It is almost like I must have lived a previous life during the Depression or something.

What else would honestly explain why at any given time I have no less than four large containers of coffee cream in my refrigerator?

Every now and then I say to myself that I must not purchase another container until I am opening the last one. After all, that will take me several days to use up, giving me plenty of time to get to the store for a replacement.

But, y’all, I cannot do it.

I feel myself get panicky when I am down to two remaining bottles. Almost like shaky and anxious, because YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN AND HOW IN THE WORLD COULD I POSSIBLY DRINK MY COFFEE WITHOUT MY FLAVORED CREAM???!!! [She’s not exaggerating. I once suggested she use milk in her coffee as a stopgap and found myself on the business end of her lethal stare of death.-Lisa]

Clearly, I have a problem.

But, I don’t think I am quite ready to admit I am powerless over coffee cream.

Do you have strange, hoarding habits, too? What is an item that you find yourself stocking up on, just in case?
