Went grocery shopping last night. Went down my shopping list and saw that paper towels were on the list. Toilet paper, too.
I have a paper towel rack — one — in the kitchen. And, I keep one or two paper towel rolls in the cabinet above the stove. When the cabinet is empty, I buy another two-pack. Been that way for years.
Similar with the TP. Four rolls. When I’m down to two, I get another four-pack. Been that way for years.
Now, the horde of idiots that are hoarding paper products have already ransacked the grocery stores. here There were single rolls of store brand paper towels, and I got two, like always.
But no TP.
There will be no follow-up post about that last point. You’re welcome.
I buy 6 months or a year supply of tp at a time.
2 weeks ago I started running low so I was going to get some when I went shopping but I decided to put it off.
I’m down to 3 rolls.
I’m going to die, aren’t I?
Yes, but then, we all do at some point.
That’s true, but if Veeshir is like me, he doesn’t necessarily want it to be at this point.
How about unnecessarily?
Just-in-time supply line meets supply chain disruption. Prepping isn’t about fighting the zombies or nuclear war, it is, at it’s heart, about hardening our lives against sudden, unexpected, (but predictable) occurrences. That’s why a 12 pack of TP should be under each vanity in the house at all times.
That said, I have found a way to know for sure how seriously people are taking any given adverse event: The wine isle at WalMart. Whenever snow or hurricanes are in the forecast, those shelves are stripped bare by the ladies who dread the days ahead, stuck in the house with the kids. As of yesterday, the wine isle at my local WalMart was completely stocked. Not a can of soup or pack of instant potatoes in the store, but a full compliment of wine. The sales clerks are already anticipating all those paper products and cans of soup coming back in June.
Toilet paper is such a Western White male creation.
People (for lack of a better term) are looking for chest freezers at Target.
If you run into a paper towel shortage go to your home improvement or auto repair store and get “Shop Towels” which are just really high quality paper towels.
Could they be used as TP in a (ahem) pinch? Maybe – but they are much heavier than TP so I recommend you use in as small a size & quantity as possible. Do not stuff the toilet full then try to flush – that won’t work.
And remember, as a backup, there’s always the neighbor kid’s sandbox.
And never forget, your local bookseller probably has remaindered copies of Hillary Clinton’s last book available. Easily stackable.
That won’t work – her book is already full of s***.
Covfefe filters?
The pre-disposable-diapers approach?
Baby wipes. Duh.
No TP?
It is The End!
Went to the potty in the county jail
The T.P. can was out and I began to wail
The man was out of Charmin, I began to think
Pretty soon you’re gonna have those knocked out jailbirds stink
Let’s stock, everybody, let’s stock
Everybody wants a wholesale box
Advancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock (in rolls)
