Zephyr Posted March 25, 2020 Share #5 Posted March 25, 2020 40ish..., but that is because I bought this weekend went for groceries. I bought Costco tp because they had some and I didnt know if anywhere else would, then went to my regular grocery store and they had our regular brand so I bought a 9 pack of that.

ChrisL Posted March 25, 2020 Share #14 Posted March 25, 2020 I haven’t taken an inventory lately but probably less than 12 rolls with 3 people and my sons GF who is with us a couple of days a week. As my son is off work and my wife home officed well probably blow through more than usual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a better understanding of that now that it’s my job to take care of her. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend_Maynard Posted March 25, 2020 Share #22 Posted March 25, 2020 approximately 12 for 2 men, 1 woman... it would usually last about 3 weeks, i think, but now we are all home a lot more, so I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted March 25, 2020 Share #24 Posted March 25, 2020 About 24 for 4 people. We're not in trouble yet but I would buy backup if I saw it. We gave a package of 6 to the 90 year old lady across the street because she has no chance to win the TP war at the store. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted March 25, 2020 Share #27 Posted March 25, 2020 i either just used the first several squares of 24 rolls or of 6 rolls. I think it's more like 6 but Quilted Northern (see below) claims its 6 "mega" rolls = 24 regular ones. I moved into my apartment - alone - on Mar. 10 and the very-thin, narrow, cheap single roll of 1-ply TP provided for me ran out this morning, so it lasted just over 2 weeks. I haven't paid attention to my usual TP usage rate because I've been buying the 30 roll, 2-ply packages of Charmin or Kirkland (store brand) sold at Costco since the 90's and each seems to last forever. Here's the 4 for 1 claim: The 6-pack of Quilted Northern 3-ply sheets don't seem unusually thick and it is a bigger-than-normal roll: it barely fits on the TP dispenser: I have the above roll plus the 5 still in the package below. Assuming each lasts at least 2 weeks like the cheap roll, I'm good for at least 12 weeks - assuming no bouts with diarrhea! I do have 4 boxes of Kleenex and 6 rolls of Bounty paper towels as a backup, though I'll go through the paper towels before the TP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time WoScrapr bought TP was about a year & a half ago. So it was making me nervous. When tshtf I thought 2 weeks and everybody will have their TP and inventory will go back to normal. Well, 3 (?) weeks later it's better but not by much. I was in Costco Sunday & Monday and there was nothing. My neighbor in the alley works at Costco but swing shift. So he might not see anything as it's stocked overnight. I got up early(ish) to go to "Senior" hour. Get there a few mins before 8:00 am and there are a few people milling around. Then I see a few people pulling away and the store isn't open yet. I get out & go look at the sign. Tuesday & Thursday. Socially Distant Guy next to me asks what day is it? LOL...must be retired. I double check my phone....Wednesday! ooofff I do another errand grab a coffee (to go) and double back. Walk in with the normals and almost everyone has a package in their cart. This makes both nervous & hopeful. I didn't run but made my way back to the TP aisle. I heard a Costco employee say this was a truckload of TP. It was about half done. I picked one up & felt proud of myself. Maybe a bit smug? Get home & go to the neighbor to cancel my black market order. Steve is still sleeping but his wife 'Pina is WFH so we chat at an acceptable distance. She says Steve was so happy when he came home last night because he got me a pack! So I give her a $20 and he will deliver it when he gets up. So now I have the opportunity for some arbitrage. What is the black market price for TP? In bitcoin.

Longjohn ★ Posted March 25, 2020 Share #29 Posted March 25, 2020 I have a few rolls left but it lasts me a long time. I was at the pharmacy yesterday picking up a prescription and while I was there I grabbed a twelve pack.

team scooter Posted March 26, 2020 Share #38 Posted March 26, 2020 Back before the panic/shortage, while at fleet/farm I remembered we were low on TP so I picked up a 20 pack there. That same day, my wife went grocery shopping and picked up a 20 pack too. So we have 40 minus whatever we used in a month. The grandkids haven't been over in a months, so we'll be good on TP for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
