TP Hoarding & Karen were the best two Theriot Dear Diary/Kick Rocks of the past few months.

The conflicting reports on this is beyond exasperating. One poster says the store is completely stocked then someone else will comment that they went to 5 different stores and can’t find any.

I think people are building forts and training dogs to jump over tp walls.

Was at our local Sams Club today. Pallets upon pallets of all paper products.

I mean. That’s kind of how it is here. We have a Kroger, a Meijers, a Costco, and a Target within about a 5 minute drive. Yesterday, Kroger, Target, and Costco were out of paper products and cleaning supplies. Meijers had a full stock of Toilet paper and paper towels. But no paper plates or solo cups.

And none of them have Clorox wipes. I just want my Clorox wipes back. We regularly kept them in our kitchen and bathrooms but now we can’t find them anywhere.

Supplies have been low during all of this and I still can't find hand sanitizer or Clorox wipes but paper products seem to be back around me.

The Walmart neighborhood market at Coursey and Sherwood had 20 different brands of tp the other day when I was there.

Costco BR still feast or famine on TP, goes fast. Albertson's are usually well stocked, especially for what they charge.

Supply chains for most products are improving.

I tell ya one thing I learned: NEVER BUY SCOTT'S ONE PLY!

I panicked shopped in early March and got (what I thought) was a sweet 12 pack of Scott's. Little did I know it was One Ply. Paying the price now.

I ordered Aloe Vera gel from Amazon, then made my own sanitizer by adding 91% Alcohol.

They’ve had mini sanitizers at the registers at CVS and Rouses. I haven’t looked for Clorox wipes though — I clean my kitchen counters with 409 and a washcloth.

My thing is gloves. I use them for deboning chicken, chopping raw meat, mixing anything with my hands that I don’t want under my nails, etc. Found a pack by the checkout at CVS the other day and hoping that wasn’t a fluke going forward because I only got 1 pack.

I got a gallon of bleach the other day and my wife just mixes it with water in a spray bottle. I'm sure that's just as good.

This is crazy. I have bought two 12 packs of TP since this thing started and one of them was like Thursday. People freak out too easy thinking the world is gonna end or something.... I just don’t get it.

Yeah we haven’t bought toilet paper. Had plenty - we are bulk buyers well before this virus.

My SO’s mom has bought a pack every time she sees one “just in case” ( ) so she brought a good bit of it over to us last week. We weren’t close to needing it so at this point we might be stocked through 2020

The variety isn't there anymore but I see plenty of TP when I go to the store now.

Buying in bulk at any point is a good idea for most. But it’s the ones who are nothing but doom and gloom shivering on their couch watching blue blood reruns hoping they don’t have to shite that bothers me......

No more shitting at work means more tp


That's the theory. And the plants that make shitty one ply work TP don't distribute to consumer stores, so there wasn't enough consumer grade or work TP to handle the increased demand of more poops at home.

We had like 80 rolls when this all started. Haven't needed any either. I order a case from Amazon every once in a while. Same for garbage bags, paper towels, laundry detergent etc. Just not cleaning supplies for whatever reason.

If there are two or more females in a house, there is never enough toilet paper.

I'm with you there, Peej. We've had a beautiful spring that we don't usually get down here in Louisiana, and some people are too holed up and frightened to have enjoyed it.
