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.

Can't get my partner to do this. They are too worried about "saving money/we don't need it (now)". For heavens sake, I'm not saying buy a spare house; just pick up an extra tube of toothpaste!

Spare tube of toothpaste? In this economy?

[–] Subverb@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Right? Look at Mr. Moneybags over here that can afford toothpaste. I use hand soap as toothpaste and I'm glad to have it.

I've been trying to remember all the little folks since I've become so fabulously wealthy, but it just doesn't seem worth it anymore. /s
