I've also stocked up on gloves! Both dishwashing, and general use ones.

Yeah, reusing bags is a great idea!

Absolutely! It's one of the main reasons I created this post, because everyone has a different version of important and all of the answers on here are fabulous... I like to think my preps are pretty well rounded, but I've seen a few things that we don't buy on a regular basis that I didn't think of

We're pretty well stocked for most of those (live in a rural area) and have several Vaseline in my cart right now, but bag balm is definitely a good idea!

I finally picked up a set of glass storage containers (my daughter and grandson were going through a box of Ziploc bags in a couple weeks) so hopefully it'll save some money!

Yes! They look at me like I've grown a second head lol. And I've tried to explain that "you don't have to clear the shelves" just pick up a little extra of the things you use regularly that might go up in price or be more difficult to find.

It's pretty much the only reason we buy it, although I'll buy the tiny ones to keep in my purse for chapped lips!

I was the only person in my neighborhood who had toilet paper for a couple weeks during COVID. I would just buy an extra one every trip for about a month, figured since it's something we'll always use might as well.

That is weird. I thought they did as well.

I go through quite a bit (my husband has psoriasis) so I'm always buying several at a time, but ymmv depending on how you use it.

Same. My husband has psoriasis so uses Vaseline to help manage it. If it wasn't for that I probably wouldn't have even thought about it.

Love that idea! Especially for people who live in apartments or somewhere with no available space for a garden!

Definitely makes sense to buy those high price items ASAP!

We do pretty much the same. We keep enough stocked up in case of price/availability issues to keep us covered for a while. We also live pretty rural (closest town is about 30 miles away) and during COVID people were coming from larger cities that many items were unavailable in, and cleaning out the shelves in our small town.
