Preppers were right! No toilet paper in the stores due to Coronavirus scare.

Our local Wal-Mart is out of TP, a few other stores in town have some though. We were almost out so I stopped at the Dollar General here to pick up some TP and I kid you not I saw several peeps with shopping carts FILLED with TP, Paper towels, and disinfectant wipes, etc. You would think we're in some sort of apocalypse

It's called a pandemic....

In my area we are running out of tp and hand sanitizer in all the stores, its crazy!

I am usually stocked UP on Spic & Span antibacterial spray cleaner $ 1.00 for 22 oz. at of course Dollar Tree. I always have it around because it's also a great bug/spider and even wasp killer. Never realized till lately that it says "kills bacteria & viruses." I buy the green stuff. Once got purple Spic & Span, and the fragrance was off putting. Ugh.

Since I'm an ice cream addict (check my avatar). I stocked up on ice cream brands I DON'T LIKE, this way it will last much longer.

I do have a decent stock of TP (always do) but if I run out have quite a few boxes of Kleenex, etc. which will do if necessary. I have frequent sinus episodes - so there's that.

That brings up the question, what is a decent stock of TP? I think that maybe your gender determines that answer. When Dear Wife showed me that we "only" had another 24 rolls of TP in the closet, I'm thinking I would be fine until sometime next year. Evidently, I am wrong and it's time to panic. OK, buying TP is her thing and I have no clue on how much she uses. I suggested she only use the TP for actually wiping the bottom. She was ready to throw me out of the house...

Just goes to show that you can be married for 30+ years and still be clueless. I think we will be stocking more TP in the future once the stores are refilled.

I'm in pa and I only noticed hand sanitizer out if stock but what I don't understand is I heard overuse if hand sanitizer can kill the good bacteria off your hands a few years ago I saw on the news kids were getting sick from constantly using hand sanitizer

My husband just ran to the store and Walmart does not have any toilet paper. They were also out of SPAM, tuna, and many canned goods ugh. The shortage is here =0

I don't get it either. It is now on kids back to school shopping lists here even for preschool level. I heard of kids eating it because they stick their hands in their mouth. It also makes my hands burn, too. I am sensitive to the alcohols. Microparticle colloidal silver is my go to.

It’s been insane over here, my Dad overheard at Costco an employee talking saying that they’d gotten a load of bottled water and by 3pm it was completely gone. He can’t find paper towels anywhere, so we haven’t been using them at all. He bought a ton of toilet paper, bread, and other frozen foods. I’ve had a strange obsession with Cheerios lately and he had bought another box, but last night I noticed it was hidden... no doubt from me! my mom has been sick lately and can only eat a few foods without pain (she is getting better) so my dad has been really stressed trying to stock up on those things.

That's odd. I can't get enough Honey Nut Cheerios lately. I won't even admit how fast I go through a box but I have Cheerios for snacks and meals, every single day. After reading your post, I immediately thought, "hmmm... Are they putting something addictive in the Cheerios?". Of course that's completely silly. I know they are just so delicious. It's almost 2am here so my brain has given up for now, until at least 5am tomorrow

ha my husband uses TP at least 4 times my use. I agree it's gender related.
