Yes, that would be 38 6-pks of toilet paper stacked on my kitchen counter. After I got them all upstairs and organized, I actually found more at a little bit better price at another store. So what did I do??? BUY MORE OF COURSE! Yes, 20 more 6-pks of toilet paper. Here's a few pics of our "not so little" linen closet stocked full of toilet paper and paper towels.
So you're asking yourself who in their right mind would buy this much toilet paper right? That's 348 double rolls or 696 single rolls of toilet paper! Well, first of all, it was a great price, almost a full $1.50 - $2.00 lower than you can buy at Walmart currently. Secondly, this not only covers our family for a full year, but beyond. If you've been watching at how fast prices are going up quickly, you can understand how I'm all for not having to pay extra for toilet paper for as long as possible.
And before you get concerned, this is not the only thing that I have a years supply of. My family will be able to eat, stay clean, and keep our house clean for a full year. So, it's not as if we're only prepared on the one end (no pun intended).
But seriously, after seeing how so many natural and man-made disasters are happening all over the world, it feels good to know that should anything happen, my family is somewhat prepared. Our church strongly encourages everyone to have a good year supply of food, clothing, and other necessities in order to make sure each of our families are able to survive for an extended period of time.
SO STOCK UP AND SAVE! I once read that if you aren't getting strange looks at the store when you are stocking up, then you aren't buying enough. I was getting plenty of strange looks as I was buying all of this, so I guess I can feel confident that I bought enough.
GO PREPAREDNESS!

haha I love it! You are making me look bad here! So prepared you are! I am actually jealous, if something does happen, you will definetely be prepared, and that is what they always say, BE PREPARED! Thank you for being such a great example to me, without you, I probably wouldn't think too much about any of this food storage stuff. Good job, and yes, holy toilet paper! hah Love ya!
Every time I buy toilet paper, Rob asks if we don't have enough yet ... but a year's supply is really a lot! You're doing a great job. I need to do some other stocking-up, on cleaning supplies and such. We're set for a few months, but probably not a year. Thanks for the reminder!
AWESOME! I too am jealous of how prepared you are and strive to follow your good example.
He he he! You make me laugh! You are so good at being prepared. I only hope that one day, I can be like you! And yes, like everyone else, I'm jealous. I think I have one roll left in my cupboard of toilet paper so I better get on the train of buying more! :)
K- Where did you buy it that much cheaper? I need to re-commit to stocing up again. I did so good for awhile and then money went to other places for awhile. Now I need to get back at it.
It was on sale at Albertson's and Walgreen's. Unfortunately, it's off sale now, but if you watch the ads, you can probably see it go on sale again.
Hey.. can I have your address? That way if there is a natural disaster, I know just where I'm headed. Seriously. I'm on my way. I'll bring my measly food storage with me... ok?
