Essential Household Items

[Cyclonepride]

My wife has the most complete collection of odd utensils and kitchen/toiletry gear I've ever seen. Never once has someone asked if we had something and turned out that she didn't. It's almost supernatural.

Agreed, they are much more versatile in use than TP is. You can wipe your butt with a paper towel but try cleaning up a spill with TP and see how far a roll will get you.

ahhh...yeah, but you can likely clog your toilet trying to flush paper towels. No one wants that.

TP by a nose....

One reason you may need spare toilet paper at home is when the wife goes shopping a decides to get cheap on the type of toilet paper she buys. There are certain things that it's fine to try to save a buck on, but toilet paper is not one of them. I was not pleased.

You got a french fry cutter?

Help me compile a list of essential items you always make sure you have backups of in your house. Mine currently are: Toilet paper, toothpaste, and deodorant. (This post may be related to a recent marital discussion) The wife recent chastised me for asking her to pick up deodorant for me immediately upon opeing my back up. She also can't understand why I would want multiple back up deodorants in the storage closet.

Schedule these from Amazon subscribe and save and you'll never run out.

Should go without saying...

When we were dating, my wife did this. She was so poor (living off a grad student stipend) that she didn't really have a choice.


Bringing her the Costco size Charmin pretty much ensured she was mine forever.

I do not know (I barely notice when new things appear). Possibly?

We can definitely tell the dominant demographic of CycloneFanatic. Twenty-seven posts so far and not one has mentioned pads or tampons.

If you have infant children plenty of diapers and supplies on hand. Haven't personally had the problem but last thing you want is to be home alone with the kid and they have a blowout and find that you are out of diapers and/or wipes and have to improvise.

Just use a Cubs shirt.

I guess you could say that you really wiped her off her feet.

having a one size cloth diaper on hand is another good solution to this. Also, 2 dozen prefolds. Because prefolds are the duct tape of baby world. Use them for everything.

On the porch? Under a rock in the yard? In an undisclosed third-world country?

We're too classy and respectful to mention those types of private items.

Remember when toilets had real flushing power? Nowadays, everything has to go down using about 3 tablespoons of water and your bare hand.

Just how much TP you need to wipe with? Would say you have a bigger problem if you are clogging your toilet if you have to improvise with paper towel
