I only buy my body wash, face wash, lotion and deo when its on sale and I have coupons. When both forces combine I buy in bulk. I can't remember the last time I ever ran out of any of this since I have the equivalent of a small store in my bathroom closet. I’m with you on stock piling of beauty supplies.

I asked my SIL who works for Coke and was told they did change the formulation. It doesn't go bad like before. But now I stockpile 6 months of Coke. DH drinks it way faster than a reasonable person. I have a bottle of 100 cubes of bullion, much smaller space than the cans. Soda isn’t so bad actually. I asked my SIL who works for Coke and was told they did change the formulation.

Head out to Costco/Sams, and buy a boat load of it. The short term financial hit will only benefit you in the long run. Like you, there are only 2 of us and the dog to feed so when we try to stockpile food it goes bad too quickly. I hear canned goods last a very long time so it might be beneficial to stock up on beef/chicken broth, and campbells soups. Stockpiling non-perishables is the way to go.

It changes flavor the longer it sits, even in unopened cans. You're probably too young to remember the hullabaloo when Coke decided to change its formula, and we all stockpiled Coke Classic, but that's the lesson that I learned. I do think you're right to stockpile goods more than food. VO5 shampoo is sometimes on sale for as low as 50 cents a bottle--I buy it by the caseload! Just so you know–stockpiling soda doesn’t work.
