Gift closet...do you have a room totally dedicated to gift wrapping?  It's a thing, at least in high-end Texas homes.  I have a closet in the office that has a dresser in it.  The dresser has a drawer with gift wrapping paraphernalia and wrapping paper in the corner of the closet. 

20 years ago my husband transformed a bedroom closet (daughter's room after she left home) into a pantry.  I didn't have one in the kitchen.  It contains paper goods, canned and packaged food, pots and pans, and seldom-used appliances.  Lighting isn't an issue.  He installed a fluorescent bar light.

So you live in a "tiny house" (tiny apt)  Those are popular.

SIXTY rolls of tp??? You should look into buying a bidet.  Non-electric ones are not expensive.  You will drastically cut down on tp AND be cleaner/fresher.  You can buy non-electric bidets for under $65.  You'll have a rear wash and a feminine wash.  We replaced both of our high-end electric Toto bidets with non-electric ones a few years ago.  They were $65.  The brand is Luxe.  If you want to go with electric, the sky's the limit and you get instant warm water (vs waiting for the hot water to reach your toilet), a heated seat, a night light, and more.  Not gonna lie, an electric bidet is super nice but for the money, the non-electric definitely gets the job done just without all the bells and whistles.

@monicakm , No it's not tiny, but it is on the smaller side and since it is very old , storage space is at a minimum.

Hi @QVCkitty1   I hear ya!

I over buy sometimes ... well, honestly, many times, esp if it's on a super sale, so I completely understand!

Mine is currently often frozen foods.

I soooo miss my ole med sized upright, freezer.  It finally "bit the dust."    I saved soo much money, buying On Sale items, stocking up.  Open up the freezer, lean over, look in,  it's like shopping at the grocery store.  Feels like "money in the bank." 

@QVCkitty1      Have you ever had a separate freezer?  Maybe you could freeze the your Apple Sauce Cake/Bread.  And hand it out at Christmas as gifts. Wrap it up really well before freezing, & it'll be nice & moist for Christmas/Thanksgiving Hostess or Holiday gifts.

Good luck!

OMG, a bidet! Everybody I know buys toilet paper in good supplies since Covid.

@RetRN 

Hell yeah!  TP & Paper Towels.  Ever since COVID. NEVER AGAIN will be out either, if possible. 

   Paid outrageous $40-$45 for a 6 roll of Paper Towels to Amz (Private Seller).  And I wasnt the only one that paid that price to her!  Just about killed me to pay that.  Lesson learned!
