How do you judge how much toilet paper I need? Just curious.
<snip>
Multiply the number of butts (etc.) to wipe by times per day by how many squares used per wipe, simple math
OR SO I THOUGHT.
I used to buy things that stored well in 6 months supply quantities when I found a great price.
Back in early March 2020 I bought enough TP to last us a year, I figured. Didn't know my wife would be staying at her mothers to assist her 3 days a week.
Consequently it looks like we are still good for another 6 months.
Did similar with oatmeal, Now down to a 2 month supply, time to order more.

I 'wipe', blow my nose, and clean my ears with 'all purpose paper'. (exclusively, I'm a Scotsman y'know) I can burn through a whole roll in a month in Winter when my nose runs a lot, and no I don't wish I had a cab when pushing snow in 'teen-degree' weather.

Anyway, since I've been shooting I've bought ammo I hoped to shoot, dies to reload 25+ of the ten or so calibers that I actually load, and done so always at the lowest prices I'd expect to see again. I'm up to my eyebrows in ammo etc. 20 Ga skeet, .40 S&W, .22 Mag, .17 HMR, .223 + LC brass, H'dy varmint bullets, .22 LR, .270 Wby, 7mm STW, 7mmx 57 .. factory loads, not mine.

Gee, I wish I could get some of this out to you guys and cheap or I'm a d__ liar. :oops:

Not me. I'm a capitalist. Just sold another thousand .223's for 700 bucks (my 3rd sale to friends and family). 70 cents a round. Store prices are just under a buck if you can find them...and I have them trained now, they pick up the brass and I get it back so I can reuse it, clean (wet tumble), anneal, FL resize, prime, charge and seat new pills and sell again. I have very hungry family members and a gob of components. That don't include all the other stuff I run like 460 S&W, 300 WinMag, 45LC, 7.62 x 54, 338 Lapua, 44RM and some others.

Life is good, wallet is fat and yes, a few large ammo cans full for my personal use too.

Reminds me of the time when I owned 3 useless AK47's. That was back during the Obama years and I sold all 3 in the parking lot of a local gun show for 4 times what I paid for them, in cash plus 4 ham cans of Wolf steel jacketed 7.62 x 39. What a junk gun but then one man's floor is another's ceiling. When you can buy a junk gun for 300 bucks and sell it for 1200 bucks, it's a good day. Times 3 at the same time is like wining the lottery.

Haven't even bothered to look to see what is available or not available. Don't need to.

Didn't 'hoard' anything. Just bought more than I needed, each time I ordered supplies. Never could see buying a pound of powder or a couple boxes of primers when the haz mat fee was the same for a pound or 20 pounds or a couple boxes or a full brick (primers) or multiple bricks. Same with bullets. Quantity was (probably not now) cheaper than buying a box or 2. Always bought my bullets in full cases which was usually 500 or 1000 at a time.

Little did I know what was going to transpire, I'm not a fortune teller, but after Obama, I got gun shy so to speak. Glad I did.

All good here. No need to see what is available or not as it's all available to me.

Wife bought a full case of oatmeal last year and I thought I'd never eat it all but alas, I've developed a fondness for oatmeal cookies so that case is dwindling.

Last year the stores were running out of rice. No 1 pound bags. I like rice. So I went to an Asian market store here in town and bought a 50# bag of rice. I transferred it to canning jars and vacuum sealed them. Today, we only have a few pounds left. Wife thought I was nuts back then. She was surprised we ate it all so fast.

I get emails from "grab a gun" and the prices are insane... most pistols are up $100 from pre rona times, apparently they are getting .22LR back in, not that I need any, but $10 for 50 rounds of Thunderbolt that "used to be" $12/500 20 years ago or $20ish/500 a couple years ago

I'd ask $.20/rd for .22 LR, $.30/rd for .22mag & .17 HMR, dollar/rd for the .270 Wby & 7mm STW, $12 for 50-box of .40 S&W FMJs, $30/case for the 20 Ga skeet ammo, $400 case of either Win or PMC XM-193s. Does that sound like too much?

Unrelated but, if you're 'into' oatmeal (or anything else that needs to be stirred without lumping) then I'd look to buying a "spurtle".

No, I didn't misspell. "Spurtle". A 15th Century, Scottish, stirring device. It looks like a wee 'billy club'. (y)

It works with rice too, Mossman.

Why would anyone buy guns or ammo for them (especially guns with removable clips or semi auto guns) when the prevailing winds are gun confiscation?

Yeah, I see that lady hawking her spurtles on TV at night. (sounds kinda naught, if you ask me). We've got 4 wooden spatulas and spoons. She says I can throw them all away if I just buy the 4 spurtle set. :unsure:
