I thought the brand was “butt tissue” at first glance

Those two carts are straight up a year's worth of TP for my family of three.

I hate these fucking people, with a passion.
WoodyAllen69
I work at Walmart. We got 2 pallets of toilet paper today and they were gone before they even got to the shelves. Shits bonkers
Kunitsu
yup, it never sees the shelves at my local walmart... people were yanking the packages out of employees hands... i cant believe people....

I work at Costco and fuck all these types of members.

The real victims of coronavirus are the trees.

Honestly that’s over doing it. Wth. Limit one to two per family. Not 6!
agreed....
Bokkanb
While I understand the vitriol. At this point friends family neighbors and even coworkers are out and each are going in different directions
Promising to buy for others if they score. Some might be hoarding but moe likely nore is ther results of previous shortages
blue9uy
Fk ppl keep buying masks. spring allergy is hitting me hard and no mask for me during work in construction
joesmith369
Lowes by me had actually had some - bought one 2-pack, need them for the same reason. They had TP too :D
decorativemooseknuckle
I want to wait outside Costco with a hose and turn their unreasonably selfish haul into a short bus paper mache project
FlissFloss86Gaming
Are any stores limiting TP? Like x amount of rolls maximum per customer? That might be a quick way to mitigate some of this dipshittery
Geatora94
My local CVS is, thank God. Every other store is sold out
Suzuran42
Our Costco is because people were driving here from 2 hours away in big trucks to buy it all.
they really should... i havent been able to buy any for my house thanks to the stupid hoarders
disauraderlyninja
And shame in the stores for allowing so much to be sold to one customer. Limit 2 per paying customer.
NotTodayBro438
Wish someone would just tip over all their carts. Run by cart tipping for idiots who hoard 1 years worth of toilet paper like their dumbass
MarcUK
Better to get on the tannoy, "All toilet paper is being recalled because the manufacturer as the coronavirus!". Watch them flip. :D
is gonna survive an actual pandemic apocolypse. If shit hit the fan so much that that amount of toilet paper is required, they wouldnt make
it and survive past a few weeks
The701
These are just dormant genes resurfacing. The survivors of the last apocalypse only made it because they hoarded toilet paper. Now that
primitive, inexplicable urge drives their descendants once again, and they shall be the ones to carry forth our devastated civilization.

Fucking morons. Those are the only words to describe them.

TroegsBeer4life
I asked someone at a store if they were planning on eating the TP? If you’re wondering I bought 6 boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Xionis
What are you going to eat for the other 13 days in your 2 week quarantine?
falk0r420
Stockin the essentials
bluesun68
At Costco? That's a lifetime supply
LeRouxTheAngryChiwawa
Ahhh yeah we are on the same wave length I bought the same on the way home, you know just in case.
T~T i just wanted some ramen, noone in my area eats it usually so the shelves are usually stocked full... today was bare... i wanted to cry
Anwinity
Wait wait wait. Europe spells it "tyre" ???
jfred325350
And "centre"
Yeah but I feel like that one is relatively commonly known. I had no idea about tyre.
I got used to seeing both reading phamplets for European made machinery, never really seen it much otherwise
a8earthrise
I scrolled to see who else noticed this!
TooOldToBeRealLife
It just occurred to me it’s for black market price gouging resale.
IAmAnthonyStark
The people hoarding are bad. But those who do this to price gouge are their own special breed of ass fucks.
Caonashi78
I saw someone selling a 30 roll on Amazon for almost $600
mangrovia
Just report it. Retailers dont want to be seen allowing it
I did report it. I went back to take a screen shot and it was already removed by the time I went back to Amazon. I was pleasantly surprised.
Are there laws against this now that the “state of emergency” has been announced? I know stores can’t, but can individuals?
Viper3232
For most states, yes
Aaand yup. There it is. Sigh. Humanity. +1

I swear if I see any yard signs for tp in going to either steal them, change the wording, or just prank call the number
That's so upsetting. We have a coupon lady who has been selling her stock for super cheap to those in the neighborhood
rendragnet
Yep, it’s $15AUD a roll on eBay at the moment here, it’s insane!
Tairu8
I guarantee this is what occurred at the Costco near my house. I went to buy ONE pack the other day and there was nothing left
thematman92
My roommate bought a 12 pack the day before this all happened. Now no amount of Tp will wipe the smug grin off his face.
hogdmyer
I'm soo happy that since I'm a single male, and love bargain shopping, so I always have loads of supplies. I just needed to stock up on food
BadWolfDivides
Took me 3 days to find decent toilet paper in stock, then it was wiped out when I went back two days later
faultysage
Haven't most places put on purchase limits by this point?
eddbrowne
Be a hardass; use your hand.
Ialwaysupvotewinston
They are rationing water and TP in the part of Jersey that we live in
SomeDetroitGuy
Buying mass amounts of water is fucking idiotic. Folks know it comes out of the tap, right?
My wife and I have said the same thing
MrWookloaf
A stores around here tripled the price, cause they're slimy fuckers to begin with.
Report them. Lots of municipalities are cracking down on gouging
Ya they have been, they are a big chain though. Names Sobeys if you've heard of them. Fuckers anywaya.
UVAChemE2013
Looks like Costco limits you to one pack per person as well
SirVG
That would require stock to put a purchase limit on.
Wegmans limits you to one pack
ArtOzz
That's what I was thinking, but even then those seem pointless. Just come back an hour later and a wage slave ain't gonna give a fuck.
RoncoSnackWeasel3001
Where I used to work, the system allowed us to break it into separate transactions to take advantage as much as possible.
Caspooky
And when you call someone out for it, they'll complain and hold up the line demanding to see the manager anyway
ScienceIsntAboutWhyItsAboutWhyNot
That. Or they will make a scene and demand to talk to the manager.
Rugmier
Or they will throw a baby tantrum and ask to speak to the LOD
True, but the more of a hassle it is the less hoarding will happen.
icelaw
Lol, like a "wage slave" stating "that's above the imposed limit you can buy!" then just walks away not giving a f--k
LetTheWorldBurnSinceNoOneFFFingCares
At costco it's tied to your account. It will not ring up additional ones
I upvoted but its because CostCo, can you relay my upvote the next time you visit CostCo to them?
Will do! :p

Duckfacejones
This pic was taken 2 or 3 weeks ago. Limits are in place now.
vampirelazarus
To add to the other great points: purchase limits aren't going to stop people from trying, then yelling loudly when they are told they can't
T0go
For $9 an hour the two people manning the self checkout aren't going to fight somebody over toilet paper.
Believe it or not 90% of people will respond well to "Excuse me sir, but we're limiting purchases to 2 per household right now."
MothMonsterMan
I will. I'll take minimum wage if they let me berate the people who try to grab over 2.
nope, even my area is just now considering it because they cant even stock the shelves, people are ripping the packages out of the employees
hands, or just taking the big ass boxes full of em before they can be opened to put on the shelves... its fucking insane
What is going on. Love your neighbors like Mr Roger's said!!!!
lidocaine85
Stores don’t care. It’s like buying a case of cartons of eggs 3 days before Halloween. Everyone knows but it’s still a sale.
HaikuSorrow
Sorry, what do you mean? We don't have Halloween.
I mean 3 stores near me have put limits into effect.
Pumuchei
I just don't get it. I could see emptying shelves of non perishables and canned food...this is just infuriatingly stupid
mooseandsquirrell
It's getting to that point that the canned goods and non perishables are going empty
yup... mac n cheese, ramen, canned soup were all cleared out of my store today. i nearly fought a lady over the 8 boxes of the cheapest mac
n cheese i could get. she bitched at me over not being able to feed herself to last out the virus.... her whole car was full of shit
Empty for like 8 hours, restocked, empty again in 10 hours. Grocery stores will be hurting in a couple of weeks because of this pre-buying.
I mean, they will still have the money they made from the last couple days
Edivan1120
Agreed i went out to get a normal amount of TP and ass hats like these had cleaned out both stores i visited.
yup T~T ive got 4 rolls left to last however long this nutty shit carries on for.... a family of 4, or 5 if you include my brother who has
been down daily to work on my cars.... 4 rolls isnt going to last me the week
PrincessLeliana
Can someone explain the toilet paper to me? Of all things to hoard, why is it toilet paper and not like, food, alcohol, medicine, etc?
emceeb
I used to wonder this too, but them US went ahead and elected trump and now things are much clear to me.
frozenboot
Our local news asked TP buyers their reason and multiple people said it's because they can eat it... Mmm TP soup!
patriciaausbun127001statPat
Our T paper comes from China; their factories are closed due to Covid-19. Dollar general makes their own in America; you CAN find it there
Whose toilet paper comes from China? Angel Soft, Cottonelle and Charmin are both made exclusively in the US and make up 80% of sales.

Someone start panic buying it which caused a mass panic buy. And now regular people are rushing to get theirs before hoarders do.

Toothpaste. That is all
Aysling
A lot of people are choosing to self-isolate to try to prevent illness (like me). IDK about everyone else, but I got about 2x my normal
bulk shopping in TP, food, snacks, water, and a few other things. I have a 90 day supply of meds. I did my monthly bulk shopping two weeks
early and shouldn't have to leave my house for a month. I'm in a high risk demo. Self-isolating before there are cases in your area is the
best way to prevent infection.
mycatToastwasafatasshole
There was a manufacturer in Wuhan that shut down and it disrupted some supply. That made people panic thinking all TP came from China.
They're idiots. 80% of US toilet paper comes from three companies, all of whom make most of it in the US.
Lontri
Some Finnish psychologist said that toilet paper is an easy symbol of hygiene and comes in big packs so that's why people are hoarding it.
They want to feel like they're in control, but in reality they're just being stupid and have no common sense.
Spooktergeist
When your a huge asshole you're gonna need a huge amount of toilet paper.
russiandollsarejustsofullofthemselves
In Northern Ireland all the pasta, rice, and painkillers are gone. I tried 8 different supermarkets, nothing.
Lunardenizen
Easy, the bigger an asshole you are the more TP you need
Kimgur1
If you can't leave your house for at least 2 weeks, don't you think you'd want enough TP? I'd hate to have to take a shower every #4.
yallmfsneedjesus
Who one planet earth beeds that much for 2 weeks? One of those packs would last a large family for a month at least. Fucking stupid.
Maybe they have a family of 40. For a family of 4 with 3 females, that wouldn't last a week at my place :)
ratcamper
Lol. Like I can afford alcohol.
Xaldyn
Because people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.
HydrochloricKitten
Johnny Carson once caused a TP shortage in Calif by joking -- JOKING -- that there was one in his monologue. This is sadly not surprising.

doobiedoobop
In Australia it started with facebook memes that China's ports are closed and all our TP comes from China (it doesn't) ... no idea about US
BigOleSticky
TLDR; idiots buying all the TP, causing people who need it to try and horde it as well
dmeyers13360
Pack mentality. They are following others blindly.
Bolderox
A mix of, people go to the store, can't find any, go to 2 other stores, and then when they find any, they buy more than they need.
And people see australia and are scalping
PaulSites12
A couple news stories get shared on social media and then it gets blown right out, causing a panic for NO FUCKING REASON.
doubleyouexwhyandz
You clearly are not an asshole.
Bella2Loki
They’re hitting food, meds now, alcohol & sanitizer u can’t even find now. Rice, pillsbury biscuits (no idea why), meat is scarce too.
AirplaneNerd
Good luck finding pasta or ramen in the Seattle area at this point.
Yup that too
thatwasntmine
Every time someone coughs, a hundred shit.
A proctor and gamble plant actually was to close by 2020 and people have been sending group messages saying get your TP before it closes.
PentaD22
With how much people are buying right now they could probably afford to keep the plant open (Aside from Covid-19 related closure of course)

Hand soap section is full of soap you would think it would go hand in hand with toilet paper.
Sell for profit?
IATTM
Oh don't worry; it's everything else too.
I bought extra food and medicine - about 2 weeks of dry food (we almost never get that) and about 2 weeks of medicine for the family. I dont
understand why folks are getting all crazy about some stuff. Bottled water, toilet paper... makes no sense. I saw a woman with 8 bottles of
bleach in her cart (each 1 gallon / about 4 liters). What are you doing with that? Cleaning up a murder scene?
Embercrest
At Costco saw a guy with about 6 of those giant bottles of apple juice....... hes deff gonna need those store of TP after that
lyingblondeguy
But what are you going to do when all that food comes back out...? Checkmate!
Bought a bidet attachment for my toilet on Amazon. Arrives tomorrow. We bought a 24 pack of toilet paper last week, still have 21 rolls.
MrPicklesAndTea
I convinced my parents to buy a bidet, which I've been trying to for awhile, they are now in the lap of luxury.
oohHEoohHAHA
I bought one at Christmas for my husband (who likes pooping) & he was so offended he made me return it. I wish we still had that bidet now.
Chainhealer
Why on earth would someone be offended by that?
redbaron707
People have started hoarding milk here.
Hoarding mi- IT GOES LUMPY IN A WEEK!! My god, people are dumb.
Great idea let’s hoard perishable items
kawaiimeeshe
Local Costco was out of eggs and bread. Safeway out of dry beans and rice
Beans and rice were gone yesterday when I went. This morning, fully stocked. Eggs and bread were gone today, bet they are full tomorrow.
Beans and rice will last at least......but spoiled eggs and moldy bread sound like a treat /s
d3jake
Ignorance and panic.
EwGrooss
People are scared. Panicked reaction. They don’t know what to do, so doing anything helps to ease their worry

Just horde bullets! Then you can get the rest later!

You joke, but 9mm was totally empty when I went to academy last night. Everything else was stocked, just 9mm was gone. People are dumb.

That's actually happening. Guns and ammo lines at Academy. Because America.
Moopahdoopah
Yeah, I laughed. Then I got sad. Because I knew that people actually be like that.
rvcaptn
what is truly American is buying bullets at a place called Academy
I was at the gun shop today and it was pretty busy. More people then normal buying. But there was a employee discount going on to the public
nosaucesbutapplesauces
Shhhh! Let them think toilet paper is important!

At this point I think it's being fueled by perception that everyone is buying it up and there won't be any left.
Mamaof2QTs
^^THIS. I have 8 rolls. I was worried at first but now... a household of 5 and only 8 rolls? We may move to leaves if it doesn’t stop.
I Wasn’t worried
It’s a vicious cycle for sure
MeetMyCuteQuotaNow
I imagine it will be restocked by next week.
jbrontey
This is right. Only reason to buy is others are or you won't have any. Buying bottled water is more stupiderer.
kyranthecrafter
there's none left.
Yeah, I went to go resupply our monthly stock of tp in the house and there was only 6 packs of tp in the whole aisle.
Exactly, but the TP companies (90% is made in America, & more in Canada) are expanding production as possible. This won't last long.
Footstepsofdawn
Until then I’m rocking the picnic napkins.
I'm sorry bro, I have 3 jumbo packs from Costco, I'd give you a roll. *I bought a Costco pack in November, they last me forever. #WorkPoop
Just to clarify, I have 3 of the 5 packs in a Costco pack left. I can't think of a better term to differentiate currently. #HalfDrunk haha
PlanetForScale
If you are immune compromised you may need a couple months supply to reduce going out. Then scarcity mindset occurs among those observing?
Crackheadpirate
Because they see other people hoarding it and they think they're missing out by not hoarding it to basically sheeple.
JimmySmits
TP is just getting the most attention. Alcohol wipes are hard to find, and have tripled in price in some markets. Cleaning products are
bigwormfriday
Me and my wife just got back from the store, beans and rice and stuff like that also totally cleaned out.
being constantly bought out. Certain foods, like rice and canned goods, are also being bought in large quantities.
HerbYourEnthusiasm
This is correct. I did my monthly shop tonight and fuuuuuuuuckkkkk they were out of a lot of things.
And don't forget that people with diabetes need alcohol pads to sterilize their injections
OpossumJesusHasRisen
Speaking of prices, I just saw an asshole selling 4 packs of toilet paper for $100 ea on Facebook market. Wtf is wrong with people?
Those make sense though. Disinfectant stuff. What tf does tp help with? one of those bags is enough for a family for a month
AgainstMethod
If there's going to be a shortage of something you'll need, it makes some sense to try & stock up. You can have a run on any commodity.
You specifically asked why TP and not these other items that make more sense...
Bar soap is every bit as effective too and our local grocery store had TONS of it. ZERO liquid soap though. People. Are. Dumb.
chivesandcoffee
Totally agreed! I put a bar of soap in our office bathroom and the disgusted looks were out of this world.
Soap and water is all that's needed.
And some friction.
Micro2112
Dish soap is just as effective against c19. The virus has an oily outer layer that the soap breaks drown
All I see is soap sperm
zenosparadox1101
Then why not a soap derived remedy?

Because your body also has necessary oils inside of it...

You... want to inject soap into someone's blood stream? I just, I just need to know if this is a joke or not. I can't tell anymore.

People in Australia stated it. Most toilet paper in Australia is made in China. They thought they would run out

I've seen Costco canned chicken being resold on Amazon for 3 times the store price.

Sold out now: www.amazon.com/dp/B00T0BUKW8/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_LUgBEbV0ZTHER
FrenchPressBenchPress
Nah, the supply won't go down so they'd be selling it for less than what they bought it for.
CaffeinatedNecromancer
That's what someone who works at Walmart said she heard a woman say when she refused to give a pack to someone whose kid has bowel disease

Yeah with the amount these characters have in their carts Im guessing its for resale.

Ebay already started to crack down on toilet paper scalpers. Same with Amazon. Craigslist, I have no idea.

That'll be the next war. The TP Alliance versus The Bidet Conglomerate. Choose a side or die.
jennym123
What really? I thought people just started panic buying it randomly.
Xenophemera
It absolutely started in Australia. They heard the word quarantine and immediately began panic buying as tho they’d be trapped in their —
— homes for the next year.
The rumor said that TP factories would shut down to make face masks. Nonsense from the get-go.

Went to go get a few groceries today. No TP, no paper towels, soap, and very little meat. It was like this at all stores. People are idiots.
yup, went to go buy what food i could afford for the week, no meat, TP, paper towels, and most of the dish soap was gone too
Ask the customer service desk when next restock is planned. Our local was wiped at 1pm stocked at 4; was able to get basics.
Meat? That's weird. Why stockpile meat?

Just went to the grocery store, no TP, meat, rice, soap, frozen fruit, and frozen veggies. Lines were ridiculous...

Moose Jaw, You rock but others will need it more! I have janitorial services at work so if I’m really in trouble I can “borrow” a roll.
Add a bidet????
humanhotplate
Go to lowes and buy a hose, hook it up to the water line for your bathroom sink, bam, redneck bidet
Or just use the tub & a shower wand!

If you wet paper towels down they don't feel so bad. Some are softer. They just don't break down in toilets so you have throw them away.

i'm happy that i bought an extra pack on monday, because i knew this stupidity was only going to increase. i didn't want to buy a bunch and
add to the problem, but i wanted an extra 6 rolls before it was all sold out for weeks

Buy baby wipes. Idiots don’t realize they’re superior anyway

Not one container of baby wipes at walmart today.

Just please don’t flush them

Please no. I have 2 toddlers that shit 5 times a day.

As a person with babies, god I hope the wipes don't start selling out

So far ive sen them in plentiful stock everywhere ive been. But even the lemons were all gone

Just get in the shower afterwards.
You're not wrong, but then I feel like I'd need to disinfect the entire shower. That would be time consuming.

Girls use toilet paper for pee too. I’m going to need to take 12 showers a day once my last roll is gone
MonkeyStormtrooper
Stop drinking liquids :) in all seriousness tho why not rinse and use a towel?
Yeah, I’m thinking of a water bottle spritz and dry as a solution
Have a shower wand? His on edge of tub, turn on hot water, turn on wand and wand it off.
Then use a small cloth to dry off & toss in cloths hamper to wash.
BabyHuey206
This has been going on for like 2 weeks. Do you not follow the news?
AnniCannibal
Personally been hoping to outlast the hype. I have abt 2 rolls left, should be good for another 2 weeks or so, but still..keeping my eye out
anabel01
2 rolls lasts two weeks? Having 2 teens in my house we go through about a roll a day!
Perks of never being home, I suppose
You must me a man. As a female, we have to wipe every time so we go thru so much more...trying to ration but it's impossible
Nope, I also have my monthly subscription to Lucifer's waterfall. But I'm rarely home, so that's helpful

I want to wait outside Costco with a hose and turn their unreasonably selfish haul into a short bus paper mache project
FlissFloss86Gaming
Are any stores limiting TP? Like x amount of rolls maximum per customer? That might be a quick way to mitigate some of this dipshittery
Geatora94
My local CVS is, thank God. Every other store is sold out
Suzuran42
Our Costco is because people were driving here from 2 hours away in big trucks to buy it all.

they really should... i havent been able to buy any for my house thanks to the stupid hoarders
disauraderlyninja
And shame in the stores for allowing so much to be sold to one customer. Limit 2 per paying customer.

I saw someone selling a 30 roll on Amazon for almost $600

Just report it. Retailers dont want to be seen allowing it
Caonashi78
I did report it. I went back to take a screen shot and it was already removed by the time I went back to Amazon. I was pleasantly surprised.

Are there laws against this now that the “state of emergency” has been announced? I know stores can’t, but can individuals?

Yep, it’s $15AUD a roll on eBay at the moment here, it’s insane!

I guarantee this is what occurred at the Costco near my house. I went to buy ONE pack the other day and there was nothing left
thematman92
My roommate bought a 12 pack the day before this all happened. Now no amount of Tp will wipe the smug grin off his face.
hogdmyer
I'm soo happy that since I'm a single male, and love bargain shopping, so I always have loads of supplies. I just needed to stock up on food

Took me 3 days to find decent toilet paper in stock, then it was wiped out when I went back two days later

Haven't most places put on purchase limits by this point?

MrWookloaf
A stores around here tripled the price, cause they're slimy fuckers to begin with.

Ya they have been, they are a big chain though. Names Sobeys if you've heard of them. Fuckers anywaya.
UVAChemE2013
Looks like Costco limits you to one pack per person as well
SirVG
That would require stock to put a purchase limit on.
UVAChemE2013
Wegmans limits you to one pack
ArtOzz
That's what I was thinking, but even then those seem pointless. Just come back an hour later and a wage slave ain't gonna give a fuck.
RoncoSnackWeasel3001
Where I used to work, the system allowed us to break it into separate transactions to take advantage as much as possible.
Caspooky
And when you call someone out for it, they'll complain and hold up the line demanding to see the manager anyway
ScienceIsntAboutWhyItsAboutWhyNot
That. Or they will make a scene and demand to talk to the manager.
Rugmier
Or they will throw a baby tantrum and ask to speak to the LOD

True, but the more of a hassle it is the less hoarding will happen.
icelaw
Lol, like a "wage slave" stating "that's above the imposed limit you can buy!" then just walks away not giving a f--k

At costco it's tied to your account. It will not ring up additional ones

To add to the other great points: purchase limits aren't going to stop people from trying, then yelling loudly when they are told they can't

For $9 an hour the two people manning the self checkout aren't going to fight somebody over toilet paper.

Believe it or not 90% of people will respond well to "Excuse me sir, but we're limiting purchases to 2 per household right now."

I will. I'll take minimum wage if they let me berate the people who try to grab over 2.

nope, even my area is just now considering it because they cant even stock the shelves, people are ripping the packages out of the employees

I just don't get it. I could see emptying shelves of non perishables and canned food...this is just infuriatingly stupid

It's getting to that point that the canned goods and non perishables are going empty

yup... mac n cheese, ramen, canned soup were all cleared out of my store today. i nearly fought a lady over the 8 boxes of the cheapest mac

n cheese i could get. she bitched at me over not being able to feed herself to last out the virus.... her whole car was full of shit
hogdmyer
Empty for like 8 hours, restocked, empty again in 10 hours. Grocery stores will be hurting in a couple of weeks because of this pre-buying.

I mean, they will still have the money they made from the last couple days
Edivan1120
Agreed i went out to get a normal amount of TP and ass hats like these had cleaned out both stores i visited.

Can someone explain the toilet paper to me? Of all things to hoard, why is it toilet paper and not like, food, alcohol, medicine, etc?

I used to wonder this too, but them US went ahead and elected trump and now things are much clear to me.

Our local news asked TP buyers their reason and multiple people said it's because they can eat it... Mmm TP soup!
patriciaausbun127001statPat
Our T paper comes from China; their factories are closed due to Covid-19. Dollar general makes their own in America; you CAN find it there

There was a manufacturer in Wuhan that shut down and it disrupted some supply. That made people panic thinking all TP came from China.

They're idiots. 80% of US toilet paper comes from three companies, all of whom make most of it in the US.

Some Finnish psychologist said that toilet paper is an easy symbol of hygiene and comes in big packs so that's why people are hoarding it.

If you can't leave your house for at least 2 weeks, don't you think you'd want enough TP? I'd hate to have to take a shower every #4.

Who one planet earth beeds that much for 2 weeks? One of those packs would last a large family for a month at least. Fucking stupid.

A proctor and gamble plant actually was to close by 2020 and people have been sending group messages saying get your TP before it closes.

If there's going to be a shortage of something you'll need, it makes some sense to try & stock up. You can have a run on any commodity.

Went today, I have 2 rolls left. Shelves empty. At least someone has like 240 rolls probably
UncleTrevy
Moose Jaw, You rock but others will need it more! I have janitorial services at work so if I’m really in trouble I can “borrow” a roll.
SociallyAwkwardCanadianMoose
Add a bidet????
humanhotplate
Go to lowes and buy a hose, hook it up to the water line for your bathroom sink, bam, redneck bidet
LenWeirdracin
Or just use the tub & a shower wand!
SpecialContainmentProcedures
If you wet paper towels down they don't feel so bad. Some are softer. They just don't break down in toilets so you have throw them away.

What? You don't have curtains?
alticaarden

Husband says Home Depot and Lowe’s still have it. Good luck!
SuperTacticalSandwich
Me too. Finally something to be concerned about with this coronavirus
boethius
Same here. Damn it.
FirstThingThatCameToMind
time to invest in a bidet

I went to 2 stores today, no TP. Sam's Club is also out.
Repostradamus
If you're near one check Dollar tree. It's not fancy but my local store had tons of TP left
ArtOzz
I'm a savage. I'm just using kitchen towel.
Cat2BKittenMe
I bought a couple of boxes of tissues to hold my family out until the stores get more.
mguintomg2718
dollar stores are a good place to start looking. most of the big box stores around me have a waiting list
PonyMadness
Guess the fever (no pun intended) hasn't struck NM yet. Just went shopping yesterday and nobody was doomsday prepping toilet paper.
TheGlow
I just got back from Walmart, today is just a regular pay day for me, pick up some stuff. Savages indeed. Anything made of paper, gone.
Stormsfall
Went for a small 7lb bag of dog food for my wife’s miniature poodle. Had to buy a 44lbs bag from tractor supply website just to get the 1/2
Stormsfall
Type of food his old 14 year old butt uses.
Stormsfall
Ridiculous people.
bourbonandbaddecisions
That was me last weekend. I had to hit three places before I found a store that had some in stock.
Vaeevictiss
No old socks? They are washable
Rugmier

Asian market. Nobody is going there. And if you need to prepper you can get a 50lb bag of rice.

Baby wipes work great
maelstromverbae
Yeah but that takes baby wipes against families with actual infants who need soft wipes so their babies don't suffer horrendously painful
maelstromverbae
rashes. Please don't do this.
damienxwaltz
bro, if you have an iphone, im willing to trade you for it -lmfaooo

May I recommend a bidet. Easy to install and better for your ass anyway
unlikeableonline
Easy to install if you have an outlet next to your toilet.
Trigillia
Try a discount store, like dollar tree or dollar general. I found a good amount yesterday!
absentmind13
Good luck...
januskincaid
I'm currently using tissues, so... I feel ya. And my fingers, unfortunately.
bundleofwoodensticks
Where you at, fam?
8kiddosisenough
I'll spot you some.. I am always stocked.
HsuDoNihm
Go to the rich end of town and hit the stores with the highest prices. They still have plenty.
DaveSamsonite
People use it to cover their fingers when they touch surfaces that may be contaminated. As a barrier. Many do this at the toilet exit door
LadiesPleaseDontPmMeYourNudes
Just go with paper towels or tissues. Still plenty of that and practically the same
litelbrown
Hit a pharmacy like CVS. I had no problem there while grocery stores are out.
ohnoofcourseyourright
I got the last at my store. Four individual rolls. One didn't even have a wrapper on it lol. I'm ready for newspapers and rubbing like a dog
Hedgehogsareadorable
I was the same way. Thankfully a guy was just opening boxes when I went yesterday and was able to get a pack. Not my fav but it works
TOOLfan303
Try grocery stores when they open. Usually freshly stocked with all they'll get today.
WithaChainedHorseDick
I got lucky at Sam's club, everything was out of stock except for the sandpaper that a business would use
Maveric315
I have a buddy who had to buy the good stuff, now he’s worried he won’t be able to go back
CongratsYouAreHereNow
i'm happy that i bought an extra pack on monday, because i knew this stupidity was only going to increase. i didn't want to buy a bunch and
CongratsYouAreHereNow
add to the problem, but i wanted an extra 6 rolls before it was all sold out for weeks
Lowktar
John Wayne toilet paper. Rough, tough, and don't take shit from nobody.
BobberAnne
But that's exactly what I need it to do. =(
HelpfulHomo

davidtheartist9000
Buy baby wipes. Idiots don’t realize they’re superior anyway
Shadarim
Some stores are sold out of those too.
beigeComputerJunkie
Not one container of baby wipes at walmart today.
nero4ty2
Just please don’t flush them
iloveyouspikespiegel
Please no. I have 2 toddlers that shit 5 times a day.
MiZfUnKy45
As a person with babies, god I hope the wipes don't start selling out
zsefvgb
So far ive sen them in plentiful stock everywhere ive been. But even the lemons were all gone
totesamaze
Me too. Every is sold out except for gas stations!! No one thinks to look there
HoraceHorseCollar
Take the rolls from public restrooms!
Effyroams
Don’t you dare....
Chewthestitches
Well they didn't. Thanks!
anon311919
Dollar tree too
zsefvgb
Here everyone forgot about the hardware store
triggerhappy939
Was literally just at the local gas station and they had a shelf full lol

WarningThisElectricianMayShockYou
Just get in the shower afterwards.
hogdmyer
You're not wrong, but then I feel like I'd need to disinfect the entire shower. That would be time consuming.
andychristman2000
We got bidets for our toilets saves money and keeps that booty fresh!
JalexanderUK
No one likes a shitty shower
kirstyjunior
Girls use toilet paper for pee too. I’m going to need to take 12 showers a day once my last roll is gone
MonkeyStormtrooper
Stop drinking liquids :) in all seriousness tho why not rinse and use a towel?
kirstyjunior
Yeah, I’m thinking of a water bottle spritz and dry as a solution
LenWeirdracin
Have a shower wand? His on edge of tub, turn on hot water, turn on wand and wand it off.
LenWeirdracin
Then use a small cloth to dry off & toss in cloths hamper to wash.
BabyHuey206
This has been going on for like 2 weeks. Do you not follow the news?
AnniCannibal
Personally been hoping to outlast the hype. I have abt 2 rolls left, should be good for another 2 weeks or so, but still..keeping my eye out
anabel01
2 rolls lasts two weeks? Having 2 teens in my house we go through about a roll a day!
AnniCannibal
Perks of never being home, I suppose
Supernatastic
You must me a man. As a female, we have to wipe every time so we go thru so much more...trying to ration but it's impossible
AnniCannibal
Nope, I also have my monthly subscription to Lucifer's waterfall. But I'm rarely home, so that's helpful
