Will need some flushable wipes within the next few weeks but can easily live without if needed.


These were in stock in huge numbers with no TP available. I got like 4 4-packs.

I'm in Brooklyn and had thought the toilet paper thing was kind of a joke on this board since every supermarket/dollar type store around me is and has been overstocked with TP from the beginning of this.

Pasta, Chicken Broth and gourmet sausage packs are the main supermarket items that have been wiped out, restocked with 2 per customer limits and immediately out again.

I drink it some.


I drink it A LOT. I love milk. Can drink it with ANYTHING.

I was going to Taco Casa for Taco Tuesday. Where I pull in at a light there is an ALDI. There were only five cars in the lot. I pulled in to check it out - had never been there.

I was looking around and saw some cheap arse - $1.29 chocolate chip cookies and $.88 peanut butter filled cookies. Picked them up to try.

I also got black pepper $2.15 for a big container, crackers for .75 and a gallon of milk.

There was a friendly Mexican guy with long hair when I walked in who was loading the freezer section. I didn't really expect to buy anything but maybe a loaf of bread which they were out of.

I had a few items that were hard to carry so I asked if I could take one of his boxes. He was happy to part with it and looked at what I had. He said all of the items are "Twice as Nice" and if I didn't like them I would get my money back and another item of equal value to try.

He kept pointing at the peanut butter cookies and telling me I will LOVE them. He may be right, I haven't tried them yet. But the chocolate chip cookies that cost $1.29 for the same exact size as the smaller Chips Ahoy packages (13 ounces) are freaking awesome. They are every bit as good if not better than the Nabisco cookies.

Going to have to buy a lot of milk to go with my cheap-arse cookies.

I used to drink 2 gallons per week by myself when I was younger. I'm currently trying to slim up the 42 yr old dad bod a bit so it was an easy thing to cut way back on.

This household is not one that waits until it is low on toilet paper to replenish. We have not bought toilet paper or paper towels in months and are still good to go for months.


Same. I'm surprised by the amount of people who had to stock up on TP. I guess maybe I could see if you're a single college-aged dude you might only buy 6 rolls at a time, but a full time working adult? Weird.

Me too. some weeks, even now, I drink a lot of milk, other weeks I don't.

I do have milk in my frig at all times. There are just some things I won't eat without milk.

Like peanut butter and crackers, PB&J's, pork chops and white bread or mashed potatoes, the easiest roast & mushroom gravy in the world among many others including pretty much every breakfast food that exists.

If people weren't nuts we wouldn't see this craziness and the delivery would be keeping up.

Yes it is. The perfect definition for living by the seat of your pants.

We never come close to running out of any paper goods - plates, paper towels, TP. It is so much cheaper to buy in bulk. And it is peace of mind to not have to shop for it if it is even almost low. We don't play that game - when it gets close to opening the last pack of 18 mega rolls = 72 regular rolls it goes on the shopping list and usually before it is every opened there are two more brand new packs in the bathroom closets.

All else fails, one can use that white bread in lieu of TP.
