Buying another box, bag, etc. of soap, toilet paper, tooth paste and whatever long lasting product before it runs out. It doesn't expire (fast), therefore I always have a second, full bag as a buffer, and as soon as I have to open the second one, I put it on the shopping list so there is always a buffer bag and I don't get annoyed if I still forget to buy one or it's out of stock.

It's been years since I had to use some weird substitute for toilet paper.

It’s the old prepper adage: two is one, one is none.

But three is two, and two is one, with one is none, then I need to buy four more. But wait there’s more; because five is four!
