For me, it's guns..... and pocket knives.
My hobby is shooting, reloading, and it used to include hunting as the end game... don't do very much hunting anymore, though. I've carried pocket knives since I was about 10 or so....
I see a particular firearm and think, now THAT would be fun to work up a good load for, and it would be great for pig hunting! (see above
)
For those not into guns, this is much like the gathering of tools for every purpose... or, a pair of shoes for every outfit.... and one .22 rimfire handgun is just not enough. I need 5 or 6 of them to fill different niches....
As is with most other hobbies, I could likely get by perfectly well with maybe 4 or 5 total... one for each perceived need, but... it's not about need....
Pocket knives are the same.... I could very likely get by with only one, but why limit myself if I don't have to? Variety being the spice that it is....

Oooooh, this is a really big gun! BLAM! $3 gone. I could have bought a nice coffee...

I know the can has apparently been kicked down the road (contract negotiations in January?), but when there was all that talk about the big port strike, I picked up another couple "Infinity" packs at Costco -- just in case.
And I like how you call some of your stash "very high quality stuff". I buy the cheap stuff (but it HAS to be at least 2-ply,) but if I want "the good stuff" (Charmin extra quilted,) I head on over to my parent's.

Thank you for mentioning pens!!! How could I forget?!
As someone who has been writing snail mail all her life (and still does!) along with always writing analog notes for herself, I have entire boxes of pens (but I'm trying to be good and use them up before I buy more!!) ARGH!!! The temptation!!
I especially love the bright colors and variations (Metallic! Neon! Bright pastel! Glitter!) of gel pens -- and isn't it funny how sometimes, just sometimes, the no-name cheapiest of the cheap pens are of better quality than the ones that cost $5+ or more?!
Have you ever gotten into fountain pen writing? I was watching a few YouTube channels for a while... The inks you can get look SO cool, especially when shaded with gold or silver... But after buying a cheap starter pack of disposable fountain pens, I didn't like the way they scratched into the paper unless you hold them JUST RIGHT.
I also didn't like all the hassle of converters and changing ink wells -- it just all seemed like too much work and expense.
Sometimes, a writer just wants to pick up a pen -- or keyboard -- and GO!

It was sure nice during the COVID shortage. I'm hearing about people not being able to get toilet paper and panicking (don't blame them) while I'm sitting on a mountain of it. Back then when we were in our old home we had tons of storage space and I bought in bulk when prices were favorable. TP didn't end up on my shopping list until about 2 years after the initial COVID shutdown.
