Very slow Sunday night, I find myself completely out of milk yet again – as much as I stockpile I can’t keep milk in supply here. Curious to know if anyone has a cow for sale.. I could use one in the backyard.
I was talking to a friend today on the phone, who said “What are you doing tonight?” Me? Nothing but buying milk at Safeway, what else could I possibly have going on Sunday evening. Laundry? Cleaning my house? Absolutely, and I don’t feel like doing that either.
Led me to say that I hate running out of milk – of all items to run out of, milk has to be the most painful. Can’t eat my Oreos, without milk…. Can’t eat Cocoa Pebbles without milk. I can’t enjoy my Cadbury Caramel eggs without milk – and even worse? Toblerone Bars aren’t so good with Crystal Light. OH! And I can’t make chocolate pudding for dessert without milk either! Grr!
Tell me—because I’m curious to know, what is the ONE item you just can’t bear to run out of?
Coffee… I can’t function as a normal human being without it. If I don’t have it every single morning.. it ruins the rest of the day!
you took the words right out of my mouth!
I second that!
Actually, I was gonna say HALF AND HALF because what good is coffee without it?? ;)
Swiss ice tea! I have to have it. I hate when I run out, and I don’t like sharing it.It’s Off limits to the kids, I even buy my husband his own tea so he dosen’t drink mine.
toilet paper b/c it is so expensive when the stockpile is low!
I am with you on milk! I use it for everything!
A spice RIGHT when I need it. Sooo annoying. It doesn’t matter what spice, just a spice!
Come on, I’m a guy — beer! LOL, but seriously? Do any of us who follow your site so closely ever really *need* a reason to go to the store? No! It’s a destination unto itself, and I can easily spend a chunk of time just scanning shelves for deals or products I’ve never tried before.
Conditioner! I always run out of conditioner before shampoo even though I buy more conditioner than shampoo. My hair is so unmanageable without it!
Foundation! I hate running out because even at my age, I still haven’t found one that doesn’t look like I have it on, and the color NEVER matches my skin, so I’m always looking for and trying different ones when I run out, which is soooooooo frustrating, but I NEED to wear it.
Toilet paper, and HAIR GLUE!!!
I don’t like running out of coke. I gotta have my coke.
Toilet paper. I have never, ever been close to running out of toilet paper. Even before couponing, back in my college days living in a 8×10 dorm, I had a stockpile of toilet paper. It took precedence over Ramen noodles even. By the end of every week I was at my friend’s begging for food, but my bum was always happy. :) It’s my one thing I will admit to hoarding. PS. Back then $20 a week for food was unimaginable – now I know it’s possible with couponing!
Fruit is the snack in our house. When we run out, my family can’t seem to figure out what to eat. Thank goodness for price matching and a very close walmart.
I agree…milk. Not because I drink it (I don’t) but because I can’t stand the kids whining when we don’t have any!
BINGO. Same here.
MILK, I always have milk in the freezer, but i forget to take it out sometimes and It never fails when i want to make biscuts and gray it FROZEN
Peanut butter! We love pb around here & can’t survive without it! (Though coffee is definitely a close 2nd!)
Creamer, can’t/won’t drink coffee without it. Milk and sugar WILL NOT do! Then I am grumpy the whole rest of the day!!
For me, iced tea. Got to have it the way a coffee drinker needs their fix =D I go through a gallon a day easy!
I love sweet tea. Can’t live without it!
Sanitary Napkins…aka Pads…need I say more?
Soda. It is my crack. I think I would trade a kid for one if I was out.
hahaha! That’s me & Dr. Pep. Gotta have it. If I dont .. then it’s a drive to Sonic during Happy Hour.
Toilet paper! I hate buying it, but I hate running out of it even worse! LOL!
LOL always good to hide a roll somewhere. That way when you DO run out, you can go “oh yes! I kept one! “
Diet coke! Hate to run out of that stuff. I will even run to circle k to get a thirstbuster if I am out and there is no good sale!
These days it is cereal. We all eat it and it runs out so fast. I can’t keep up with buying it and there are rarely good deals anymore on it.
Gotta say toilet paper…. such a hassle when you know you’re on the last roll, but don’t want to go out to the store.
