Oh no!.... The cat's eaten it.

It's CHEEEEEEESE, Grommit!

We've got a bottle of sunscreen that's at least 10 years old (actually I think it's more like 15) that still works fine. I'm way too cheap to give up on that old bottle until it's empty :D

Me, too!!! This is a big bottle of the kids Coppertone, Costco size. And, it isn't all gunky and full of sand or anything so it even still looks good!

Oh, I am cheap. I have a bag full of shampoos and stuff from hotels that I toss in the bag for when a hotel doesn't have enough or when the kids spend the night somewhere. I don't think I'll ever use them up but I still have them.

OTC pills last at least a year past their date. They start losing potency, but they are still good.

Same here, though I have no idea what I'll use that shampoo for, since I'm kind of picky about that. I'm currently out of tiny hotel soaps for hand washing and I'm too cheap to buy some, so big bath bar it is ;)

I once had a guest call up and ask if she could give her husband some Valium that expired in 1992.

He had a fever of 102 and she wanted him to stop bitching to her about it so she thought Valium was the way to go.

Bar soap~I was shocked to see a big pack {it was either 6 or 9, whatever the big packs are} of Ivory soap for $2.99. I was really impressed and that isn't a sale price.

The little shampoos can also be used to wash hand washables. Right? Yeah, I don't always like the little ones but when it is Neutragena and pretty bottles, I like to keep it.

Oh, Frodo, too funny. You can only imagine how much he was bitching for her to even consider giving that to him!!!

Good to know about the meds. :snap:

You may remember than Lani collected them once at a MouseAdventure, but such items can be sent to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hmm, forgot about that. Need to tackle the under-sink cabinet someday, and that's a pretty good incentive.
