A Household Refill Schedule Based on What You Actually Use

Choose one supply and one unit, such as bottles, rolls or ounces. Record opening stock before starting the log.

A utility cupboard with partially used unbranded household paper rolls, sponges and opaque refill bottles, a small blank checklist on a clipboard beside the shelf.

Start with your own situation

Choose one supply and one unit, such as bottles, rolls or ounces. Record opening stock before starting the log.

Work through the record

Write down purchases and closing stock over a dated interval. Separate product used from discarded, spilled or given away; do not treat all stock reduction as routine use.

Your printable worksheet

Use one sheet per household refill log record. Fill these fields: Supply / unit / start date / opening / purchases / closing / discarded / order lead time. Leave missing information marked unknown; do not silently substitute an estimate.

Make the next decision

Use the observed interval as a starting estimate and check stock again before ordering. Guests, travel and a new product size can make the previous interval unrepresentative.

Documentary context

NIST describes unit pricing as cost per unit of measure.
