Marcella, I know that I can have a three year supply of bathroom tissue on hand, femininie supplies or dish soap....
But I am also thinking of how I can substitute if the dark ages hit.
“But I am also thinking of how I can substitute if the dark ages hit.”
Of what would your dark ages consist? Tell me and we’ll fix it.
I am so glad that I'm a single man. Life is much easier.
Back when the girls were young and I had a wife in the house, I had a 10 year supply of TP on hand at all times (for me, anyway, for them maybe a couple of years).
I still have sanitary napkins in bulk that the youngest sometimes comes by and raids. She claims my grand-daughter will use up the rest of them.
Soap, I can make, if required.
Romans used a natural sponge on a stick instead of TP. Never tried it, never intend to.

Feminine supplies - birdseye baby diapers, the unsewn kind, fold together (maybe cut in half, I can’t remember) and pin them inside underwear. When taking off to use a new one, immediately soap in cold water. If you wash them carefully, they work just fine.
TP - get a plastic ketchup bottle or similar device, wash the area instead of just using TP, and then dry off with old wash cloths which you wash frequently.
Dish soap - just store a lot! I stretch mine with water and often add white vinegar to the dish water.
