I confess I have a closet full of TP. But at least my edibles are freeze dried eggs, freeze dried cheese, freeze dried sour cream, freeze dried butter, freeze dried milk (Dairy is my love language) and dried beans and lentils...so should be okay for a while....

@Heather B, with all the freeze-dried dairy, I take it you'll be going into a space capsule to wait out the nuclear winter. (May I suggest you re-think the beans?)
Incidentally, here's a prepper tip my daughter gave me a few years ago. It's possible to put dry beans (2/3C) in a pint jar, add water to 1" headspace and put the jars in a pressure canner for 75-85 min. (I mix black beans, black-eyed-peas and garbanzos and a tbsp of a custom chili-powder mix.)
She hooked me with this scenario: say the shat has hat the finn AND it's below-freezing AND there's a sleet blizzard AND the only firewood is two miles uphill both directions AND there's only one match left AND "It sure would be _easier_ if %somebody% had thought AHEAD and we could just eat cooked beans, cold, out of a jar." I converted every dry bean I could find into ready-to-eat, and now I have some to trade for freeze-dried cheese, if I could figure out how much beans for which parts cheese. I assume the good will have died young as they do, and the rest of us that are left will thus be the dregs of the race with predictable consequences so "trading" might be wishful thinking.
I hate the scenario you described...but great tip on the beans....I've got lots of stuff to trade if necessary...mostly dairy 😂 jk Iots of other stuff too..
Dog food is a good idea. There has to be some point at which it, suddenly, looks appealing. (Has anyone done the cost analysis to determine if the kind that "makes its own gravy" is worth the premium?)

Did you freeze dry yourself?
no I bought it all on amazon

😂 Those aren't for me. My husband loves them....
...and you--clearly--love your husband.
