  I went to Target tonight. Not a single sheet of TP or paper towels.  Went to Walmart on Saturday evening and bought 2 bulk packs of 22 ammo.

Went and picked up a couple dozen rolls today. Figure it can't hurt to have a few extra rolls around.

The last TP shortage blew my mind, this one dose not surprise me. I still wonder through, why TP?

My plan B is taking every roll from every hotel room I stay in, Im up to 20 partial rolls  >:D

Local BJ's wholesale as been out of Charmin and Bounty for a month.  I stopped in about a month ago and saw 3 folks in the paper aisle looking lost and disoriented, the would pick up a lessor brand, look at it for a moment, set it down and amber over to another lessor brand and repeat.  I found it funny till I did the same thing :))


I am exceedingly brand loyal to Charmin and Bounty, am always disappointed when I use something else :91:

Just got back from Walmart -- needed some oil and brake cleaner. Just for the heck of it we stopped by the paper products aisle -- No Bueno! Every quality bit of TP and paper towel brand was gone. There were a few generic Walmart Value brand items, but even they were down to the last few bundles.

It's just amazing what's going on right now. I told my wife that we better go shopping for Thanksgiving items this weekend, because chances are that next week will be a total "Cluster$%#*"

The Turkeyday Cluster$%#* will start Friday. Best to go shopping tomorrow if you can make the time.

I hadn't heard any reports of shortages around the country so it was a surprise to see it is so widespread again. I had heard there might be a shortage of certain food items such as canned goods. Our Walmart in town has been hit or miss on how well they are stocked but then aisles have many boxes stacked up blocking the road so it might be not enough stock people to keep up with the demand.

Why TP?

Because if the fear of lockdown and not being able to leave the house. Just like the whole milk and eggs thing during a snowstorm.

Baaaaah


Hope Rural doesn't get excited.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

I have been hearing of people having trouble finding Turkeys. Ham is better anyways.
