What ONE Item you run out of Guarantees a Trip to the Store?

I'll say: Toilet paper. Cigarettes. Beer/Wine/Booze. Most everything else can wait until tomorrow or for your next regular shopping trip.

How about you?

When you run out of this ONE item it GUARANTEES you will make a trip to the store.

Which item is it?

rickey939 · Feb 11, 2006, 05:58 PM

Toilet paper indeed.

nredman · Feb 11, 2006, 06:12 PM

toilet paper & milk

Ozmodiar · Feb 11, 2006, 06:26 PM

Toilet paper and hand soap.

ambush · Feb 11, 2006, 06:29 PM

food. drinkables.

DoctorGonzo · Feb 11, 2006, 06:35 PM

Toilet paper.

I can (and have) made soap, water is free from the well and food I can wait and get "later on.."

BlueSky · Feb 11, 2006, 06:36 PM

Cigarettes

, cat food, apple juice.

Rolling Bones · Feb 11, 2006, 06:55 PM

No "H" means a trip to my fave homey.

nredman · Feb 11, 2006, 07:02 PM

H - Preparation H???

ambush · Feb 11, 2006, 07:03 PM

LOL
Hash?

Tyler, is that you?

Rolling Bones · Feb 11, 2006, 07:14 PM

You guys don't know what "Big H" is?

Sounds like 'carry one'.

ambush · Feb 11, 2006, 07:20 PM

Hookers?

andi*pandi · Feb 11, 2006, 07:37 PM

milk, tp.

RAILhead · Feb 11, 2006, 07:41 PM

Kit-Kats. I only have 3 left.

SSharon · Feb 11, 2006, 08:04 PM

Deoderant is the only thing I will make a special trip for. I hate not having any and everything else I usually keep a decent stock of.

Doofy · Feb 11, 2006, 08:47 PM

Cigs.

And probably toilet rolls if I didn't have about 500 of them in one of my sheds.

greenamp · 09:03 PM

Coffee.

ghporter · Feb 11, 2006, 08:56 PM

TP. Dog/cat food. Milk and/or half&half. Coffee!!!!! I can't think of anything else, and except for TP, order is not significant.

I generally don't worry too much if I run out of wine, and nobody here smokes. But I steadfastly refuse to even attempt to cure my addiction to good quality toilet paper!

TubaMuffins · Feb 11, 2006, 09:23 PM

cigs, red bull. anything that isn't a neccesity seems to be able to wait until I go shopping. It's the luxury items that send me to the store.

BlueSky · Feb 11, 2006, 09:25 PM

It's good to be back at the toilet paper thead. Don't you people have kleenex or paper towels around? I can't relate to making a special trip for tp. But then I never run out.

scaught · Feb 11, 2006, 09:28 PM

jimmy hats.

the 30 count "party pack" just isnt enough for you? you need the box o' lovin 500 pack?

Weyland-Yutani · Feb 11, 2006, 10:31 PM

Cigarettes are the no.1 reason to take an unscheduled, special trip to the store or café. Water and fresh food is no.2

I keep an organized household.

cheers

W-Y

macaddict0001 · Feb 11, 2006, 10:45 PM

My philosophy is that if its that important never run out.

Paco500 · Feb 11, 2006, 10:47 PM

Diapers are about the only thing I can think of.

TP? A box of kleenex can get you through the night.

subego · Feb 11, 2006, 10:53 PM

Just cigs.

As Paco just mentioned, there's always a box of tissues to sub in a TP emergency.

Of course, I don't go out for TP anymore anyways. Drugstore.com rawks!

Rolling Bones · Feb 11, 2006, 11:02 PM

I would have thought this would've been on someone's list!

Or is everyone well stocked with condoms?

rparke1 · Feb 11, 2006, 11:16 PM

LMAO thank you posting that pic!!!! ooooooooo made my day

MM-o4 · Feb 11, 2006, 11:17 PM

milk fo'rizzle. and if I luck up and have no rubbers.

volcano · Feb 12, 2006, 12:28 AM

I'm good about condoms, actually. I usually buy a box when I'm down to 3 or 4, just to be safe.

Top of my list? Cologne. Batteries come in second place, for this fookin' Apple wireless mouse of mine. Third would be water. I buy those 5 gallon jugs of purified water (usually Osarka or Sparkletts) - since I seldom enjoy drinking the water from Lake Travis. It's a relatively cheap alternative, and definitely cheaper than buying bottled water. In fact, I drink a lot more water now because of it.

Paper towels/nasal tissue + septic system = Really Bad And Expensive Day

kernokerno · Feb 12, 2006, 02:51 AM

cigarrettes, tortillas and cheese

sweet - i love cheese but even i dont think i would run out for just that

allblue · Feb 12, 2006, 08:50 AM

Rizlas.

Gamoe · Feb 12, 2006, 09:13 AM

Rolling Bones, is that pic really necessary? I mean, you could have put up a pic of the box, or an unused one, yet you post a picture of a seemingly used and disposed of condom. I find that somewhat distasteful.

qnxde · Feb 12, 2006, 09:20 AM

You seem to be offended at the drop of a hat - perhaps you would feel more at home somewhere else, Mr. Morals?

wide open. qnxde charging infield...he shoots HE SCORES!!!!!

DeathToWindows · Feb 12, 2006, 09:30 AM

coffee. even though here in boston we're in the middle of a ****ing blizzard, I'm likely to make a trip just to get coffee!

ghporter · Feb 12, 2006, 09:56 AM

Isn't "jimmy hat" a code word for condom? If not, what DOES it mean?

Gamoe · Feb 12, 2006, 10:24 AM

Or perhaps your sense of propriety has been greatly impaired by repeated exposure to vulgarity and deteriorating sensibilities. However, I appreciate the implication that I am a moral individual. Thank you.

You're so right on about that one! If nothing else, I think ink has caused more late night, unscheduled trips to the store. Nothing I can think of comes anywhere close. Damn inkjets, have to break down and buy a new laser one of these days. . .

rambo47 · Feb 12, 2006, 12:08 PM

I'd like to say TP or coffee, but in reallity it's whatever the wife says.
