#1 I had an aunt who had survived the Great Depression. She kept a second floor bedroom in her farmhouse for canned goods and expendable items. Two years was her rule of thumb, donating some dated items to charity from time to time then replacing.

At her estate sale in 1990, relatives found 91 roles of TP. Someone handed me a roll to take home. Many of them chuckled. I did not. I kept the roll in a plastic bag for many years. "Prepper" or plain old common sense. You decide.

#4 We purchased a cases of precooked:
canned beef with BB Date of 2026+.
Ham with BB Dates of 2026+,
Chicken with 2026+,
Sardines 2008+, etc...

But the ammo, is what will allow us to keep it.

BB Dates I have found are more taste than a expire Date. With usually many many months of good to use after that.

#8 Way back in 1990 I was in Beaverton, Oregon working on the design of a TP mill. One week a group of Russians came in and spent the week studying our design, They bought a lot of TP to take home.
