Are you sure 30 rolls of TP will last you almost a year?

I read earlier the average person uses 100 rolls per year. LOL!!!


@Nightowlz @Anonymous032819 

 

  I'm glad you said this because I was embarrassed to admit I was doing the math on this one.

 

So even not counting March, 30 rolls/9 months equals 3 rolls/month usage.

 

Or do they look like this:Woman Surprised

LOL!

 

 

No, the rolls don't look like that, but I do get the "double" rolls.

 

 

 And your math is correct, that is about how much I average per month.

 

 

When there is only one person, using the only toilet in the house, not that much is used on a daily basis.


 

Well guess wht, mine looks like that LOL Smiley Very Happy.  I order direct from Charmin with free delivery and it is Ultra Soft.  I order three times a year and placed an order just before the panic buying started so I am good to go.  I hated to change the rolls so this is perfect for me.  (I love my comfy too)

Im in Texas....

 

I ordered my groceries through Instacart for early delivery this morning...The shopper said they had everything on my list with one exception, the cat food brand my kitties eat, I had to substitute for a similar kind, same brand....The guy said the store had plenty of everything else .....even toilet paper..


My cats do not like the similar kind of cat food in the same brand I hope yours do.


We stocked up on cat food Monday, we wouldn't be able to tolerate our old cat Moe, he is senile and he wants what he wants.

No hand sanitizer at stores, Amazon, etc  I tried the drug store, they're out too.  We found distilled water, but I noticed the bottles of pure water are low on the shelf.   We have plenty of the anti-bacterial liquid soap at home, but I don't see them in the store..


@songbird 

 

Your best bet would probably be Wal-Mart. Just keep checking their site online to see if they have stock in your store since they won't ship it.

I picked up an order at Walmart.  They had no toilet paper or the soup that I wanted.  The boy said they got a truckload of bottled water that sold out in minutes...now that mystified me.  We have good water so I never, ever buy it.


@Kachina624 

 

I don't need bottled water either. It's a good thing since I drink over a gallon per day. We just bought a new reverse osmosis system with black light that also sanitizes the water. If we were to have a problem with our local water dept I could fill large jugs with water.

Wally World today cleaned out of TP, tissues, paper towels, Lyson wipes including generic. NO Hand sanitizer

 

No Peanut Butter, Cereals picked over, no chicken of any kind, no baked beans, no rice.

 

Aldis had no TP . a few ladies were pushing their carts around saying geez they could have left a few rolls for others.

 

Starting tomorrow, Shaw's has a coupon for Charmin, 9 Mega Roll pak 8.99. MUST BUY 2.  lol any other time requirement to buy 2 would be a deterrant. Sending DH out first thing! 


@CatsyCline 

 

I was just at our Wally World Mon. They had all those items except lysol or clorox wipes. They did have some lysol liquid cleaning products, clorox. The tp was half gone. They had plenty of kleenex.

I bought several jars of lightly salted peanuts to make peanut butter with.

No matter how bad this gets, I will never reveal my toilet habits. :-)

We have plenty of tp but if it gets really bad & we run out I will have to jump in the shower to use the hand held spraying to clean up. LOL!!! It will be a hassle but probably the easiest.

They said after all the tp flew off the shelves that people were searching bidet's.

I guess some are resorting to paper towels. Hope they know you cannot flush that down the toilet.

Re: I Just Got Back From the Grocery Store And ...

I hope that means that stores are starting to restock.  My local Kroger stores are terrible at keeping the shelves stocked on a regular basis never mind what is happening now so I won't even bother to look there anymore.  I have extra in the house, but if I come across some, I'll pick up a few more.
