Where do you hide stuff in your house? email this discussion to a friend?

When we have Little Debbie sweets or cakes in
the house, they always go fast. So I have to hide
most of the box of wrapped sweets or they'll get
eaten within the first day or two.

Sometimes, I stick the extra boxxes up in my
daughter's closet. She's still too small
to get up into the closet, so that's the
perfect hiding place. The sweets don't go bad
or spoil cause they're all prewrapped.

If I were hiding Chrismtas presents, that's
where they'd go too.

Sometimes, I hide an extra
twenty dollar bill under my computer tower
so that I can grab it in a flash for pizza money.

Where do you hide things in your house?

I live alone, so I really don't have o hide things. When I lied at home and my Dad and sister lived at home I had to hide money and sweets or else they'd steal them from me. I got pretty good at hiding things in drawers, and under things and behind things in my edroom that they coudln't find wihout being caught snooping!!

I don't hide things. I would forget and never see whatever I hid again.
Whenever I move something so I remember where it is I remember the original spot but not where I moved it to. confused

I've lost money that way.
Lucky for me, cause later
I found it when we were really desperate
for money.

Of course, it wasn't really lost, just
conveniently put out of sight and out
of mind.

I didn't remember where it was.
But I found it and was sure grateful
to have the foresight to lay a little bit
aside for groceries and such.

Forward thinking!

I hide them in a metal box or a money box. Although I don't have a lock for it. Only I use it I put gift cards in it and some extra mone.


myLot reputation of 91/100. beautyqueen26 (9134)   ranked 748 out of 38,290 in life  1 year ago

If there were checks or anything, they'd
definitely go into a lock box.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Shaun72 (11882)   ranked 332 out of 38,290 in life  1 year ago

No no checks I have a different place for that.

I do not hide food, as there is really no one to hide it from but myself. We put money in jars. happy Hubby has jars of coins all over the place. lol What he does not know is that I have colored jars with dollar bills in them. w00t

have a terrible sweet tooth.
I also have a daughter and 2 grandsons that like the treats I usually have.
I have a dresser in my office and I stash a lot of my sweets there.
Doesn't do any good at all though.
Everyone knows where it's at.
My daughter doesn't ask, she takes then tells me.
My grandsons always ask first.

Finally! Someone that has my quirks.
I don't feel like such a freak now.
I thought I was the only one who hid sweets.
For a minute there, everyone was looking at me
as if I had a horn growing out of my eyeball.

Well since we don't have kids, we don't really need a hiding space because there isn't enough money to be buying anything special in our house. lol Really though, it's true, we're about as poor as a church mouse, especially this month when everything has hit us at once. BUT I have used some closets as a way to store something that I didn't want hubby to see.


myLot reputation of 91/100. beautyqueen26 (9134)   ranked 748 out of 38,290 in life  1 year ago

Women are the gatekeepers to the future.
I've always believed that.
If we don't sock away extra stuff
for the future, (whether money, canned goods,
hurricane supplies, etc.) it won't be
there when the family needs it.

I've been poorer than poor
and my tendency to pack rat stuff
away comes from that experience.

It's so much easier to tuck back
an extra twenty dollars when you are
doing well than to find an extra twenty
when you're broker than heck!

I can identify with the feeling of everything
caving in financially at the same time.

Usually it all begins with our car breaking down
and then hubby usually loses his job within the
week and then everything coming due at once.

So, I do know how you feel.

My heart goes out to you.

I'll remember you and your family in my prayers tonight.

Best wishes!

If I have bought treats that I do not want going too fast then I hide them in the kitchen cupboards right at the back. No one ever bothers routing, if it is not in front of their nose then they do not see any further.

If I am hiding pressies or anything else then it either goes in the draws under my bed or in my wardrobe, no one would dare go in there. Money, well I have lots of hiding places for that! I just have to make sure I remember where they are LOL


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20322)   ranked 66 out of 38,290 in life  1 year ago

Several times in my past I have needed that little bit of extra money. Sometimes it is that I have to sell things to get that extra cash. We scrambled to find the $300 to sign up with a company that we want to use and sell their products. It is amazing what you can find. I actually hide my money in Pay Pal, right now. Hubby says he does not even want to know what is in there, or how to access it, even though it is in both of our names. I need to send for the debit card for that, so I can use it more widely.


myLot reputation of 91/100. beautyqueen26 (9134)   ranked 748 out of 38,290 in life  1 year ago

Hi Gerty! I was just thinking the same thing
the other day. How the heck is hubby going to get my
paypal money if he needs it?

If I am incapacitated for some reason, i.e. in the hospital,
hubby doesn't have access to my online earnings at Paypal.

So I need to get him a debit card that we can share
just in case he needs access to the extra money.

Thanks for the reminder.

I don't hide things in my house, but I chuckled at your story. My father hides stuff in his house, however. But, that's a bit sadder of a story as he is an alcoholic.:( My nephew found a bottle once and 're-hid' it so grandpa wouldn't find it. Sigh.


myLot reputation of 91/100. beautyqueen26 (9134)   ranked 748 out of 38,290 in life  1 year ago

I hid my grandma's cigs once.
Poor thing. Even to the end she couldn't
fight the urge to smoke.

Even after all the cancers and strokes and heart attacks
she couldn't say no to the cancer sticks.

She was the most courageous and brave woman I've
ever met. And in such pain when she died.

I miss her daily!
