Organizing the stock pile

So, my teenage daughter is traveling this week for Skills USA.
I haven't cleaned her bathroom for some time.
I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the walls were kind of gross. So while DD is gone, I decided this was a really good time to scrub her bathroom good.
And it was a good scrub. I actually meant to do a little each night, maybe 15 or 20 minutes at a time.
But last night, I pretty much finished. The walls are all scrubbed, the curtains are washed, the window's clean, and the cabinet drawers are emptied and wiped and reorganized. And I realized that I had a LOT of room under the sink.
After putting back DD's items, in fact, there was about enough room to move some of the stockpile into.
So I moved all the body wash into there.
And I'm thinking today I'll move all the shaving cream under there as well.
All the bubble bath, epsom salts, and bath stuff is in there already. And there's an extra package of toilet paper. And DD's mouthwash and fluoride rinse and hair dryer.
There's one empty drawer, but I think DD uses that for her makeup so I won't take it over.
It is nice to find a little extra room.

I also got some of my coupons that I'd purchased on Ebay. I got 20 Pillsbury brownie mix/frosting coupons. It is so tempting to run to Winco and use them all. But I'll desist. Even 43 cents a box for brownie mix is a little out of reach right now-it's a luxury item because we have plenty. I am going to be able to use these coupons until the end of September.

I am, however, going to go to Target tonight and get the Jif peanut butter that I have a free coupon for. And I have one other item on my list to look at while we're there,if I can find the coupons for them.

Keeping my eyes on the goal.
