I have seven boxes of Triscuits in my cupboard.
I don't know how I got to this point. Original and Reduced Fat, FWIW.

8. Beer and triscuits? Not sure I've ever tried them together.
And unfortunately, I'm fresh outta cheese; just finished my last two slices of extra super duper sharp cheddar.

16. Beer and Triscuits - Good!
Well, as long as you don't pour the beer over the Triscuits and try to eat them like big Chex.

9. My spouse digs those. And just about any fresh herbs we can grow at home.
I'm not the one with the green thumb, though.

3. I have 30 boxes of OB tampons in my linen closet
2 varieties were onsale for 50% off so I grabbed as many as I could from 4 different drug stores that was running the sale.

They also had Redkin Shampoo & Conditioner half price and I have about 20 variety of bottles of that stuff too.

I will have the shiniest hair and well, um, uh, ........ :blush:

7. Luckily, none of those items will go stale.
:-)

I like your thinking, though. Sounds like the beginnings of a good hurricane kit.

14. They were $2.25 a box - that's damn cheap for that product
Hell I hadn't paid $2.25 since I first started using them - and they are the best

I'm sure everyone appreciates this information....NOT!

21. I have no real frame of reference for that pricing ...
... but I'll be pleased to pass it along to friends who can use the information.

:thumbsup:

6. I've TWICE cracked older fillings on stale triscuits. It's like they get to >
a consistency where they are maleable enough to pack down between the points of a molar on bite 1 then push outward on bite 2.

10. Ouch! I've avoided that so far, although a family member ...
... recently lost a filling on a hard bit of something in a fig newton. I've been lucky in that regard.

26. May I suggest...
Taking the Kraft Foods recipe for a Teddy House, and connecting them into a Teddy Castle? Would make for a great photo op! ;)

13. That's easy!
They're 2 for $4.00 at Wegmans so I pick up two boxes, eat one, notice that they're still 2/$4, pick up two, eat one, etc.... After a few more shopping trips, seven boxes! It has happened to me.

I also have far more cans of tuna than any one person could conceivably use in a reasonable amount of time.

19. Sounds like I need a Wegmans.
I used to be able to buy two of the family size ones for $4 at the local HELL*MART, but even they have upped their prices. Now the best I can hope for is buy one get one free at Publix (Where Shopping is a Pleasure) ...

I haven't been too high on tuna since the tsunami. I kept envisioning huge tune eating human remains out in the ocean, and that kinda did it for me. But I do take fish oil tablets a time or two each day. Yumm.

18. Actually. I think they all feature Ms. Ray.
I'm not sure I even know who she is. I know she has a cooking show, but that's it. She's kinda cute.

29. Triscuits are among my favorites ...
... but now that you mention it, we have a selection of M&Ms in da house, also. Still have some Halloween colors (black & orange), as well as standard Xmas and minty flavor.

Sigh.

32. I've had them a time or two, but keep coming back to the flavor of my childhood.
"Original." But I do dig the cracked pepper & olive oil Triscuits. :-)

24. I have five boxes of Wheat Thins.
Different varieties.

My kids love them, though, so they probably won't go stale.

33. Wheat Thins are another favorite.
Maybe I am attracted to snack crackers in yellow boxes, which, incidentally, is my favorite color. But Wheat Thins are excellent.

28. Use instead of tortilla chips for nachos!
They don't get soggy.

31. I've never tried that. But it sounds like something I'd like.
And probably a bit better for me than most of the chips I like ...
