Buy two tubes, while true, when you finish a tube, add one toothpaste tube to the shopping list, done.
Works great for an average person who usually visits the store. Adjust the initial putchase if you visit the store twice a year.
Also works great for many suplies like coffee, pasta, legumes...
- arketyp 2y agoI just put my running-out items on the entryway table.
- a_wild_dandan 2y agoMe too! If I must take out some forgettable item, it sits blocking the door.
- lsaferite 2y agoBlocking the door is my go-to way of making sure I don't forget something when leaving the house.
- staindk 2y agoExactly how (and why) I try buy things. Not exactly "bulk" buying but more "at least 2" buying.
- mjcurl 2y agoThis is a much simpler way. Now only to remember to do it next time I get groceries.
- compsciphd 2y agoyes, having a shopping list is good, but have to remember to put it on the shopping list, so same logic applies. i.e. when taking out last tube, you have to remember to do it them, but you are about to brush your teeth, so probably not going to do it then, will get to it afterwards, but you're a forgetful person, so you forget, and now you've forgotten its the last tube. But with the sentinel tube, every time you use it you will remember its the sentinel and you'll be like "did I add it the shopping list?" Eventually one time you'll remember to check the storage / shopping list to see if it needs to be added. TLDR: the point is for forgetful people who can't do the action required right away.
