Neither did Home Depot. I have a industrial roll I got from a friend (you know those stupid huge ones at public bathrooms?) who owns a restaurant to tide me over until this all ends. Amazon is delivering me 24 rolls of their Presto brand on the 28th. I paid $10 but good luck finding it now.

I'll never let my stock dwindle down to 2 new rolls again ever. Who knew we were going to become toilet paper hoarders?! It's so weird.

Literally, my stores have nothing anymore. Added bonus, the Randall's I was at today had an alarm sound go off every 10 minutes and all the employees stopped what they were doing and disinfected all the surfaces near them. Which is nice and all, but added to the mega long lines.

Apparently, everyone here just learned about COVID-19 upon waking up to the news of our new local cases. Which, of course, sent them all to the store to buy up everything.

The demographic skews younger, so I was perplexed at their sudden trend toward being preppers.

A group I'm in was trading wine for TP... sadly, I had no wine to barter. If I'd have thought I'm sitting on a dragons hoard of Purell for my husbands business. I probably could have landed the most expensive TP delivered to my door!

I just got our subscribe and save before things went nuts. We get this twice a year.

Am I looking at my retirement fund?

I do not get this. There's plenty of ways to wipe your ass.

But you can't make food with toilet paper.

production of toilet paper gets it back on shelves and the exploiters end up with rolls and rolls of TP that no one is interested in buying.

They only cost $30 or so.

I think it's crazy we're still using paper.
