    I can’t find tp anywhere. What is going on here? I’m thinking about hiding a few rolls from my wife.:D
    If this doesn’t change we are gonna have to make a decision. :fart: How is the tp supply where you are?

    Our shelves have been empty for a few weeks now. Once in a while a store will restock a little bit and it disappears within hours. I hid a pack of tp from my husband :whistle: Oh, I have some Scott tissue for the camper, we can use that too.

    Bought a pack this weekend, package said it was the equivalent of 72 regular size rolls...Only the wife and I use it, seems like it should last a year (about 1 1/3 roll a week)! I guarantee we will need more in a month!! Maybe she is hiding it from me or selling it on craigslist!! Or she just poops a lot??

    This weekend a friend went to BJs and told us there were 4 skids of it and nobody fighting over it. We still have 10 rolls coming from Chaz work when ever that comes in. His buddy said they have a good supply and they could always give us some. Talking to sil and she stated they only shop for tp and paper towels twice a year. So we have another back up. We're good.

    Some of the guys I work with told me yesterday they have had good luck finding it in dollar stores and one said sunday morning there were pallets of TP in Wegmans but don't know if they have any stores down your way.

    Well how many people are not pooping at work/school or anywhere besides home right now ?
    Of course people are suddenly buying more for the home now. Same with food.

    Imagine how much TP supplies will take a hit if all this hoarded food starts to go bad or becomes tainted with e.coli ...

    Good news of a sort: A medical research lab has been experimenting with a foolproof way to clean N95 masks and also made recommendations on how many times they can be cleaned and reused.
    Yale Medicine researchers discover way to clean, reuse N95 masks

    Their work just needs to be scrutinized, let's hope this doesn't take years.

    Have been out for 2 months now. Sure hope for the spring thaw soon, getting tired of skidding my arse over the snow banks. Between the dog and I the yard looks like a farmers field !!!!!!!!!!!!

    I stock up once a year. Well known retailer has it on sale for about 2 weeks once a year . Always at the sale time. Last time I stocked up it was $9/27 rolls Scott tissue. That’s cheap

    I sure wish this virus would kill more stupid people. If this were truly a EOTW-SHTF situation, you'd think these sheople hoarding TP and bleach would be much better prepared for isolation with things like, oh, I don't know, water, food, medicine and medical supplies, and the means to secure themselves, and their property.

    I think they're more worried about keeping their bottoms clean, than actually surviving anything more than what for most people to amounts to not being able to go out to eat anytime we want....
