coffee filters could be substituted for TP

[demtenjeep]

We always buy one package ahead of what we need so we are okay for a week.

1. Remove the coffee grounds first, though.

5. I've used that excuse before

[mshasta]

6. Lol

What a dark side!

[OneBlueDotBama]

2. Never reuse.... n/t

[Nature Man]

3. oh FFS

if you have a water source, you can just wash your ass. It's not like showers are going to stop working.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Which is why I don't understand the run on bottled water.

There's no threat to the water supply. Why are people going nuts buying water and TP?

[GoCubsGo]

15. It's crazy.

It's sad how dependent many have become on disposable paper products. Did it never occur to people to just get some damp cloths and run them through the laundry after use, should they run out of TP?

[tavernier]

10. Exactly!

Cut an old towel into 40 pieces and use as washrags.

This is essentially a respiratory event, not a lot of diarrhea reported.

4. What, no Sears Robuck catalog available?

Hey, our Grandparents did. And its a much cheaper alternative to other options!!

[marble falls]

11. No Sears, no Roebuck: NO catalogue.

[aeromanKC]

16. No Dice!!

In my best Jeff Spicoli voice.

18. Oh Dice is still around, he just looks like your unemployed uncle ...

Even has to tuck his neck fat in. And he uses Bics to do his Zippo tricks - arthritis.

8. I heard about a guy who used TP when he ran out of coffee filters

The coffee tasted like...well, you know..

[GoCubsGo]

9. Or, just take a page from the days before disposable diapers.

Use damp washcloths or other cloths, and launder them. It's a good way to repurpose old clothing that you were planning to throw out. Keep a covered pail in the bathroom, and dump it in the washer when it gets full. This "toilet paper substitutes" thing is starting to get fucking ridiculous.

12. You need one of these

Water/bug sprayer.

A permanent alternative is add a kitchen sprayer by your toilet.

13. Hah! I'm more worried about running out of coffee filters than I am TP!

I just bought a box of 100, but am thinking maybe I should buy more.

[TruckFump]

14. Great.

I have nothing but K-Cups...and DO NOT go there with any suggestions!

[jmg257]

17. Plenty of tissue at the stores I was at recently. nt

[customerserviceguy]

19. There's a difference

between TP and all other kinds of paper. I found this out when my lady dared me to research the facial tissues that I was tossing in the toilet.

TP is designed to break down rapidly in water. Facial tissues are not. I would suppose that would also be the case with newspaper, Sears catalogs, and especially coffee filters that are designed to stand up to very hot water.

If you want sewer or septic problems now, when it could be dicey to get a service truck, then keep using things that were not designed as toilet paper for that very use.

[shanti]

20. Then there's the phone book/yellow pages

Oh wait...

[Squinch]

21. I DO NOT GET this toilet paper thing!!!!! Or the bottled water thing.

[The Blue Flower]

22. Then what do you use for coffee filters?

I stocked up on my favorite half-caff today.
