Here's an option if you're worried about your TP stock. [link]

OK, so that's the first time I've ever been tempted by fancy toilet paper. I mean, I didn't, but the A-Z packs... come on! How cute?

So cute! But I'm actually tempted by the bamboo paper. Like, the price per roll is more than I would ever pay at a store, but sustainability plus a worthy charity! I might just cave and order some...it IS payday...

Last time I was in my local CVS has stacks and stacks of bamboo TP, but i just grabbed whatever Aldi had in 2 ply when I was there this week. Pre-COVID I would only buy 100% recycled content, which was not always in stock at my main grocery and never at Aldi.

I am almost done with task 1. ALMOST!

Task two is more tedious, but does not involve having answers for people's emails, so trade-off. Task 2 is also more important for reporting in the meeting tomorrow, so I WILL get it done.

We never got close to running out. I meant to get to Costco this month and didn't but will next month for tp and other things

Because of all my problems with UTIs I finally started using a portable bidet so it cuts down on tp.

Epic, if you do, please report back how you like it.

Way to go, msbelle. You got this.

Having a mini-anxiety attack. I really hope I am mis-understanding something. I seem to be hearing that some employee time to be reimbursed by Fed $$ and similar time NOT to be reimbursed have the same payroll entries and the only thing to point/look at to say "this much time/these employee hours should be reimbursed" is a spreadsheet I am keeping and a file of PDFs I've saved?!?!?!?!

Since I am not as obsessive as my father about TP, our stash has about 2 months' worth of TP (24 of those mega-rolls that are supposed to be equivalent to 4 rolls). (I work from home, so I'm keenly aware of just how long it takes to go through a roll of TP.)

Our TP stash is like an emergency fund -- it lives in the basement in case of emergency, but while there's still TP at the store, we leave the TP stash alone and just buy more when the stuff in the bathroom is about to run out.

Historians will be fascinated by this in the future.

After a decade of living in places where a regular TP supply was not assured, I set up a subscription via Amazon. It delivered more than we used, so we had a surplus. In February when the box arrived, my DH was like "I think we have enough...can you cancel this subscription?"

WELL WHO LOOKS LIKE THE GENIUS NOW?!?!?

Also events sort of cancelled it for me.

I'm choosing to believe that people are spreading out their STPR purchasing over more weeks, so we won't get as much system shock, and that the TP companies have shifted how much "home use" they produce vs. how much "industry use" and it will be better this time.

I agree, the supply chain issues mostly sorted themselves out by early summer so HOPEFULLY we'll see less hoarding in the months coming up.

I have noticed that canned tomatoes seem to be in short supply, at least in my local supermarkets. The shelves aren't bare but there are weird gaps - I sometimes can't find diced tomatoes at all.

I still can’t get my regular subscription of paper towels from amazon.

It just seems like all the supply chains are lumpy -- one week there was no KA AP flour, the next week, the end caps were full of it.
