Even though we no longer have COVID shortages, I am still keeping an above-average stock of essentials like cookies, coffee & toilet paper.
Perhaps I should start digging for my bunker.
Glad it isn't just me. I've been keeping an inventory overstock in the house since January 2020.
I wasn't one of those "buy all the toilet paper" people, but I did see the shutdowns and shortages coming back when Covid was first a thing in the news. At that time I started buying one more of things we normally got anyhow.
Over the last 3 years I've developed a useful inventory system. "Just in time" failed, so now my system is "just in case."
@Mathias I'm almost done with all the canned goods we bought in early 2020. Still have some tomato paste and canned fruit to use up. TP we keep buying large amounts of, but hey, it's not like it's going to sit around for three years, unused, like the canned goods.
@Mathias we're doing the same.

Ditto - I think COVID has aggravated my tendency to hoard…🙄
