…you buy condoms on clearance.

That’s not a chance I’m willing to take.

Edit: Just noticed the contraceptive sponges on the second shelf!  There’s something for everyone in the clearance section.

Edit: Just like XXS women’s clothing, XL condoms end up in the clearance section BECAUSE NOBODY WEARS THAT SIZE.

I sorted the linen closet a few weeks ago, and we are approaching hoarder status on many items, so I haven’t been to CVS.

What you see in the picture is for two people and doesn’t incude medicine, deoderant, razors, or toothpaste, which are in bins in the closet. While I’m happy that most items were purchased for a song, there’s no need to buy any more for a very long time.

This week, I largely stayed away from the personal items and picked up a few things.
