We usually get our TP online from whogivesacrap.org and I have plenty for now. But we also have a bidet attachment on every toilet, which helps a lot.

I don't drink regular coffee, just decaf and just once cup/week. So it lasts a long time. But it's time to buy. My hot drink of choice now is ginger tea: a few slices of fresh ginger in hot water. At least for now, ginger doesn't appear to be a hot seller.
