I have a ton of bar soap at home. I like herbal scented ones so I buy
them at fairs and I keep an assortment on hand. It's easy to stay a
year or two ahead of my consumption. Then my wife tried her hand at
home made soap as a hobby. It's nice stuff but we must have 4+ years
worth in the closet right now. No buying bar soap for a long time.

That or memory loss. I remember than from when my MIL was alive. I
think we still have not run out of cleaning materials she bought. She
could not remember what she had in her apartment downstairs so every
time my wife took her to the grocery store she bought something from the
clenaing materials aisle. When she died the stuff was all over the
place in her rooms. Canned soup behind her socks even.
