I bought no toilet paper in the past month.

Why cause I buy a whole case of it a couple of times a year at BJ’s and I was already stocked.

So, don’t blame me. I did nothing to cause the shortage. My purchases were already calculated in as normal for the manufacturing models for how much to produce.

Store was just about out.

I live in Florida and go through this kind of nonsense every time there's a tropical storm watch. People buying cases upon cases of water (like their faucets don't work?), soda, and all kinds of other crap.

I made meals like shepherds pie, meat loaf and chili and then froze it.

Instant mashed potatoes, some pasta, rice, beans. Eggs will have those a few times this week.

I am good for two to three weeks.

I bought a shit load of clam chowder though cause my mom is very ill and that is all she eats. So I have to have that.
