The Unhinged World of Restock Influencers - CRAZY Overconsumption on TikTok

[@KylaJames]

the stanley packing is what set me over the edge and prompted this video lmao

[@lotusthemermaid]

Omg completely understandable. The Stanley obsession drove me insane.

[@samaratinsley9112]

@kylajames this is 100% my mom. She is not an influencer but she does this And has done this since I was a young child. She is a multimillionaire (something I wish I was!) She doesn’t have any Stanley’s but she does have a customer fridge and crazy organizers for everything. Something I learned is that if it doesn’t fit in her nice perfect fridge then it goes outside to one of the garages. The garage fridge is where everything gets piled into. It’s where all the leftovers go and it’s where most of her friends go to grab things because it’s easier than messing up her perfect fridge. She also is the kind of person to have every bathroom (there’s 4 or 5) stocked up completely. Every bathroom has all of that stuff for every guest who stays over. It allows friends and family to travel with less things when going to her house because most of us think it is a lot to travel to her. Her goal is to minimize any reason for us not to visit. Hope that helps !!

See i can see the appeal of having it for a regular water bottle on a walk. For me the stanley just doesnt make sense because its already SO heavy, and it leaks so if you had it full and used the strap out for a walk it would be bouncing around and spilling everywhere. But having a water bottle strap so you can bring it on a hike or whatever with just say your id and some cash/debit card, maybe a granola bar or something makes sense.

See THAT makes sense! And in that case it makes sense to have individually packaged things so they can stock up a bit and take things with them when they leave. That’s a beautiful way to do something like this! Otherwise, having that much stuff just for the sake of having it is over the top

[@kgjones5]

Yep- I used to do international mission trips with a local charity, and I would gather unopened hotel toiletries that people don’t want/often leave unused in hotels (and many housekeeping staffers have to toss after each guest). I would collect them all year from friends, esp those who travel for business. I had a little “restocking” looking shelf in my closet just for these, and I’d an organize them by type. In Nicaragua and Brazil, we would set up a little free “shop” at a community location where folks could come and choose toiletries, flip flops/water shoes, t-shirts/tanks, and eyeglasses (the reader kind- I collected these new all year as well). Most exciting time was once when I was working the little shop a small earthquake hit- common for locals but wild for me! Anyway, the organization had a real practical purpose… but I do admit I enjoyed organizing it all and seeing all the different style of toiletries from resorts/hotels I’ll probably never go! I enjoyed organizing and setting up the little shops as well. I loved how happy everyone was leaving with a bag of goodies and knowing many of the toiletries would’ve been trashed and never enjoyed otherwise, too.

One of the biggest things outside of what’s already been mentioned that bothers me about guest bathroom restocks is almost every single one stocks highly fragranced products that I wouldn’t be able to use or have fragrances I don’t like using.

Plus since it's on a water bottle, you'll have water to take with your pills. It's not a strictly necisarry thing, but if you have a stanley and medications you take regularly, it could be useful.

That olive container is for things that you store with its liquid. The idea is that you can place it in the fridge/pantry in such a way that the product is in the liquid. Then when you want to grab the product, you hold it so that the liquid drains to the other side, allowing you to grab the product without having it roll around in the liquid. I know someone that uses a container like this for her pickles. She loves pickles so much, that she doesn't consider dinner good if she didn't have pickles.

The ice drawer restocks are insane! Here’s the thing - once you start consuming more, you have more things to clean and maintain in your life which eats up precious time and causes stress, at least for me. These influencers entire job is to make these little videos, that’s not my reality. While that luxurious amount of ice might look lovely, the idea of buying all that, making it, needing a special freezer for it, etc. makes me sweat lol. The REAL luxury of having money isn’t in buying more stuff, but in buying your time back. The REALLY wealthy people have the means to buy lots of stuff and hire other people to maintain it lol

I have been in many homes with drink fridges. Its the most normal thing presented in these videos. Its inexpensive to get a second fridge because sometimes people are practically giving them away on offer up. And if you are lucky enough to have a garage you would put the drinks fridge out there. Some people call it the beer fridge.

[@mommiej3ans319]

My parents have 3 fridges. They bought a knew one when they bought their house with the money from selling the property when my dad divorced my mom. The fridge from the ranch went on the back patio and is my dad's beer fridge and freezer has his ice cream and some meats lol. My step mom brought her old one as well and that's her drink fridge and the freezer has more meats. Inside fridge is the everything fridge if basics etc like normal. My house, we have two. One in the garage is the drink fridge and the freezer (bigger than inside) has extra stuff we rotate with the inside freezer.

You're right, once the seal of the original packaging is broken, what matters are the instructions on the container "after opening, store in the fridge and use up within X days". X is usually something like 1-2, 3-4. Maybe a week. But usually not more than that. Also if there was a bit of dust, remains or alike, it's pretty much getting off a lot sooner, even in the fridge.

When my family from Japan visits.. they are here for no less than 4 weeks. The supplies are mostly so they don't have to buy any more toiletries when they stay. My sister in law sometimes brings her family as well and taking the "American" toiletries back with them is something they enjoy. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Bought a kirby vacuum set up, with 2 full size dysons and a rocket vacuum and 2 hand helds in the house. Kitchen Aid gadgets. She had THREE food processors. Two air fryers She stored on the fridge and never used. A 16pc dish set she did use and that didnt include the bake ware she bought separately to match. Totes of place mats etc. New bed spreads. New containers for food storage that took up more space than actually keeping them in their original containers. Shit either collected dust or was stored away in closets. 3 drawers of silverware and cooking utensils as well as 2 canisters with utensils. Oh she also never cooks unless its the counter top oven thing. Freezer full of QVC bagels and pastries and tv dinners or whatever. I was so glad to move out.

This is because if I got it from a subscription like FabFitFun or something I know they sometimes are closer to the expiration date than things I go out and purchase myself.

We have a pretty open house so a lot of our friends will swing by just about every day to hang out, bring their dogs to play with ours, or have dinner so we utilize the fridge and it makes sense for our lifestyle. We also use it for regular and alcoholic beverages so there's a decent selection. When we don't have guests over, my husband and I don't really grab drinks from the fridge.

I totally get where you’re coming from and generally agree. For guest bathrooms, I definitely will go out of my way to try to make sure the bathroom is clean and has what they need. But like you said, it’s hard to afford the amount that they do. If I could, I would, because I like to take care of guests, but I usually can’t. I always make sure sanitary products, with a wide asssortment are under the sink and sorted, along with extra tooth brushes and toothpaste, and towels. I have a niece that told me she follows my model now because as a teen, having free access to those products meant a lot to her (her parents didn’t have much).

[@KylaJames]

Totally fair! I can see that too - and i think having some stuff on hand def makes sense - hygiene products, extra toothbrushes and a toothpaste etc. I think the issue isn't having some of that stuff, it's promoting having ALL of it in such excess that it just isn't sustainable or realistic at all. If I was having guests come stay at my house i'd def pick up some of that stuff too just to make sure everyone is taken care of and there are no late night trips out to get a necessity like a toothbrush!

I love using different shapes of ice and I use a lot of ice and I don’t have much time so I like to make a lot at once, so some of the ice restocks give me a little inspiration lol. Something the ice restock influencers don’t tell you though, is that by the time all the ice gets out of the trays it’s slightly thawed out. So all of the ice, as satisfying as it is when you first see it, when it freezes again it gets all stuck together. So you have to smack it against the ice bin every time you get ice
