@Buffalogal47, define what "hoarding" is. I have a good amount of back-ups. Perhaps I have committed a felony.
@suzyQ3, someone will be knocking on your door in about 20 minutes.
I have never in my life ran out of TP. Yesterday was the first time I bought any since before all of this began. I don't hoard it but I always have at least 3 packs in my linen closet.

Yes, many things being limited in my area of Maryland and I'm thankful. Otherwise, the stores would be wiped out for sure.
Early on, I wanted some alcohol to make hand sanitizer for my husband. I couldn't find hand sanitizer, so I decided to make my own.
My husband cannot always find water to wash up on the job (contractor). One morning while shopping my local Food Lion, I found the alcohol I needed.
A woman there was grabbing every bottle she could and I stepped up and picked up one. She asked me, "is there a limit?" I said, "no, but there should be." Then, she lamented I had gotten the ONE bottle of 90% alcohol on the shelf. I just looked at her and walked away.
As I said, I have plenty of TP, so I'm not buying right now.
But, I agree that some of the shortages are from people overbuying. I understand they are nervous and scared and don't want to come out very often, so I just try to let it go.

A few weeks ago, I ordered a large pack of toilet paper from Walmart - and I added 6 jars of jam - so I qualified for free shipping. I rec'd the jam --- but the day the toilet paper was supposed to be delivered - it wasn't. Not Nice Walmart!!!!

Easter was 2 weeks ago. You mean you still have 15 packages of Resses peanut butter eggs? I would have scarfed them up by now!

@kivah, that would really upset me. I hope, at least, that you love jam.

Anyone who bought 100s of rolls of toilet paper, cases of wipes and cleaners, more flour than they could ever use in a year, is a hoarder. What do you call a good number of backups? A couple of extra packs of toilet paper is a backup. 100 rolls is a hoard. Backups are good. Hoards are not.
