac pak it and freeze it. I also make and grind and stuff my own sausage, breakfast, Italian and German types. Way cheaper and I know whats really in it. Very easy to do.

    My son loves snacks and raids me every chance - if I find any chips and nuts on sale and have the q's - I stock up and put them in the freezer. They will stay fresh for much longer.

    My H&B list:

    23 Deodorant – Secret, Degree
    10 assorted other deodorants – Suave, Ban, Gillette
    20 Shampoo
    15 Conditioners
    10 paks of assorted razors
    15 Skintimate shave gels
    14 Edge shave gels
    25 Optic White toothpaste
    5 Crest 3D toothpaste
    10 assorted other brands of toothpaste
    10 Mouthwash
    40 Flosses
    15 Toothbrushes
    20 assorted hair products like Infusium, and detanglers
    15 Irish Spring body wash
    10 Nivea for Women body wash
    5 Nivea for Men body wash
    10 assorted other brand body washes
    5 assorted size Band-aids
    6 assorted ointments Neosporin

    200 toothbrushes
    10 mouthwash
    35 shampoo
    25 conditioner
    80+ mens body wash (getting donated this month!)

    It's just DH and me at home but we have 2 early 20s DDs who shop here regularly. We also try to keep my Dad, my Mother and step dad, DH parents and my Sister and BIL in HB as they are available.

    I keep as much HB on hand as I can get as it doesn;t stay here too long.Currently in my stockpile is:

    23 various shampoos
    18 styling products
    17 conditioners
    12 toothpaste
    7 toothbrushes
    50+ razors
    20 bar soaps
    15 body washes each
    12 deodorants each ...mens and womens

    at least 5 each of eye liners, powders, mascara
    10 lip products....Nivea mostly
    4 big lotions and just a lot of purse sized

    My girls will be here later today so these numbers will drastically change.

    I also have 19 bottles of Wisk, 4 Tide, 4 Downy, 15 Snuggle dryer sheets and all of the people on the above list have at least 2 of each on hand compliments of P&G, redplum and SS.......

    I certainly don't need anything for us but any free or nearly free item I find is coming home with me as some of my family will need it.........I dearly love to take "care packages" regularly.

    Wow! I am so envious. I used to have a large stockpile of H & B, but I just haven't found the deals in a long time. I have:

    1 pkg men's razor blades (used to get free razors all the time for DH)
    3 women's deodorant
    1 men's deodorant
    5 tubes toothpaste
    2 toothbrushes
    5 bottles contact solution
    5 pkgs pads
    6 bars of soap
    4 bottles J & J baby shampoo

    I have no shampoo in my stockpile. I actually had to go buy a bottle the other day at Walmart. I'm brand loyal when it comes to women's razors (Schick Intuition), so I just have about 1/2 a package left from a recent trip to BJ's Wholesale Club.

    Oh, and my household consists of me, DH, 3 yr old DD, 2 yr old DD, and a newborn that will arrive on 4/4.
