What do you wish you had hoarded?

I wish we had bought more Clorox Wipes and Charmin toilet paper. We have enough toilet paper now, but we had to buy the Kirkland brand. My SO prefers Charmin. Yes, I know. He should just be happy we found 2-ply paper!! But we only have one jar of wipes. Haven’t seen any in over a month.

ETA - Just T, toilet paper is getting easier to find over here. Costco usually has quite a bit couple of times a week. And they are in stock for several hours.

I wish I would have stocked up on yeast. It's about the only thing I can't get at my grocery store now.

Diet Coke.

A month ago, I stocked up on paper goods, cleaners, and toiletries. I've been building up my freezer and pantry ever since. And I get 3-5 dinner kits delivered every week. But I find that I am needing a grocery run more often than I would like because I run out of diet Coke. And I can't live without diet Coke. There is only so much you can put in your cart without looking like a freak/throwing your back out. Damn this addiction!!

Can you try an Asian or Indian grocery? They usually have a ton stocked, and huge bags. We went to the Indian grocer about a week before things went crazy and they had tons, and they usually don't have the mass amount of customers that a regular grocer would have.

I wish I had grabbed that three pack of wipes instead of a single container. There are still other cleaners available that will have to suffice.

DH uses paper towels for everything. I'm wishing I grabbed another package or at least the jumbo package instead.

So far, I haven't had a problem with anything else. Availability of things I need right now or will need soon is increasing.

Before this started we had driven to Seattle and visited a trader joes. They make my favourite flour - white whole wheat flour but they were out. I can’t find it in Canada. I wish I’d stock piled whole wheat bread flour and whole wheat pastry flour or even whole wheat all purpose flour. Instead I was waiting to go back to trader joes. Now those types of flours are hard to find. Also, I thought I had a lot of white sugar but now I’ve gone through half and can’t find more to buy. I wish I’d bought more sugar. I got brown sugar at Costco on Thursday so that can be a sub in baking if necessary.

I thought I had a lot of dry red lentils but now we’re almost out and I can’t get them anymore.

I can get the huge bags but it’s more than I can store. I need ten pounds, max. Our Asian markets have 25+ lb bags but not smaller ones.

Hand sanitizer. I volunteer with Meals on Wheels and I would love to give each driver a bottle right now. I did find some online yesterday, we'll see how long it takes to get here.

Not so much hoarded but I wish we had organised a web cam for my parents. At a relatively early stage my brother searched everywhere for a camera and had no luck. It would have been an extra welcome addition to their lockdown if we could have all communicated visually.

Can't you just leave the bag out for now? I don't have any storage or pantry in my house, we use two cabinets for all of our food. Right now I have two large plastic bins holding our extra food because we don't really have the room to store it, but for now it's better than having to go out too often and then not getting what we need when we do go out.

Just T, I don’t know if Dollarama stores are open but I think they might sell dish soap.
