At Costco two days ago, big brown generic-looking cardboard cartons of toilet paper and paper towels were available from a brand called Country Soft. The quality of both obviously was not as good as Kirkland/Costco brand, but the price was much lower for a large quantity of product.
I bought a big box of paper towels because I go thru those like water in the kitchen every day and don't care about quality
Passed on buying the huge box of toilet paper, mainly because I couldn't lift it. A Costco employee saw me trying to lift it and offered to put it in my cart, but I declined with a laugh, saying that's nice but I'd still have to deal with that extreme size and weight at home.
Costco did have Bounty paper towels and Charmin toilet paper, but at bigger prices.
I'm willing to try the cheaper stuff at least once. Wonder whether Country Soft will be a permanent offering at Costco.

If the media would stop trying to create hysteria and people would only buy what they need, none of this nonsense would be necessary

unfortunately the "hysteria by the media" is justified not created;
I actually wish more people would pay attention. Also maybe the people who got burned last time and ran out decided not to let that happen again.

Once upon a time the Kirkland brand TP was up there in quality next to Charmin, until they started cutting corners. The "2-ply" became only one advertised as 2-ply, so I went right back to my beloved Charmin.
I do like Kirkland's paper towels, though. They do rival Bounty.

In my kitchen, I have a metal gizmo (4-1/2" long) that slides over the cabinet door under my sink. There's a round open piece attached to the gizmo - where I hang a hand towel -- eliminates using so many paper towels. I also have the same gizmo on the cabinet under the sink in my master bath.

If we want the media to keep us informed, then I don't get the negative views expressed about what or how the media does its job.
As for "hysteria" and "nonsense", Costco limits purchases of toilet paper and paper towels to one per customer. There's no mass hysteria going on there. Plus they also had national brands of both paper products in stock.

All I want is Lysol spray, 2 cans, that's it.

what I am saying in case you missed my point is, if everyone would just buy what they NEED and not hoard stuff then none of this would be .necessary. That is the hysteria I am talking about. People hoarding are the ones creating the problem. That comes from the media.
Yes we have a Pandemic a very serious one, I never said otherwise. I have been totally staying home, doing curbside grocery pickup, wearing masks and all the stuff I am supposed to be doing. That was not my point.

I think you just get caught up in it. I just placed an order for delivery with Costco and while I have a Costco-sized package of Charmin I decided to order another one (just in case) but both Charmin and Kirkland brand were sold out.
