I swear, even people who are lactose intolerant and allergic to eggs buy milk and eggs. And they'll buy toilet paper even if they went to Costco a week ago and bought several Costco sized packages.
And think about it. If the power goes out, do you really want a bunch of eggs sitting around and spoiling?
Easy answer. You eat the bad eggs and sour milk and then need the toilet paper.
I always laugh at the idiots that run out and buy shovels, generators, snowblowers, and salt. When December came around, none of them said "hey, let's get out our winter stuff and see what we need"? And where is last year's shovel?
Last year my snowblower's belts were showing their age. I put on the calendar when to buy them, ordered them, and installed them in November, and tested it out (same time I winterize my lawn mowers and weedwackers). Even then I was almost caught off guard by the late November snow we got, but it melted in days and we've had only one storm worth snowblowing since, and it was barely enough.
I have over 9,000 posts on "another forum", which means absolutely nothing. Mr. Beer January 2014 Brewer of the Month with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with it...
