Unplanned Hoarding


     We had dental appointments yesterday up in Prince George.  Because we live in a small isolated village, every time we go up to the “Big City” we always make a point of stocking up on the things we need.  Unfortunately, we often don’t remember what it is we need, and what it is we don’t need.  

    After we got home from our trip last night and started to unload all of those supplies out of the car, I discovered we were really mistaken about what things we needed, and as a result we now have to deal with the problem of where to store it all.

    As you can see in the photo above, it will now be a while before we run out of toilet paper.  I was surprised while at Costco, when my wife said we needed toilet paper, because I thought we still had a lot, but toilet paper is something we don’t want to run out of, so I bought a big package.

    We also doubled the number of jars of peanut butter we had on hand.  That was my fault, but I thought we were down to the last jar.  We bought a whole chicken, when we already had several frozen ones in the freezer.   The same can be said for a pack of chicken breasts.  

    Like my wife says, “We’ll eventually use it all.” but given our track record, I imagine by that time we will have already purchased more of that item, which we will have to store.
