toilet paper

I went last night to get some stuff. First I went to the little Wal Mart, well imagine my shock to see an empty toilep paper shelf. NONE.

Now, yesterday, the first Arkansan was reported to have coronavirus.

No instant milk.

Went to big wal mart. Same story, same shortage. NO TP. What is this.

So, then I go to Kroger, NO dang toilet paper again. This town is not so big. The cashier told me God only knows when we will get more.

I am not out of tp, but momma is getting low and I don't have a closet stockpiled of it, God forbid.

Holy smokeshow.

Someone mentioned on FB they were able to get TP and cleaning supplies from Home Depot.

I always have backup of paper products, but not what one would consider a "stockpile", so TP has not been on my shopping list.

Luckily I always keep a very good supply of TP on hand! I buy it whenever I see a good sale on it, whether I need or or not, after all, you're just throwing money down the toilet!!!

If not a member already, quickly sign up and pay for a membership to Costco, BJ's Warehouse or Sam's Club, then order from their websites. Just a suggestion and maybe not the best choice for you.

I got my current toilet paper supply delivered from Costco. The actual store had been out of it each time I had looked for it over the previous several weeks. Costco's website shows its Kirkland brand of TP (my preference) as being available to order with a limit of two big packs per member.

You might also check Sam and BJ's websites and see if they will ship to members.

I guess I'm wondering if anyone who finds themselves short of any given simple thing during this event (acknowledging that we cannot prepare for everything), will actually learn from it, and choose to not let it happen again.

I doubt that most will.
