This is insane. Plastic Waste

No one needs this many body care products. And no one needs THIS many products to keep themselves clean. Large corporations tell us (mostly women) that we need to spend money on these "self care" products. They profit off of women's insecurities by telling us that in order to be beautiful, clean, smell nice, etc., we need to buy their products. But people literally do not need all of this to stay clean. What the hell.

They're almost certainly one of those extreme couponers. My friends mom did this and had a similar room. She would also let you come over and take anything you wanted because she basically got it all for free.

Look up extreme couponing. I don't really understand it all myself but as I understand it they stack sales and coupons to get things for a tiny fraction of the cost and buy in bulk.
