3. Cat litter?

I might be biased because I have five cats and have to buy cat litter every time I'm anyplace that sells it.

Other ideas:

cards to tell all the people you can't see during the pandemic that you miss them and are thinking about them.
coffee. Because always coffee, similar to always cat litter.
chocolate. (See cat litter and coffee.)
necessities like tp or deodorant
Something fun and not a necessity, like sunglasses
If you have all the fun things and necessary things you need, donate it to a homeless shelter or someone who really needs it. Or buy things to donate to a food pantry, although $10 probably won't buy much food at Walgreens.

...when they have it on sale, which is about once a month. I am a "member" so I can get sale stuff.

Oh they don’t work, but very tasty. I always have them around, because I just might cough.
