3 days, 12 stores, finally found toilet paper!

It was like I struck gold or hit the lottery, when I went to Winn Dixie and there were a few rolls left. It was not the brand I usually buy, this was a more expensive brand, but now is not the time to be choosy. I had 4 rolls left at home and was starting to panic. LOL!
They were limiting it to one per customer. Now to replenish my hand sanitizer. I still have one bottle left

Not looking really hard, but I eat PB on celery pretty often. Until I ran out, I had no idea it was one of those things that seems impossible to find (at least around my area). Unfortunately, there are only a few brands I like, which makes the search tougher.

sigh

A very small price to pay.

or paper towels if not flushed.
Or cut up rags and launder.
Or step directly into shower after, if the job requires extensive clean up.

at a grocery store and she said people are ignoring packs of dinner napkins. I guess you can use those if you can’t find tp. Could probably find some at dollar stores, drugstores and at party supply stores as well.

Peanut Butter: a friend found some at a gas station/convenience store, plus some other things she needed. It’s more expensive to shop there but if its something you need, then try it. She also got a few extra travel size packs of tylenol and advil there.

I found some rubber gloves, that are reusable and can be rinsed in bleach or alcohol solution, in the automotive department at Walmart.

Time to think outside the box. Good luck everyone!

That's why I felt so lucky when I found some at Winn Dixie. Before I found the tp, I bought feminine wipes and baby wipes. So that's an option as well.
