Bulk non-perishables is always the way to go. I think my family buys tp, garbage bags, light bulbs etc maybe once every two years.

My folks were freaking out about no sanitizer anywhere. I have OCD. I just calmly went to my room and brought out my massive 1 L jug of sanitizer

For once, that pain in the ass disorder came in handy

That's amazing!

I mock threatened my friends that if I couldn't buy toilet paper when I needed it, I was going to come over to their house and scoot my ass across the rug like the dog does.

I had signed up for a tp delivery service the previous September, and got 48 rolls every eight weeks, which was the “light use estimate” for a single person household.

I don’t know what the rest of y’all are doing, but I had used six rolls when the second shipment came in November. I passed it around to all my friends and forgot to cancel it, so I received a third shipment January. Of 48 rolls.

I now had received 144 rolls of toilet paper in four months, and I use it at a rate of 3.5 rolls per month.

I set a phone reminder to cancel it, and donated 48 rolls to a shelter. Then, in march, when my cancellation alert came up, I realized another shipment might not be the worst thing.

Then in April I got a bidet. I did manage to cancel my subscription, and left rolls on all my neighbors front steps, and I still had enough to last until may of 2021, when I moved and donated the rest.

I thought this would be the story of how you made your first million as a pandemic toilet paper baron

I’ve always gone to Costco and gotten the big packs of toilet paper, because it was easier. However I had just screwed up the shopping list and got the big pack two weekends in a row. So I was set, in my bunker, for the TP wars

Cleaner and sanitizer were another story. I bought late, at scalper prices because that was the only choice. And that was for mostly normal use
