May have to make a trip out in the field with the truck as soon as the corn is harvested.

We don't get to town much, and never really did.
We had what was in the bathroom, and already had couple of the big packs of Charmin.
Not the giant, cart size Wal-Mart has, the not so big ones at the local grocery store.
In the early days, a couple weeks before the shortage, I got two more.
The 2 bathroom cabinets are getting low- but I haven't opened any of the four new packs yet.

Charmin in multiple varieties was available today at the grocery store, apparently no limit and people weren't loading up their carts.

The crisis must be over[smilie=w:, first time we bought any since February, weren't in the looking for leaves mode yet, had enough until July. Bought a single pack of 6 rolls "just because".

Went to the supermarket this morning. All the paper towels you could want. Not a roll of TP to be found.

LOL. I started getting 24 rolls of Amazon Presto per month (we are home full time and use about half that), a couple of months before the "****e hit the pendemic fan", as it were.

I've got the stuff coming out of my a.......... er, ears! [smilie=w:

You know, you can wet a section of paper towel for that bidness. Just don't flush it. Get a covered can in the can!

I still have 2+ cases that I normally keep around. Was in Walmart earlier, yea I know but needed a few things now and not in several weeks, and found a bottle of liquid anti bacterial soap that was hidden in hardware. I bought it[smilie=w:

Desparate times calls for desparate (yeah I know spelling) measures. Actually found distilled water in the local supermarket so bought a bunch. Even found some no name tp and squirreled some away. Frank

I had a jumbo pack of 8 rolls that had 7 left when the virus hit and I heard about the TP panic, so I bought a bulk pack of 12 rolls. I just checked and my girlfriend apparently grabbed the last roll out of the original pack her last night here on Tuesday. So I will officially get into the bulk pack I bought probably Monday.

But, last time I looked, there was plenty of TP at the store. Will probably pick up another bulk pack Sunday so I will have a spare just in case.

It's not a good feeling to realize you don't have extra supplies on hand. I now have a month or two of everything stocked up.

Still working on a Costco bail of TP I bought last year which may last into next year.

It would be nice to think I'm not as full of it as I used to be.

Local Costco's have gotten in the habit of posting out of stock and "one per customer" items up front. Top of the out list: TP

Guess I'll have to get up earlier. Still have enough for some time as I usually but the jumbo packs when they go on sale.

Of all the strange and nightmarish aspects of the Chinese Plague, the T.P.stampede is by far the weirdest . Well it is imported from L.A., lower Arkansas, Crossett to be exact. Curious as to the source of the stampede?

I know this thread was posted up in fun. But seriously, my Wife watches for sales, uses coupons and shops on Senior day for the discounts. She buy stuff like TP that won't spoil in bulk. We have an oversize garage and built cabinets in frown of the parked cars so we have lots of storage. We probably have 6 months or more of Tp, paper towels, cleaning supplies, ect. She also buys steak sauce, ketchup, mustard, jelly, ect in the large bulk packs. Its a pretty large initial investment but at the end of the day we save money this way.

The run on TP was a laughing matter to us!

Told the girlfriend that is why she is spending so much time with me. I still have two unopened bulk packs of tp. [smilie=w:

How many rolls of toilet paper will fit in a 5 gallon bucket and how much will it weight? Can I carry a 5 gallon bucket of TP?

Was in a Walmart over the weekend, plenty of TP to be had, no one was even in the isle buying it...still have month supply maybe.

I went shopping this weekend, plenty of TP, paper towels. The one thing that did surprise me was the shelf of kidney beans was empty.....

Pipefitter, you may have just started a rush on kidney beans. I don't mind but just think of all those folks running around looking for kidney beans. The wife buys things in bulk so about three weeks ago when I rounded up all our TP we had about 140 rolls. Three days ago UPS dropped off a 36 roll case from amazon. She likes to keep a years supply of non perishables and we have three freezers packed with mostly meat. We get dry foods, beans, rice flour and such in bulk and then repack in #10 cans plus she likes to home can fruits, veggies and fish. Gas and diesel are so cheap now that I got a couple of 220 gallon fuel tanks and am filling those with fuel.

Years ago I got caught in a primer shortage so I made sure that I was not going to run out of reloading components ever again.

Uncle works for a company that makes TP rolling/cutting machines. He used to be able to bring home test rolls. His basement was literally stacked floor to ceiling. Everyone that visited went home with a trunk full. Sadly, an employee thought they would sell it and ruined it for everyone.

When the virus hit I went into a buying frenzy. Yep, I ran out to the store and bought a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread. Whew!!! Catastrophe averted!!! Good on everything else for a couple of years.

I was talking to a truck driver who happened to be at the feed store about a month back..I guess it could have been 2 months ago now as all the days seem to run together, but anyway he was on the loading dock waiting for his truck to be unloaded at a local Sam's Club talking to the store manager. He said a woman in a mini-van pulled up to the bay they were in front of and ran her receipt over to the manager and said she was picking up. The manager looked at her and looked over her vehicle, and asked where she planned to put 2 pallets of toilet paper. The driver said the pallets were 4x4x8' high. People definitely went crazy around here with it. He said they were pulling TP out of warehouses in Austin to deliver to OKC, so I guess Austin wasn't having the same panic buying then.

jonp
05-13-2020, 05:28 PM
TP is still panic buying for some reason. I've got word that people are meeting Dollar General Trucks in the parking lots at 0300 to be first in line to get the toilet paper.

No idea what you mean. Having a spare pack for each bathroom is normal when you don't live near towns.

Woman who only want you for your TP.

A few years ago I was at the dentist and the gal cleaning my teeth told me I should get braces or I could end up having to have a tooth pulled that was out of place. I told her that by that time it wouldn't matter and that at my age woman didn't care if you had teeth , what they cared about was whether or not you had a pension and how big your 401-k was. Across from me in the next chair I hear a woman yell back " And you had better have a RV too!"

Now you know what old guy's are for.

I probably have a dozen rolls. But all of the stores around here have restocked and there's plenty.
