Trips to town supplement what we can grow or get from the Framer's Markets or trade with friends and neighbors who have surplus home grown foods. I haven't found a way to grow tp yet, unless I use banana leaves. I save them for emergencies.
Mullein, aka the toilet paper plant and campers wash cloth, soft and fuzzy. Grows like a weed here at sea level, not sure in other areas. It has a medicinal constituent that helps heal hemorrhoids and is antibacterial. You can also make a tea from the new leaves of a young plant, excellent for lung congestion from the vog or smoke.
It also can be used as a polstice for poison oak, poison ivy or other plants that make you itch, as well as hornet and bee stings and spider bites. Great stuff.
