Maybe the hoarders got it right after all ?

Get your non-perishable stuff while you can get it, because it won't be there later !

I would think people would buy stuff like canned tuna , and food items with long shelf lives, but no the most important thing to Americans is toilet paper, we are a nation of Al Bundy mentality people !

What on Earth did people do before Joseph Gayetty invented TP in 1857 ?

this is surreal, it's like an episode of the Twilight Zone

You pretty much have to buy 20 of something , instead of a reasonable 2, because the next person will hog it up.

You have to hoard shit you routinely use/want, or it won't be there !

Sad, but True !

the hoarding of non- perishable stuff like TP and H&B stuff will only increase as the paranoia increases.

I'm a fan of wet toilet paper ( essentially baby wipes ) , to finish the job after a dry wipe.

I'm a big fan of Walmart's Pure'n Gentle refills that cost 98 cents for a package of 90

it's often sold out in normal times, hard to get

UPC is 7128783748 with a 0 way before that number and a 1 way after it.

it's a great product !, and cheap !

I went in early and there was like 50 on the shelf, I was tempted to buy them all, but took 12, to leave some for the next person

it is TP if needed, but I use it as a finish wipe between showers, primarily

certain things are essential for me....

lip balm/ chapstick/ carmex, whatever you want to call it

TP and wipes are up there

Food and water, tap water is okay enough

alcohol, like at least a bottle of Dubra

Wish I had hoarded. Went through a whole roll after Taco Tuesday.

don't flush any wipe type stuff, you'll fuck up your plumbing, big time

your chances are best first thing in the morning, after the seniors get their first shot at the goods

we might have to go to WW2 type rationing of TP, soon ?

any of you'se guys using newspaper yet ?

corn on the cob is out of season, plenty of leaves in my yard, though

I still have a shitload of TP that I bought over the years on sale.

if you don't have it already, you ain't getting it, anytime soon !

sad, but it is reality

even when things get back to normal, people will stock up big time on this stuff, so it will be a long time before normalization, if ever ?

Getting to the point where it could be news print and I would be OK

Preppers have it right but Hoarders never have it right. sitting in a rat-infested basement with 2700 piled-up empty bags of dog food along with every NYT paper since 1973 is not the same as having a 3-mo food/water source, growing own food, making own medicine, and a stockpile of guns and ammo

Where do U live ? Ny?

100 or so miles East of NYC, near Old Saybrook, Ct , 06475, a tad West of there

I don't give my exact location publicly but that's within 8 miles of my address in a nearby town.

extremely white/ with a touch of Hispanic peeps, mainly PR"S , blacks are very uncommon around here

I'm not racist, it just is what it is

I've been the minority white guy in a majorly Mexican barrio before, that

I couldn't afford to return to, my old dump in Carlsbad, Ca is like a million dollars now

Prob why things are hard to get. A lot of places can still shop normal but when news spread “fear” people go nuts and run and buy out everything knowing the store is restocked and opened the next day and the next and the next
