You don't just shut down a tightly interconnected global economy and then start it up again. You sure as shit don't play the start, stop, start game with your logistics, either. Supply chains are going to be a mess for years. You don't need to be a hoarder, and playing the buy-and-resell game is a dick move (and a moral plane fail), but I'd suggest keeping stocked as best you can for at least a one-month timeframe. That means two months' worth of essentials, which you rotate through.

Most household supplies at Costco are already sold in month-size (or larger) bundles.

  Depends on the size of your household. Add in kids, and you burn through stuff really quick. The key thing is to (a) only buy stuff you actually use; and (b) rotate it.

    Costco packs are 36 rolls. You'd need to go through more than 1 roll a day on average. Definitely possible, but not typical pace, even with kids.
