The brief toilet paper panic might be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. I saw people buying hundreds of rolls late last week. Shelves empty.

I haven't tried to buy anything specifically related to the virus but I'm glad I get my TP delivered by Amazon now

this is EXACTLY the situation where Kmart used to come in

they used to have major stock of bottled water the day OF a hurricane

you gotta get creative and go to your shops in more uneducated areas of town. dollar trees, dollar generals, family dollars, etc.

Amazon seems to be gouging on hand sanitizers currently.

Convenience. Soap requires water and a drying method. Sanitizer is self contained.
You can keep it in the car or pocket and sanitize if needed without access to a restroom.

It’s good to have in situations where you aren’t gonna stop and find a sink and wash your hands.

It’s quicker and easier.


But....for certain situations...washing with soap and water is always better. Example....if your hands are visibly soiled....hand sanitizer won’t do any good. Just will push around the dirt on your hands.

Is it Amazon or a third party seller through Amazon? If third party, report them
And Amazon will shut them down. They’ve been shutting down tons of gougers.

Hopefully people realize you should still wash your hands and NOT just use hand sanitizer after going to the bathroom.

Where have you been since 2008?

I’ve always overdosed on ellipses in my posts

Lowe's has plenty of a lot of that shite. It costs more, but it's there.

I just hired a old oilfield baw with a mixing tank.

We gonna get a tote tank of 99% isopropyl, and 100 pounds of powdered aloe vera. We got a garden hose, a mixing tank, and a mess of old empty milk cartons.

We will sell it from his shrimp stand on Highway 90.

Profit!!!!!!!!!

Y'all come by. We will be up and running tomorrow.

Also running a $9.99 special on some 21/25s.

I had to buy some this week cause I was running low and didn’t want anyone seeing my shopping cart and thinking I’m one of those idiots panicking.

ETA: I felt like I needed to tell the cashier “no I really need toilet paper”

Masks are the same way. I couldn't find a mask one the past two days, and now I'm cutting plywood with an old bandana with sticky side out duct tape wrapped around my head.

Buy rubbing alcohol (at least 90% strength) and aloe vera gel.

Mix 2 cups rubbing alcohol with one cup aloe vera gel.

That's all there is to it.

Don't be stupid and use vodka, it doesn't have enough alcohol.



LOL, all 3 of my local WalMarts are our of rubbing alcohol and aloe vera.

Looks like the neckbeards have found a new gig.
