My MIL was a firm believer in out-of-sight, out-ot-mind. She hid everything in her closet other than what was needed for the week. I would ask what she needed , and she would say coffee, sugar...etc. When she passed away my wife found 11 lbs of coffee in her closet.I also like to stay stocked up on things that dont go bad. Toliet paper, paper towel, toothpaste and toothbrushes, razors and all sorts of things. The only problem with that is that everyone knows, when they run out they are at the door asking to "borrow" I need a special cabinet with a key only held by me.
