They're made in a special way to make sure they're heat-resistant, so it seems safe to me.

Also, my small, portable washing machine. Total life changer! |
I did not know this existed, so thank you!

At this point in my life, I'd have a hard time living without Carmit Mint Chocolate bars. I actually prefer them over milk chocolate! Nuts, I know. https://rocklandkosher.com/#!/hb/c/11387-0/c/11432-11387/c/11568-11432/r/21785/he/Monsey/kosher-groceries/kosher-candy-sweets/kosher-chocolate-bar//carmit-ago-dark-mint-chocolate-bar-3-oz
And frozen fruit. Lots of it. I eat it by the bowlful. (It's healthier than slurpees!)

I did Dipsy Doodles every day from that bodega around the corner from the subway on my way home from work with my oldest. The bodega owner and I were best buds.

Yes! After years of putting off painful laundromat trips, I do ALL my laundry (except giant comforters and blankets) in my bathroom with my little Giantex. It's about 2' x 2', fully automatic. I use some of the grey water to water my plants:) I am now one of those people who doesn't ljke to let the laundry pile up

St. Ives apricot face scrub. I know it's a little aggressive for some, but it's the only thing that makes my face feel really clean.

Toilet paper. Any brand, any size, any type. Most other things I could probably improvise or do without. in the forest one may use leaves but as an urban urchin, I can't see buying lettuce to use as a substitute.
Oh, OK. if worst came to worst I could use rags or handkerchiefs and wash them, but I REALLY wouldn't want to have to. If things were so bad--say, a city under siege--the means for washing would probably be scarce as well.

You’ll get answers on both ends. I wouldn’t use them. I wouldn’t cook/heat up food in any kind of plastic, no matter how food safe it claims to be. But I’m crazy... I don’t store food in plastic either

I love those chocolate bars. There's an America's Test Kitchen chocolate cookie that calls for Andes mints to be melted on top. I cut a bar into about 20 pieces and let the piece sit on top and smear that on instead.

Well, chocolate, of course.
But I second zipper bags and - does anyone know where they can be found? I don't need name brand - cleaning wipes.

Oh another thing I thought of now.
Ice cubes! We literally buy them bi-weekly. Our family loves ice cold drinks, pop in some cubes in already cool cup of liquid. Now in the summer, when I wanna avoid too many foxy pops for the kids... Kids: I need a foxy. Me: take water from fridge. Kids: but I'm so hot, I want something freezing. Me: ice cubes and water. They go for it!

I'm going to go a different route, and say built in (not window) air conditioner.
I have this weird condition where I don't regulate my body temperature very well. Once I get chilled it takes me forever to warm up, and once I'm too hot, it's really hard to bring my core temperature down.
This is VERY dangerous for me, because several of the medications that I am on come with a risk of heat stroke, so I have to take that into consideration along with my core temp being hard to control.
I consider an air conditioner to be a medical device.

Probably coffee. Literally can’t relate to the cleaning products answers but then again I tend to hide from the mess instead of clean

I also really like bread bags, produce bags, whatever you want to call them, whether they come from a box or roll. I don't know if I use them cost efficiently, but it's worth it to me. I use them in places I would have used saran wrap, e.g. to cover rising dough. Sometimes I'll rip them open for more surface coverage.
