stockpiling shoppers

how many tubes of toothpaste is enough?

right now I am on 4 (and its only me and DH)...if they have another sale and coupon deal next week...should I get it?

I don't stockpile more than 2 or 3 on toothpaste because there are coupons all the time. I cut out the coupons in case there's a really good sale, like triple coupons, but end up throwing a lot of coupons out since they seem to be in the paper every couple of weeks.

I have 10 tubes in stock
and I make sure to keep on top of expiration dates. (I have PLENTY of time on them)

If its a GREAT Deal (like KAren said, SALE PLUS coupons) GO FOR IT!
I usually pay under $1 a tube. sometimes 75cents, sometimes 50cents. sometimes FREE!
(and they go for $2.50-$4 a tube) the huge ones.

IMO you can never have too many of the essentials. For instance, this week at Waldbaums Colgate was on sale- I think it was 2 for 5.00. I had 2 coupons for 1.00 and then they double. So I got 2 tubes of the toothpaste I like for 1.00 . I can't pass that up- But when my stockpile is too large I become more discriminating- brands, prices, etc... But I love the thrill of getting a great buy!

at last count, i had 7 mentadent's and 2 tubes of colgate, unopened!! there is an awesome sale on aquafresh at stop-n-shop (2 for $3, plus a $1 coupon - double that - 2 tubes for $1). i had to physically stop myself from buying anymore!! our linen closet is starting to look like a Costco!!! i figure the toothpaste sales come often enough, that i should get through some of these before i buy more.

OK...I'll keep buying (as long as they are under $1)


DH thinks I am crazy with all the TP we have...but I am sorry...that is ONE THING I DO NOT WANT TO RUN OUT OF!!!!

I usually keep one extra at home and thats it. But I don't normally purchase them for less than a $1. We simply don't have space.
