I am stocked up but still adding more.

I have two storage 10x20 where I store stuff I don’t room for and a section in both that is strictly for prep. They are 50 miles apart, so I should be able to reach at least one if have to.

I am stocked for 3 months to support 4 people at my office.

At home I have somewhere between 9 months and a year worth of everything except TP, though we have plenty of that and cut shop towels into wipe sizes. Just need to setup a system for disposal and cleaning of them if that time comes but, I grew in the diaper age and know what to do.

Part of anyone’s prep should be bathroom gloves. Not those cheap yellow ones, though I admit I have about 30 pair, but the strudy blue ones that don’t rip and tear so easily.

I have 15 pair of those and about 100 green scrub pads, which I get Home Depot.

For sponges I buy the 10 pack at Home Depot and have 5 packs of those. Comes in handy when guests are coming and I don’t want them to see an overused sponge.

I just toss the used one and pull out a nice clean one before they come over.

Though I have plenty of tp I've been washing and then throwing my old white 'full of holes' cotton socks in a bucket for the same reason. They also make good all round wipe rags.
