Some Old Guy Posted December 2, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 2, 2020 ... The hoarders appear to have lost this round of virus fear to the paper product producers and their supply chains. A week ago, the shelves were wiped clean, but now my store is reloaded with toilet paper, paper towels and other paper products. Yay! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman564™ Posted December 2, 2020 Share #2 Posted December 2, 2020 didn't they learn the first time there was no shortage? Also, it's probably the same people buying it now, even though they still have more than needed for a decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, there was a part of me that said, "Buy some toilet paper, you never know what might happen!" But I didn't listen and walked on by.

We were running low last week and we asked my daughter if they still had some from her hoarder MIL. I have enough for the next 2 years, take all you want. Daughters hoarder MIL was going to Costco & Walmart daily this past spring and buying as much as they would allow. Now she and my daughter/SIL have cases of TP stashed in their garages. We ended up buying our own but they won’t need TP for a very looong time and their garage is taken up with it.. Freaking crazy... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted December 2, 2020 Share #10 Posted December 2, 2020 My local stores haven't run out since the spring shortage. They do have a purchase limit so that you can only buy "1" but that one can be a huge multipack if you want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live alone these days, so a large roll lasts me about 2 or 3 weeks. Then I think about my neighbors' house with two adult women, a very large man, a teenage boy and an adolescent girl. With only one bathroom. They must go through a roll every couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’d bet closer to a roll a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
