After reading this post I realize how often I do this.

Some examples:
– a spare toothbrush/toothpaste/floss in the downstairs bathroom
– Chapstick in the car/purse/bathroom drawer/cupboard near the house entry
– Scissors…everywhere
– I don’t mind re-using my workout clothes as I don’t sweat very much, but I always hate re-using sports bras. I just bought some great ones second hand. While I’m an under-buyer, this makes me SO happy to have a drawer stocked with 5 sports bras!
– a spare pair of sneakers left by the treadmill. They don’t get dirty, I never have to go looking for them.

Then there is the flip side to this, where I try to really streamline and limit the number of things. Like cleaning supplies; I try to find multi-purpose supplies that will do everything and limit it to 1-2 of these items per bathroom. Likewise, when my kids were little I decided (on my doctor’s suggestion) to use a rice-sized amount of regular toothpaste for them. We now all use the same toothpaste, shampoo, and soap. There are some great gentle all-in-one shampoo and body washes at health food stores/online. I pick neutral scents and it is SO nice to not have a huge jumble of different products for different people.

Yes!
I learned this from my mom. Chapstick in every place you need it. Car (if you live somewhere not too hot), purse, desk, kitchen sink, nightstand, etc.
