I bought a decade's worth of TP back then, because I had my daughters at home, a wife, and her daughter.

I didn't buy TP again until last year. The price change floored me. I made out on buying in bulk back then.

Same for .22LR. I still have multiple thousands of rounds bought for about $0.60/box.

I'm not going to complain. ;)

Given the policy of gradual inflation and sometimes inflation that is not so gradual, stockpiling things you’d actually use that don’t degrade over time isn’t nearly the cause for mockery that it has tended to be. If you’ve got the funds to spare and the space to do it, it probably “paid” better than putting the money in a savings account over the same period.

I call BS. I have a wife, and judging by the rate in which she goes through toilet paper, then multiplying by four for the presence of at least four women in your household, you'd have to had to had bought at minimum 2 truckloads of TP in order for it to last 13 years.

The math doesn't lie.
