The Great Toilet paper shortage
Well it seems something spooked the herd...
The folks that have spent a lot of time talking about people that might buy a little bit of extra stuff to keep on hand have now started to panic.....
I received a call from my sister yesterday and my daughter and it seems that all the TP and most of the paper towels is gone from the shelf in 3 counties....
My thoughts would have been to maybe buy extra food , maybe some water ,but it seems once again the sheeple have got it backwards ..
It's going to be something to watch just need to remember to get out of the way when they start to stampede.....

Dave, I've got tuck loads of TP, it'll take me 20 years before I run out. If you need some let me know.
$20.00 a roll, is that considered price gouging.

Re: The Great Toilet paper shortage
My one daughter went to a couple of stores yesterday and was telling me that the two stores she went to had bare shelves when it came to toilet paper, paper towels, napkins and kleenex. She said there were signs stating that there will be no returns on any paper products, including paper plates and paper cups.
People must be hoarding even more now, sooooooo, she stopped over to get a 24 pack of angle soft from us, what's a dad to do.

Re: The Great Toilet paper shortage
We just dipped into our 14 y/o TP stash, for the first time, yesterday. I haven't looked in local stores (only been to the grocery store once, in 3 weeks and that was for Easter dinner ham). Read on our 'Nextdoor' neighborhood page that some stores are starting to have it. TP, paper towels & napkins are all good in our house. And I have fabric alternatives for all, too!

Re: The Great Toilet paper shortage
Here in AR, the earliest signs of abatement are showing. I was confused when I saw Scott TP on the shelf, but only in the 36 roll package (that would be almost 9 months for the wife and me).
Then my wife mentioned that the 36 roll packages may have been originally meant for restaurants, or schools.

Yup. I read somewhere (here?) that there are restaurant sizes showing up in some stores to get rid of that stock. Actually is a favorable thing for long-term storage items for those of us who want it!TRex2 wrote:Here in AR, the earliest signs of abatement are showing.

Re: The Great Toilet paper shortage

Talk among some women I know is that those container ships lined up off the coast of Long Beach hold vast amounts of Charmin.
