Not to preach from my ivory tower (of TP rolls)... But why did you not stock up when it was readily available in the preceding months? It's not expensive, it doesn't take up really any room to store, and it doesn't eat anything or make messes.
Same with all the shooters bemoaning the current lack of ammo, after it being readily available for years and everyone strongly recommending to "stock up while it's quiet".
It's not even like you're a brand new gun owner who didn't know to stock up... You didn't just get into wiping your butt only to discover that TP can have shortages. (Or did you?
)
You make too many ass-umptions. One it's gone forever. Two, I was out of town for 3 weeks straight. It was gone before I left, and when I got back. For fuksakes man. Aren't we all on the same team here? You won't find me bitching about finding ammunition, ever.

911BossCostco Kirkland TP is my go to brand.
I’m sitting on about 50 rolls right now, we are at Costco 2-3x a month. They seem to have it in stock at least every other visit.
I don’t hoard it, but I also don’t wait till the last few rolls to buy it.
Proper planning prevents pooper paper poverty positions.
What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

cslingerI never imagined how psychic I was.
My friends have always said when the Apocalypse comes they are coming to my house.
I have always said for like 20 years now,
“You show up at my house you better have two things.”
They always ask “ammo???”
My reply is always...
“No, you show up you bring bourbon and toilet paper.”
Take Care, Shoot Safe,

Skins2881Got thosands of squares and rounds. Stocked deep on both. Both have a long shelf life.
I can ass-ure you the TP will be in stock before the ammo.

marksman41For those that prefer the 4.5" wide sheets to the current 3.8" or 4", here are a couple of links:
Georgia Pacific 16560 Angel Soft https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod...00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Tork TM6510https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C...ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_itThey aren't premium-plush-super-soft-use-one-sheet-as-pillow toilet paper, but they are good 2-ply paper that hotels use.
For $1(or less)/roll shipped I think these are really good deals for the quality of the products.

In case you missed it, no charge, I’ll send you a few rolls of Charmin to covet. Send an email I’ll send you chocolate starfish cleaner.

PrefontaineBean, thank you for the offer. No worries, and no need. Toto’s are going in over the winter and I’ll never use TP at the house again. Was already planned before all this began. Appreciate the offer sir.

ZSMICHAELOne consequence of the TP shortage is the annoying commercial for TUSHY. You see it once you will never forget it.

jimb888We've come a long way as a country. Use to be that just getting a Sears Catalog to wipe with was a joyous occasion. You could save the corncobs for when it was critical and the Sears Catalog was all gone.

THIS! This is exactly what I did after the last run on TP. Every month after that when we went to Costco/Sams Club, we bought a rack of the TP and paper towels. I now have several of each on hand and can ride out the recent panic buyers.
BTW- I was a the Costco closest to me yesterday and they had plenty of TP and paper towels in the Kirkland brand, so I guess the panic is easing up, at least in northern Phoenix anyway.

911BossCostco trip today, took advantage of the “Seniors only” early hour entry.
Pallets upon pallets of Kirkland brand shitter paper to be had, limit 1 pack.
Just two pallets of Kirkland paper towels, limit 1 as well.
Just like ammo, buy it when it’s available. We’ve got a good 6-month supply of each now, but if the crazy keeps going will buy more next month as available.

Pale HorseThankfully everything had come back over the last several months. Some people probably call me a hoarder but I buy in bulk and when things are on sale and that keeps me from needing to buy when things are hard to find. And I never have to buy the last package of anything. I found TP back in stock in August or so and my favorite brand was on sale so I bought the biggest pack they had. I’m probably good for a year or so now.

FredwardSomething is missing from the Amazon pages. Don't they usually have a "used" option?

SRQuestion:
At what point does one cross the line from 'one who plans ahead' to a (despised) hoarder of paper products? Perhaps phrase in term of expected need - 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 6 months, 1 year, etc.
Let's expand to paper towel as well as TP.
BTW, still having a problem finding cleaning wipes and when I do they seem to go home with my mother-in-law or one of my daughters(some of that is planned - not entirely unexpected). LOL
Anyone seeing cleaning wipes?

SW_SigI see cleaning wipes often at different store. They usually have a limit of 1 or 2.
December 18, 2020, 10:05 PM
WolfpackerCleaning wipes are with the spray cans of Lysol disinfectant here. Invisible/unobtainable!
Lots of off brand paper products that I have never heard of or seen on store shelves before though.
