Road Runner Posted July 30, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 30, 2021 The local news people here are panicking over the current rise in Covid cases in Virginia and North Carolina. If these trends continue, I feel a shortage of TP is right around the corner. People won't get vaccinated, but they go nuts over TP. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted July 30, 2021 Share #3 Posted July 30, 2021 Oldest son went to Rochester last Saturday. He went out with 2 vaccinated friends. One of them tested positive. Now all three test positive. He'll be in quarantine in a motel somewhere for a while. At the age of 75 I don't consider it harmless for vaccinated folks. My odds are better but it seems that there are still asshats out there trying to kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted July 30, 2021 Share #4 Posted July 30, 2021 Canned tomatoes. The drought and wildfires in CA are hitting the tomato growers hard. Acres planted are shrinking and prices are predicted to rise as shortages develop. I’m hoarding I mean stocking up while the prices are still reasonable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My go to fake canned San Marzano tomatoes have been tasting off for the last 5-6 months or so. Could it be that canning season is limited and they sold me the supply of lesser winter tomatoes?

smudge ★ Posted July 31, 2021 Share #10 Posted July 31, 2021 Last couple of bundles of TP HoSmudge bought are ridiculous. I think it says six times as much as a regular roll. Barely rolls on the holder cuz it's too fat!! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted July 31, 2021 Share #11 Posted July 31, 2021 I visited my friends on vancouver island a few wks. ago. They told me where to find extra rolls of TP. So when I ran out...I found 20 pkgs. of 8 rolls each for TP. I told them it will last the 2 of them for next 5 yrs. They overcalculated their adult children visiting them for past 18 yrs...which didn't happen except 1 daughter lived with them for 6 months or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these trends continue, I feel a shortage of TP is right around the corner. People won't get vaccinated, but they go nuts over TP. I'm seeing shortages of all kinds of stuff and some empty shelves in supermarkets - even Walmart. I'm back to traveling farther than nearby stores to find the Caffeine Free Diet Coke I drink. For TP I'm still overstocked. I've still got a package of 22 small rolls of "bamboo" double-ply toilet paper that I bought in a panic when Costco ran out of Charmin and it's Kirkland brand last fall even after only allowing shoppers one package of 30 at a time. I've got about 6 large rolls of Costco's store-brand (similar to Charmin) double-ply toilet paper and 10 boxes of kleenex from a Costco 12 pack as backup.

We're not seeing much up here. A million plus folks here in Fairfax, and 71 - while "up" is hardly a spike. At almost 70% adults vaxxed, I'm guessing the hold-outs and 18-30 folks are seeing some uptick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
