I've been cleaning a large walk-in closet the past couple of days and shredding years worth of old checks, bills, and tax forums. While moving things I came across several boxes I didn't know I had. When I opened them I couldn't believe my eyes!

Are you ready??? I am the proud owner of 34 bottles of Japanese Cherry Blossom hand soap from Bath and Body Works! They send me emails when they are having sales and I love this soap and use it in my bathrooms and kitchen since I have sensitive skin and apparently I ordered it several times not remembering I had plenty.

This reminds me of the 270 rolls of toilet paper I discovered in my garage last spring. shocked Will I ever learn? shakehead

Ha!!! I know that feeling. But when it becomes something good, you don't feel so bad!!!

Have a great day Sherrine. I love Bath and Body Works!!! I use their body washes (Sensual Amber my favorite) and their True Blue Shea Cashmere body cream... Wonderful stuff. And buy two get one free, plus 20% off!!! Can't beat that!!!

Hugs, Karen...

Sherrine -

Thank you for sharing - it gave me a smile to know I'm not the only one.  I was sorry to hear you had that happen, but can really appreciate how it could occur.  

I am quite popular with the groups at my daughters school when they want donations of baskets.   The reason being ..... I generally have a lot of items to put in them.  Usually because I've completely forgotten that I bought it. Over and over.   Usually all matched items.   I get the buy 2 get one free sales and then forget I bought them.   Then later, I find a new flavor I like because they discontinued and I forget completely that I have some backups.   Net result:   great basket sales!

it's always Bath and Body stuff for me too.   I don't know if its their marketing, subliminal advertising or something in the True Blue line that is addicting.   I love that place .....

Me too Firefly,

I think that for me is that the fragrances don't bother me. Usually they do. I finally found pretty smelling things I can use... I normally can't use stuff with fragrance in it. Speaking of BBW, I have to get some more body cream. I have a coupon and hope it will be buy two get one free...

I save their bags and their boxes when I order online...

Ha!!!

Hugs, Karen...

Last time I was in there they gave me vlear plastic gift bags and colored ribbons that say bath and body ... They are great for little presents - for thank yous or for small Christmas gifts.

Ha! That's funny, Sherrine!  :-)   At least it's something you like!  But how frustrating to have forgotten all about it...

I thought you were going to say you accidentally shredded something you desperately needed (because that's what I'd have done.)

What I love from Bath and Body Works is their True Blue hand cream - forget the name - that's made with paraffin. I usually can't take scents either, Karen, but this smells like oranges and really saves my hands in the Winter.

**** - What a windfall!!!
As Debbie said, I usually forget that I need something & shred it or if I don't write down what I need when go to store - Not happening!!!

Thanks for laugh Sherrine & others, I needed it today!

Thanks for some humor Sherrine.

I use a Dove bar soap for sensitive skin. It is not scented. My Son always likes to buy me perfume but I can't use it so much anymore. I just put it on my wrists if we are going somewhere.

Are you for hire Sherrine? I hate cleaning closets more than I hate ironing. Many things await in my house. My Husband likes to keep everything. I am better at giving things away to charities. We have many organizations that come to your house to pick up clothing and household stuff.

I ordered tee shirts recently and realized they are the same kind I bought about 6 months ago and returned because I didn't like them. I hope they don't have records of returns because these are going back too.

I even bought a purse I already have!

On the weekend I gave the valet my wallet along with my keys when visiting a friend in a huge Chicago hospital. Thankfully they had it when I went back.

Sherrine that was funny.

I love that dove unscented soap...

After i was laughing over sherrine s story.. I was in the closet where my husband stockpiles...he cannot compete with sherrine but because his soaps are sometimes out of stock...he keeps a hefty supply..he also does a lot more shopping than i do...so picks up stuff..

I have not bought a lightbulb in our married life..but as they were trying to ban our light bulbs , we did buy a case...to add to our other stashes of them..

I did order 6 of an unscented shaving cream when i thought it was being discontinued, but they brought it back..phew...
