Guitar picks. Bought lots of variety packs to find “The One”. Then bought that material and thickness in various shapes and sizes to see what I liked best. Tried them all and decided that I actually preferred one of the different ones and now that’s all I use.
I work part time in a hardware shop so fortunately my days of lots of part-boxes of screws are significantly reduced. When I moved house during lockdown, I skipped loads of boxes....
I still have a handy box of used derailleur inner cables and left over pieces of outer cable - even the 5x one metre lengths of outer cable that Chain Reaction sent me when I ordered 5 metres...
I have a sublimation printing business, so I have a workshop full of mugs, tea towels and suchlike - however, it's not uncommon to be searching the kitchen cupboards or dishwasher to find a clean one...
Tea lights. I was in Ikea ... and they had a pack of 100 for about £2. It was such a bargain I bought a pack. We don’t use tea lights s I have 100 left
We have quite a few of those tucked away in a drawer too. Never get used at home, so once in a while I take a handful to a bothy, forget to light them, and leave them there. At the current rate of attrition, I reckon I'll still be doing this at the age of 137.

Why do you have dirty mugs in the cupboard?
Disc Brake rotors, I always seem to have every possible option under the sun apart from the one I need at that exact moment, so another one gets added to the pile.
Is confused! How many bikes and brake combinations do you have, and how often do you need to swap rotors around? I’ve only needed to change a rotor once in the last fifteen-twenty years, because I had to replace the callipers on one bike*, and the new front one required a slightly larger diameter rotor.
*Two of my bikes hadn’t been ridden in years, the original M4 Hope callipers on my S/S were original monoblocs and had seized up, the new E4’s needed a slightly bigger diameter on the front.
Haemacrit levels.
