What surprising thing have you been stocking up on (that isn’t toilet paper)?

What do you have more of than you ever expected to want?

despite not having grocery delivery for several weeks at the beginning of the shutdown, I now have a stuffed pantry and freezer. I think I have over 24 bagels, because I kept ordering them, not paying attention to what was accumulating in the freezer. I finally went through and organized things so I could see what's there - and it's a lot

the same with clam chowder. I like it for an easy, comforting meal, and while I had a couple cans at the start, ate them up. when I could order again, they kept substituting other forms - same company, and they may be tasty, but I wanted to have the 'right' stuff at hand - so now I have like nine (or more) cans, as well as six of the 'wrong' versions. I think I'll donate those. there's a 'food & goods' box (like a Little Free Library) not far away, and I think I'll maybe take those to share - as well as some cans of tuna, which were substituted for the pouches I prefer. I've now got lots of those again, so clearing a few things out to share with others seems like a good idea

Wow, that is a wealth of bagels and clam chowder. Accumulating plenty of comfort food makes sense to me, as does passing it on when you have more than enough and it will go to help people who need it.
