Title: Toilet paper Post by: Pinion on March 13, 2020, 03:42:38 PM Anyone else go to grocery store and find no tp..........wtf
Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: koko64 on March 13, 2020, 04:12:04 PM Yep, dumbmake the beast with two backs panic buying and onselling at scalper prices.
Stores are now limiting how much one person may purchase. Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Pinion on March 13, 2020, 04:14:01 PM There isn’t any in my county, Amazon, even wall art is out.
I am so oblivious, had no idea. Derp Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Heath on March 13, 2020, 04:48:12 PM Our local Costco has a HUGE parking lot. I have never seen it more than a third full during the week. Today it was almost full at 2PM on a Friday. I turned around and will get my back up stash from my parents if I run out. Lucky for me they horde stuff like that already.
I'm more worried about my cats at this point. I am out of litter except for what is in the litter box right now lol. I get that at Costco too. Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Stella on March 13, 2020, 06:07:47 PM I just secured a 6 pack of rolls from a friend of mine who scored 4 packages yesterday.
I can't believe I'm begging for TP but grateful that's all I'm begging for at this point. . The one Costco I tried (but failed) to get into yesterday said they're out of stock for 2 weeks. ??? Just found this DIY gem ;D https://www.ehow.com/how_4514690_make-toilet-paper.html (https://www.ehow.com/how_4514690_make-toilet-paper.html) Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: zach (Slag) on March 13, 2020, 06:45:12 PM I have Crohn's disease and go through an impressive amount of TP. Shower massager bidet may be in my future, lol

Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: herm on March 13, 2020, 08:04:57 PM Buy multi packs of cotton athletic socks
Cut cotton socks into 3 - 4 sections. Use wisely.

Waiting for someone to stop me on the way out. Derp
Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Stella on March 14, 2020, 06:42:35 AM Awake early as usual this morning so I decided to try the stores when they first opened.
Store 1, open at 5am: bare shelves Store 2, open at 6am: bare shelves "No TP for you!" I didn't want to have to rely on my friends who have hoarded TP but I'm done dealing with the stores and the masses. I've had an above average # of battles this week and TP does not need to be on that list (thanks to friends). [roll] Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Pinion on March 14, 2020, 08:45:35 AM Lol, shit is real
Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: KRJ on March 14, 2020, 09:48:42 AM I work for the County Sewer Dept. here, We are preparing for the impact of all the substitute wiping materials that are going to be flushed. Could be a busy couple of months, Hope people use some thought. Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: herm on March 14, 2020, 10:19:00 AM There is hope, but you'll have to go on facebook to find it...
search "Fire Department Chronicles" Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: kopfjäger on March 14, 2020, 12:41:32 PM Just left the store. No toilet paper, so I bought a water pick and an electric toothbrush.
Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Pinion on March 14, 2020, 01:04:45 PM Just left the store. No toilet paper, so I bought a water pick and an electric toothbrush. I like your style Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: LMT on March 14, 2020, 02:30:34 PM I will be able to trade beer for TP if it comes to that!
[beer] [beer] Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: herm on March 14, 2020, 05:52:12 PM In Greece, they kindly ask that you do not flush your wiping material (at least back in 1996). There is generally a waste basket/bucket next to the toilet to dispose of paper (or whatever) wiping products.
Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: krolik on March 15, 2020, 12:37:55 PM I'm waiting for when the stores are restocked and no one is buying TP because they already have a big stash at home. Then it goes on sale. Score! [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: KRJ on March 15, 2020, 03:44:19 PM Seen a post about rent due April 1st and long lines at stores. Prolly very true... Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: ducpainter on March 15, 2020, 05:44:17 PM TP is yours...
I'm stocking up on vodka. Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Speedbag on March 16, 2020, 05:43:17 AM And beer.
I went to the local Sam's Club yesterday at opening time to find a mob of idiots waiting to get in. After the initial crowd got in, I headed in to see most everyone heading back to the paper products corner. While I quietly grabbed charcoal and steak. Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Howie on March 16, 2020, 08:45:16 AM Not being a hoarder we really were running low on toilet paper. Fairway, no toilet paper, Whalgreens, no toilet paper, wash rinse, repeat. Stop at the neighborhood housewares store, BINGO. Fair price, bought 16 rolls. I thanked them for not gouging. That should suffice until stores stock up again.
Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Speedbag on March 16, 2020, 12:07:29 PM A man walks into a bank wearing a mask.
Everyone freaks out. “Relax," he says, "I'm just here to rob the place." Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Randimus Maximus on March 16, 2020, 03:41:20 PM I'm waiting for when the stores are restocked and no one is buying TP because they already have a big stash at home. Then it goes on sale. Score! [thumbsup] I'm following the same approach. Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Pinion on March 16, 2020, 03:52:27 PM I stumbled into a tp score the other day, not sure how it happened, but don’t care
Oh life. This is my first zombie apocalypse, not sure I give a sh*t Lots of time to work on my own bike, lol I’m with ducpainter, sept I like tequila Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: KRJ on March 16, 2020, 06:30:52 PM I'm staying with Beans, Bullets, and BandAids. And BEER! Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: herm on March 16, 2020, 07:48:25 PM If only I was told to stay home. Would love to fiddle with the bike for a few weeks.... Going to be looking for some balance at the other end.
Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Speedbag on March 17, 2020, 04:08:10 AM I'm in the same boat, would love a little time off for the couple of bike projects I have going on.
Maybe a little early yard work too, assuming the weather stays mild and the snow doesn't return. Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Pinion on March 17, 2020, 05:56:14 AM My project at home has hit light speed,
I closed the shop, most of my clients are from NYC anyway I think I will incorporate a zombie somewhere in the paint scheme, lol Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Duck-Stew on March 17, 2020, 06:00:09 AM Got the S4Rs dropped off last night. Work allowed me to work from home, but I can sneak into the garage for a bit here and there.
Also, had a friend who works at a grocery store stash 12 rolls for our family. Gonna go pick them up today. Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Stella on March 17, 2020, 06:40:50 PM Guess who scored bathroom paper products today?
This one. :) Digging through my old jeep looking for the missing front wheel skewer while at the bike park (which I could not find so could not ride) BUT there was a box of kleenex under the passenger seat. Relying on friends for this particular need only when circumstances become dire. Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Heath on March 17, 2020, 08:33:13 PM Went to two Costco's today, both busy but nothing too crazy. No TP. People were waiting in the back while they were unloading trucks to see what was coming out. Someone said they were not sure what was coming on the trucks but I find that hard to believe. A pallet of bleach came out and people swarmed on it. The worker politely said hang on let me at least put it in it's location first. Which was only 10 ft away.
My work has closed down some sections but for me it's still report to work as usual. Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Pinion on March 18, 2020, 03:54:52 AM Still no tp in ulster county NY, I have my stash, but damn. Non on amazon either
Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Speedbag on March 18, 2020, 04:37:51 AM Tried to score some TP on my way to work this morning, thinking maybe something got stocked overnight. No such luck. :P
Things are going to get dire on that front at home soon, I guess I try again after work. Or resort to the 'natural artisanal toilet paper' on the ground under the trees around the compound. ;) Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: kopfjäger on March 18, 2020, 01:06:31 PM https://youtu.be/5K9-Lz0SbrA
Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Pinion on March 20, 2020, 02:18:39 AM Lol, I read about the 73 tp shortage
Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Howie on March 20, 2020, 05:01:49 AM None of the supermarkets here have toilet paper. Our local Staples does though.
Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Stella on March 22, 2020, 11:29:50 AM I scored a 4 pack at the grocery store!

Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: Duck-Stew on March 23, 2020, 02:11:03 AM Local supply chains are slowly restoring normal food/sundry supply levels here. Dustykitska and I shop for ourselves and another house, so that makes it a bit more difficult. So far, all is working out.
Title: Re: Toilet paper Post by: kopfjäger on March 25, 2020, 10:00:38 PM NSFW. As if that needed to be said for George. ;)

I'm single and live alone. Had a small supply, but starting to dwindle after WFH for two weeks. One of my neighbors, who is also a coworker, picked up a 24 pack this weekend. They shared 6 rolls with me this morning, on provisional. [bow_down] [bow_down] |
