Another product that's in short supply is printer paper. I guess with everyone working from home there's a run on it too. Amazon had a delivery day of late April, Walmart is out. I finally found some at Target.

Maybe people are using it "in lieu of" in the bathroom.  Heaven forbid.

I ordered a new toner cartridge from Amazon for my printer before I do my taxes in the next several days.  It's out for delivery now (Sunday)  along with a bottle of Gly-Oxide Antiseptic Oral Cleanser after I checked the bottle I had in my medicine cabinet & found it was 2 years past the best-by date.

i purchase office supplies from QUILL. 3% cash back via mr rebates and lots of coupon codes available.

i ordered a few items last week and they are usually delivered within 2 -  3 days.

free shipping and plenty of choices for printer paper.

you can also set up an account if you are a business owner so that they will bill you.

OP yes - lots of office supplies are hard to find due to most people working from home.  I needed a new printer for home, and I had such a time getting one.  Ordered from Best Buy the week before last - email confirmed - pickup scheduled for last Thursday.  Thursday morning I got an email - so sorry, it's out of stock.  So I went to Staples online - they have in store.  Great - I bought it - pickup in an hour.  30 min later I got an email that they are sorry, but they don't have any.  Finally found one at Office Depot 30 minutes away that DH picked up.  But yes - seems most office hardware and supplies are in short supply like everything else.
