Does it make sense to buy an entire lifetime supply of toilet paper?

What if you got a deal you could not refuse?

Like half price and free delivery for example?

Would you buy a lifetime supply of TP and stack it in your spare room wall to wall and floor to ceiling?

It does not have an expiry date and you would be immune to future price rises and stock market fluctuations.

In a doomsday scenario you can use it as negotiable currency to trade for food and guns.

You know you will always need it so what if any is the downside to this transaction?

    TERRIBLE IDEA for many reasons, including.

    1) You would have to move al the TP every time you move.

    2) It would be a breeding ground for insects and rats.

    3) The room that would have the TP fill up the room, could be used for better purposes such as guests visiting, brand new babies, etc

    4) What about if there was a fire in the house, that room and its contents would go up in smoke.

    5) The money you might save now, could be better used and invested for more important things

    ETC ETC

    Hoarding. You do not need that much toilet paper. That money could be used for so much better things right now. That spare room could be used for so much better things right now. You might decide to use a bidet or douchette which is healthier and cheaper over the years than toilet paper. The Lord would like us to use our money wisely.

    I stock up on non-perishables, but I think a lifetime supply is too much.. what if you move? You'll have to move all that too. Also, you could (hopefully not) have a flood or fire. Also, if friends, neighbors and family know about it, they will be constantly asking you for it when they run out.
