That was hilarious! The juxtaposition of "end of the world" and "get shopping now" paints a telling picture of our society. On a more serious note, the idea of buying mass quantities of toilet paper, laundry soap, aluminum foil, and a whole bunch of other stuff you use was available in book form way back in 1980. While it can seem silly, I'm betting the stuff in you pantry cost a lot less a few years back than it does today. Just Sayin'

Yes! I just replied with something right along these lines. If there’s a good sale or the price is right I’m stocking up on staples. I don’t think I’ve ever just bought a six-pack of toilet paper, or two cans of beans. It’s a hedge against inflation to stock up.
