Welcome to an ongoing series I like to call Grace's Lack of Object Permanence in which I share a photo every time I buy multiples of an item because I forgot I already bought it because my ADD is constantly trolling me. Enjoy!

Went to put a recently opened pack of toilet paper under the sink after removing a roll. Found an older pack of toilet paper under the sink missing only one roll. 😐
Before Covid, I would buy toilet paper, every time it was on sale, even if I didn't "need" it. I mean, when it's BOGO it's hard to pass up. I used to feel bad about that, feeling like a hoarder, until the toilet paper shelves were wiped out for a couple months. I will buy facial tissues almost every
week, even if we still have an unopened four pack. I buy peanut butter every time it's on sale. I will also buy paper towels if they're on sale, even if I don't need it. Because there will be a few weeks when they're not on sale and horribly expensive.
I feel this one. Here’s a few of mine. Please note all three bags of basmati rice are opened and half used.
Not pictured: bottles of ketchup and maple syrup.
Omg SAME on the broth and please tell me at least one of those is expired and you just now realized it. I recently cleaned out the door of my fridge and the number of ancient ketchups...
Nup. That's a real @emmawestwood.bsky.social thing. I'm all about the baking powder. I've even bonded with people at Xmas parties over the wonders of this particular white powder
At one point my freezer was so over full it barely worked because I repeatedly bought more of the same frozen meals at the store, forgetting I had a freezer full of stuff I hadn’t made because as soon as I closed the door I forgot it existed.
Same esp the cumin! In our defense, it could easily be cinnamon or nutmeg in your drawer and not the cumin that we need. I have an ongoing grocery list on my notes app and it includes a ‘Do Not Buy’ section.
I have run into this problem with one very specific item: Star Wars Black Series First Order Stormtrooper figures.
For months, every time I went to a store with a toy section, I'd see those figures, think "oh, I need a couple of those," and buy them. I now have at least a dozen, probably more.
This was especially bad for me during the height of Covid. Too often you can hear me tell my son “we have a cheese(shredded)/ketchup/lightbulb/penne store.”
this used to be me and it’s not like it went away but the wife is very anti multiples of things so now she defaults to telling me we already have it, sometimes we do not have it 🤣 but the supermarket isn’t that far if it were to be dire (rarely is) it’s not foolproof, tho. she’s learned to accept 🤣
this whole thread is gold. it is nice to know that there are others with my affliction. fruit and dairy are the worst because time kills them so fast.
"i can't eat any more berries, dad."
"do your part."

This is what I *know* about.
My partner is the architect of this madness....

Also there is way too much butter in my freezer for this exact reason.
😜😂😝🤫
I had just added a jar to my grocery order that morning because I thought I didn’t have any. 😂🤣😂

The result is spare paper towels, coffee filters, canned goods, packaged noodles, rice and snacks ( esp. those with a long shelf life).
Amazon: You purchased this book on ...
What is this outrage?
