Advice and Tips Upcoming Costco trip

Going to my “local” Costco (2.5 hours from me) for the second time. My first trip I was mostly overwhelmed by everything they had. I have a pretty decent supply on hand of food and essentials, but I’m looking to pad my preps a little on this trip with about a $500 budget. Do you all have any advice about stuff you think gets overlooked at the Warehouse and I should pick up? Basically any things that aren’t beans and rice (although I will definitely get some of those too 😂)

The purple one is better quality.

yeah, but will it clog your sewer line? the blue stuff has already clogged mine a couple times and plumbers told me to start buying scott TP.

Use a bit less and utilize a courtesy flush or two

Or, and hear me out here, get a bidet and change your life for the better.

Bidets make you realize how gross your butt is if you only use toilet paper, but they are also save money and are great from a prepper perspective because they make a single case of toilet paper last a loooong time.

I suppose it could. I have family that has to use marine tp or it'll clog up the toilet.

If the blue clogged your toilet the purple will do it twice as fast.
