What were the dumb things you did in 2020 to prevent COVID? - Lemmy.World

I went to the expensive grocery store. I had to keep working the entire time. When I went to my usual store after work, I’d have to wait in line to enter the store just to find out the horders bought everything again. The horders didn’t go to the expensive store, so I didn’t have to wait in line and most of the time I could find everything I needed.

I bought a house 6 months before lockdown.

I bought a super huge pack of charmin toilet paper at BJs. My ex bought a super huge pack of charmin toilet paper at BJs.

We had a laugh about all of our toilet paper.

As a joke I bought 2 more huge packs, because we had room and it was an inside joke. Then lockdown happened.

Toilet paper became a commodity.

I JUST (December 27th to be precise) ran out of the pre-covid toilet paper stocks we had.

Bulk non-perishables is always the way to go. I think my family buys tp, garbage bags, light bulbs etc maybe once every two years.
How do you go though so many light bulbs?? I haven’t had a single one fail in the past 2 years

We use incandescent bulbs as heaters to keep water pipes from freezing in the winter. When put in a brooder lamp housing they’re safer than dedicated space heaters on a thermostat.

We usually go through 8-10 100w bulbs a year across the three pump houses and crawl spaces We have to maintain. Running continuously they only have a life span of a couple months.

Very unusual situation of course. Idk i think we last bought LED’s for the actual inside of the house maybe 5 years ago lol.
