I hear ya, me too! I stock up on cans of beans and Pasta/Rice Sides. And soups.

Hi @Estellee

I hear ya, me too! I stock up on cans of beans and Pasta/Rice Sides. And soups.

@JoyFilled Warrior It's a little scary, isn't it

I just had my 18 roll tp delivered. The large pk of paper towels had to be shipped and won't be here for a day or two. I checked my supply when this thread started. I was a lot lower on inventory than I thought. I bought my normal amt

Uh, I haven't heard anything about a tp shortage...?? Is it a regional thing or what?

@SilleeMee I think she's referring to the upcoming dock workers strike.

I was at Costco today to get a flu shot; one of the workers said that it has been a feeding frenzy and every paper product they sell has been sold out a few minutes after they open. Ridiculous. He said Costco is ready for the strike and learned how to manage the supply chain issues during covid. I bought a 6 pack of paper towels at Kroger and they had tons of paper products. I hated to pay the same price for 6 rolls as I would have paid for 12 at Costco, but at least I will have it on hand if the strike lasts very long.

I'm sure the tp and paper towels will wind up on Ebay. Folks hoping to profit but shipping costs will be crazy.

Wondering if stores will post their "no return items" policy like they did during Covid? 😉

During Covid I learned the easiest tp to obtain is the stuff made for RVs. We bought a case of that when nothing else was available. Like others I also order paper products online (Sams and Costco were both out if many brands online but Amazon Basics was no problem).

Joyfilled,

I was just watching cable news, and according to that, the dock strike is highliy unlikely to affect toilet paper. This was the first thing the report mentioned.

It will likely affect the price and delivery of _fruit_, esp. bananas.

I am highly allergic to bananas (ate too many as meal replacements while dieting and on long teaching days! Bad allergy ensued.)

Other fruits might also go up in price if the strike is lengthy.

Hope this helps. One can't really stock up on bananas because their shelf life is a bit short. Their price may rise if there is no early resolution.

Yesterday, our local news said that toliet paper and paper towels were 'not' among the things that were going to be a shortage of - but that everybody is buying those items out of panic that they will be hard to find...that is why there isn't any in the stores.
