Every time we went to Costco for a couple of months we couldn't remember if we had paper towels, so we bought some. We'd get home to put them away in the attic, and...D'oh!
We didn't need to buy paper towels literally for two years or something, so every time we went to Costco, we had to remind ourselves "We've got enough paper towels to last the rest of our lives."
Which, of course, was not true, as we discovered when we used the last roll and popped a head up into the attic to get another, and there were none, because we'd just been to Costco and talked ourselves out of buying more.

Sometimes you can't win for losin'.
