Who knew?
« on: April 09, 2020, 11:21:00 am »
Who knew getting a package of toilet paper could make a person so happy lol.  Yesterday I was in the drive thru pharmacy line at my grocery and called to see if the manager would let someone run me out a pack of tp because while I was in line I kept seeing people go to their cars with toilet paper.  I am not supposed to go in the store especially if it is crowded and they did because I had cash.  It truly in all seriousness was a blessing.  Are you guys running short of anything?  This is quite the situation.

Was running out of toilet paper too and our store was completely out when we went on Sunday. Tried to order it online all stores around here including Walmart and Target were out of stock but had it in the store so out we went on Monday.  Walmart line to get in the store was ridiculous so we went to Target and was able to get 1 pack due to the limit was only one per customer.

Last couple of times I went out Walmart had none, Hanaford had none, Walgreen's  had none, Family Dollar had none....I guess I'm gonna have to widen my search area to include the next town.   Unbelievable.  :peace:

Yay! Acquiring toilet paper is such a wonderful thing that it makes me ecstatic for people who are able to do it! Good for you! We aren't really lacking for anything here in our house, especially because we got to Costco last Saturday first thing and were able to pick up a big thing of Scot's TP. Hope you find everything you need during this time!  :peace: :heart:

I can't find rubbing alcohol anywhere but we're not actually out of it yet.

I finally did score some toilet paper but we were not actually out of it either. There were only two packages on the shelf and I took one.

Even though there are limits as to how many people can take, everything just seems to disappear.  :sad1:

We've had plenty to eat so that's excellent. What a scary time to live.

I'm glad you got your toilet paper :)

I can't find rubbing alcohol anywhere but we're not actually out of it yet.

I found some 70% alcohol at a Lidl store last week, they were limiting 2 per person, and since I shop for 2 houses I got 2 and my husband got 2 for my daughter.  Walmart the other day had some alcohol too, but it has been really hard.

I hunt for TP a few weeks back and have enough for a few more weeks, what it has been really hard for me to find, is Lysol spray and disinfectant wipes.  Hand sanitizer is also hard but I found some at Walmart, again 1 per person but my husband and daughter were with me so we got 3.

I have bought supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, soap, cleaning supplies, etc.) in bulk for years.  I will buy multiple packages when they are on sale just to keep from having to buy them month after month after month.  I usually have a 6 - 9 month supply when I restock.  I'm good on everything for the next few months.
Have a wonderful day!

Here in CA we wait on lines just to get into stores, then once in they are out of so much stuff.  Toilet paper is a real issue. We normally always have extra on hand, but it has gotten so close, couldn't find any for 3 weeks. In the past I usually get that delivered, but now you can't. Husband went to Walmart and found toilet paper there. Got the last pack and they only allow you to buy one.

My Mom has been having trouble finding Adult incontinence pads and toilet paper.  So, we kids have been ordering online (when can find the items) and having them delivered to her.  When I found something locally for Mom, I had to send it to her via the Post Office.  Shipping was like $15!

That is funny.  I order all of that on line and so far have not had a problem.  But I also order about a month ahead.  The rest of my family has been very happy about that of late, and quite giving me a hard time about it.  I also start a shipping list as soon as I get one confirmed with a ship date, so I am getting groceries about once a week.  I have also been able to get tp and wipes etc from Costco on line.
