I bought what? The down side of stockpiling

I was cleaning DHs bathroom and I came upon a big tote of HBA under the sink.

Why the hell do I have all this Pert Plus? Oh, yeah, it was free.  But.. we don't like it.  It makes my hair smell weird (hooray body chemistry).  

We all run into this when we stockpile.  Something is free and we think we might use it, so we bring it home.  It's usually an HBA item, something that we use (shampoo, deodorant), but not a brand we've used.  We try it and.. not so much.  What to do with the rest?

There are a couple choices:

Donate it to a shelter (check your local shelters, some do not accept toiletries)
Hold onto it until it's time for food and toiletry drive at your kids local school,
Get together with your friends and do an unwanted swap.  Whatever is leftover can be donated.

Would anyone in the San Diego area be interested ion doing an unwanted item exchange?  I have a box of toiletries and some canned goods
