On Costco's site, u could order Marathon Bath Tissue (6 very big rolls) for $21.99 + $3 shipping. This is a 2-day delivery item. If u order other 2-day delivery items totalling at least $75, they waive the $3 fee.

I have found toilet paper at Target, Kroger and Publix. The times I've found it at Kroger and Publix have been earlier in the day, around 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. That is after the seniors shop. Target has been just luck. Not much is put out or left though by the time I come around to it.

@josie Yes, I found it at Costco last week. 36 rolls for about

$16.00. They rolled out the pallet with hundreds of packs just as I entered the store and I'm glad I was wearing my mask and sunglasses because I started to tear up and cry because I was so happy to finally get some TP.

Oh, I also saw their house brand of TP on the Costco website yesterday. ONE 36 pack per customer (like in the store) for delivery for $19.99.

I'm not a member of costco so if I joined just to get tp it would roughly cost $80

That's over $4.00 per roll! That's price gouging and they can be reported. Please check at the customer service desk in your grocery store. they are keeping what they do not put on the shelves.

@josie ...........that is definitely price gouging. Please keep your receipt and report Office Depot to the proper authorities.

Yes! DH went in the morning the other day and got a big thing of paper towel and a pack of Charmin Gentle. Which I had never even heard of in my life. Anything is better than the one ply!

He also got some Dial liquid hand soap. But it's this strange dark turquoise color and seems to be for Christmas. Balsam scented. I am not complaining! It's hand soap and that's good enough for me.

Edited to add: Go in the morning. As early as possible. Later in the day they are still running out most places.

Dollar Tree has been a great source for all paper & cleaning products in my area....the thing you really have to search for is handwipes.

that is so expensive! a week before everyone bought all the TP from the stores I got a 16 roll of great value, at walmart for under $8.00

@josie Well, I'm a BIG Costco shopper throughout the year because I like to always have deep inventories of things I always use and their organic offerings are very plentiful.

I also buy a lot of casual clothing and lounge outfits there.

If you're not a shopper like me I agree It'd be better to wait for TP availability elsewhere.

@josie I am in a college town in West Texas. If you have a Dollar General in your area, you might try there. I would call numerous stores and ask when they get a truck. Go early if possible. The grocery stores around here can't keep it on the shelves. I have had good luck at Dollar General. Dollar Tree also had rolls of individual toilet paper and lots of cleaning supplies. No antibacterial wipes though. Good luck!

Amazon has some that is off label. I didn't seem any more expensive than what I get at wal mart.

Try the smaller stores like dollar stores and drugstores.

I'm in SE NC and I haven't found a square to spare at my local grocery store. I have heard the suggestions to go to a dollar store and if my next trip to the grocery store comes up empty I may do that. I am down to 2 rolls - 1 for each bathroom.

It's just me so I'm not panicking. I'm thinking of making a trip to Lowes next week and checking out their supplies as well as some spring summer plantings, but I will see how things go. My county in NC has not been hit hard by this - some cases exist - but not very many are active - I think 6 or so active cases at the moment.

Stores need to put a limit on certain things. I was able to get a 2 roll pack of paper towels at the store the other day, so I am happy about that. I find myself using more of those lately to dry my hands because they are clean and can be thrown away after use.

Sad state of affairs all this is.

Found some Charmin one day at Sams. Bought one, haven't seen it since. They do have some kind of tp at Sams most times. We use baby wipes for our dogs. Couldn't get those til recently. Soap is scarce, cleaning supplies are very low. Chicken was gone for at least one day. We can find most things we need if we go at the right time, thankful for that.
