It is frustrating for those of us (I know that I am not alone in this) who have found nothing but bare shelves in the stores for weeks, and who are beginning to run low, to read that somebody who has 100 rolls continues to buy when he sees it. Every package that you buy, you who already have 100 rolls, is a package that is not available to be bought by somebody who is on the verge of running out. Put yourself, for just one minute, in the place of somebody who has none and can not find any to buy, who reads what you wrote, and says to himself, "I'm down to my last two rolls, here's this dude who has 100 rolls stashed away, and still continues to buy when it is in short supply." Do you understand why the person who can't find any to buy would feel a bit upset? הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

I haven't seen any but I would have bought some more if I did, and will when I do. There is plenty of industrial TP available online - it may not be the kind you like, but it is available. | |||

If you can’t find toilet paper at your grocery, go to a local janitorial supply store. Also ask your local restaurant who is offering meals to go if they will order you a case from their restaurant supply company. RV and camper store. Dollar Tree, Dollar General, farm supply store. Every restaurant food and supply company has a Will Call counter and will sell to you. Motels/hotels can’t fill their rooms, go in to the front desk and ask them to sell you some or order you a case from their supplier. Offer the clerk or whoever a $20 bill for helping you. Get enough to make it worthwhile and help others. | |||

Just Google restaurant supply store near me. I have one <5mi from me. Has disposable gloves, cleaning supplies, and giant packages of TP. Went and bought some stuff for the one guy at my company who's covering all of our Virginia business since he couldn't find stuff by his house or online. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Invalid comparison. Buying well before a panic when supply is plentiful =/= continuing to buy during a panic when there's little to be had.
Cool, so 100+ rolls for four people. Let's call it 100 just for the sake of easy math, and assume you're sharing it equally, even though you only intermittently supply your Mom and kids. How much TP do you each use in a day? Ten squares? Twenty squares? Let's just say that all four of you get the cases of the screaming shits that you can't shake, and you each use a quarter of a roll each day. (That's like 45 squares of TP per person each day, assuming regular sized rolls and not super/mega/jumbo rolls, whereas we both known an extreme TP connoisseur like yourself likely buys the bigger rolls... but I'm keeping it simple here.) Even with that grossly inflated amount of usage, you'd still have at least 100 days (over 3 months) worth of TP for all four of you, even if all four of you end up long-running dysentery and use a quarter of a roll each and every one of those 100 days. (And if that's the case, I recommend hoarding Pedialyte, Immodium, and baby wipes too... And you should definitely consult your doctor if your family has diarrhea for 100 days straight.) Just stop buying for a few months, dude. You'll be fine, and your friends and neighbors who are still having trouble finding TP will appreciate it. And after a few months, even with the four of you using it normally and not buying any more, you'll still have like 80 or more rolls left in your TP hoard. And 80 rolls is still plenty of TP to pile into your empty pool and dive into like Scrooge McDuck. Or to use to construct a TP throne on which to sit and survey your little TP kingdom. Or whatever it is you're planning on doing with your 100+ roll (and growing) hoard of TP. | |||

West Marine's in Orlando area have it, click on "find a store" and put in your zip code. It isn't cheap and it isn't great toilet paper compared to Charmin, but it's decent (it's the degrading type for a yacht or rv). West Marine has a lot of it in the Orlando area, I looked, but not sure which store is closest to you. https://www.westmarine.com/buy...11012663?recordNum=1 | |||

Well , your math is flawed because one son has a wife and two daughters and the other has a wife , two sons and a daughter . Get back to me after you recalculate . I still won't care but I'll hear you out just to be polite . And for the record , TP is starting to get easier to find around here if you are able to shop early in the day . | |||

Okay, so now we're up to 11 family members with dysentery. (You should probably get your water supply tested, man...) And just for the sake of argument, I'll assume the kids use just as much TP as the adults, which they don't, but whatever. So that's 2.75 rolls of toilet paper being run through each day because everyone's got the screaming shits and is using a quarter roll apiece each and every day. (Hope you have enough bathrooms to go around.) Assuming your glorious hoard consists of a mere 100 standard rolls of toilet paper (which is probably a gross underestimate), that now means you only have enough TP for 36 straight days of four alarm diarrhea within your entire immediate 11 member family, after which time you'll need to buy some more. Or more likely, you'll all be dead from acute dehydration after over a month of constant diarrhea, and your more distant kin will be inheriting what remains of your toilet paper estate. (Don't forget Uncle Sam's cut of that TP... estate tax is a bitch. So you might want to consult with your financial adviser about creating a shell corporation with an offshore TP account. I hear Switzerland doesn't ask many questions about bulk TP transfers.) So again, how about you resist the urge to buy more TP for a couple months, and then when you still haven't really put a huge a dent in your 100+ roll stockpile after that period, see how much longer you can go before you drop down to just a few dozen rolls. At that point, you might considering buying some more, because I'm sure the thought of having only 25 rolls of TP on hand will be starting to keep you up at night by then. Or, y'know, just keep waving your middle fingers at everyone around you from atop your ever-growing TP tower. | |||

What someone buys and the qty of whatever they buy is no ones god damned business. I guess I'm learning a lot about our members true beliefs. By the way, wife found tp in stock and went ahead and bought 3 packages even though we have 6 months supply in the basement. Yay free market! | |||

So, if your elderly neighbor came over and in passing mentioned they went to 4 stores looking for toilet paper and didn't have any, would you clap and cheer because you won? Would you give them a few rolls? Sell it to them at a mark up? Would you go down to the basement and roll in it in glee? | |||
