My pantry has been in desperate need of attention for months. Yesterday I decided to tackle it and I ended up taking every single thing out and re-lined the shelves, threw out lots of stuff, and put everything back in a neat and organized fashion. It's the size of a small coat closet, so it took half the day. It feels so good to have it done!
But oh my gosh, I discovered that I'm a K-cup hoarder. I will buy a box or two when I find them on sale and stash them in the bottom shelf of the pantry. So I found several boxes opened, and several boxes unopened. Oh, and last week when I was at Costco for some reason I felt compelled to buy a box (of 120!) that was on sale. So just for sh*ts and giggles i counted how many I have - 324 322 (I just had 2 cups.)
Did I mention that there are only 2 of us living here? And my husband might have 2 or 3 cups per week? At my rate of 2 cups a day I'm set until April 21st. That is, if I can stop myself from buying more.
Am I alone with this addiction?

I realized the other day that we have way too many boxes of K-cups in our cupboard. We have a small house and not a ton of storage space and they are taking up too much valuable room. Mine were on sale the other day so I bought a few boxes. Dh hasn't been using his, even with the Keurig, he prefers to stop at Tim Horton's most of the time. Plus he was experimenting with flavors a while back and decided he didn't like some so the boxes are mostly full. I should bring them in to work. DD has hot chocolate K-cups and a few different kinds on top of that along with some Hazelnut kind that she didn't care for either.
I don't think we have near as many as you do though!

I just filled my k-cup holder and decided I'm not buying anymore until what I have is gone! It's so easy to grab a box or two, like you said and then if I don't like them, I hang onto them to put out for company. I'm sure I have plenty that are expired.

Although undoubtedly not alone, I do not join you in this vice. I've never been able to get past the smell to even taste coffee!

Ha, ha, I have the opposite problem. I watch my stash get lower and lower and get nervous that there won't be a sale to replenish before I run out.

I watch my stash get lower and lower and get nervous that there won't be a sale to replenish before I run out. Word. only I have to wait for Amazon to deliver mine (see above) I can scrape by with Aldi brand, but love my timmys. |

I have the opposite problem-we are forever running low or running out because I have no place to store a lot of K-cups. I totally forgot about ordering them from Amazon!

I have way too many of lots of thing but fortunately K-Cups isn't one of them. I order more when DH says he's getting low. Plus our DD sends them to him on gift occasions so if often gets taken care of without me doing anything.
