Be careful on things like toothpaste, though, as they do have expiration dates. I recently had to dispose of a good half dozen tubes that were VERY out of date.

It is, however, 11. And 3 jars of peanut butter. And 10 boxes of pasta. And 6 boxes of cereal. Etc. It does give me freedom, and I love it. I am able to support more local food drives, and even help my brother and sister-in-law with diapers and wipes (gotta love avenue 1.50/1 + a coupon + a sale to score 150 wipes for a couple of bucks!) My friends thought I was nuts until gas prices went to over $4. Suddenly, they seem think 44 boxes of kleenex for $2 is a good idea. :) It’s only 2 of us, so it’s not 44 boxes of kleenex for us.
