There's not room in my two-bedroom house in Silicon Valley for bulk versions of normal staples. I do not have a basement or attic. I have two closets; one has my clothes in it, the other is full of my daughter's baby stuff. Toilet paper gets stored under the sink in the bathroom. Does it seem insane to you that I don't have space for bulk toilet paper buys? That I'd actually consider storage space during these types of purchases?

Congrats on your basement, do you think apartment dwellers have basements?
