Have you bought the same thing again and again and again?

I was just looking for s/t in my pantry and found 5 bags of brown sugar. I would be out shopping, pass the brown sugar, think "I remember running low on the bag I have open, not sure if I bought another yet" so I buy one. Only to come home and find that I had this idea a few times already.....

A friend once told me that she had a years supply of dish setergent because of this.

SO what have you bought again and again and again..............?

I also have the sugar issue. Brown sugar and confectioners sugar. The problem is, I NEVER use confectioners sugar, so it just remains.

Taco seasoning for my ground beef and Italian dressing seasoning for my fried fish and crispy chicken. I buy it and buy it until I decide to stop because I have too much. Then I use it up but am sure I still have some in the house so when I need it, guess what? I finally don't have it just as I'm ready to make supper.

Hey merrymom that chicken sounds good, how do you make it?

I had three boxes of garbage bags because I always think I'm out, and then my dh bought another one.

Sounds great, thanx!

I used to have that problem with Pesach supplies, since I never remembered what I packed up from last year, until I started to write it down. I think I haven't bought Pesach dishsoap in about five years, because I had tons left over from what I had bought every year previously.

Garlic powder and other spices. First I forget to buy it once or twice, then the next 5 trips I buy it.

things that I always run out of, like sugar, bread flour, canned tomatoes, mayo etc. but it seems either I have too much or not enough.

I"ve done that for clothes too. I shuld be embarrased to tell you all that.

I do that with a lot of different foods.
Last year I bought myself a new skirt...then 3 WEEKS LATER I bought the EXACT same skirt again...and in a different size! I didn't gain/lose weight in those 3 weeks so I'm not sure why I bought different sizes even (it wasn't an elastic waist either). The worst part was that I had worn both of them once before realizing so I couldn't even return the duplicate.

Margarine. They only have one I buy at some stores so I always buy when I am there but somehow I ended up with about 5 tubs.

Brown sugar as well, ketchup, pasta, canned mushrooms, frozen french fries and a bunch of other things that I can't think of at this moment.

toothpaste...
