Toilet paper

[drssg]

Scored 10 rolls of "rolled gold" today. I won't say where, but suffice to say it was not the Toilet paper isle of Wal-Mart. That is a canyon you could drive a semi into. That should take me out another 3 weeks or so and with what we have left of the original 30 we had when this all started, we should be good for a while. I will say this, the place it was, there was plenty of it, but people don't think to look there. A buddy of mine said to me "hey dummy _____________________ no one looks there!" And he was right as rain.

I don't even need to buy TP, but that post makes me curious. What is the super secret place that you can't mention, where nobody thinks to look for TP, but they have it? Hmmmm.

Anyone that really needs TP and wants to PM me, I will be happy to say where... But no sense causing a run on it.

I was a little shocked at how much they had.

Interesting that you think that many people are going to read your post.

Are you talking about Home Depot or Academy Sports and Outdoors?

I find it interesting that the entire Walmart isle for toilet paper is entirely bare. 50 to 60 foot long BOTH sides and multiple shelves. You can do the math on the cubic footage, but It would take a heck of a truckload of TP to fill up that cavern. How does that happen? Why does that happen? Why in heck can't they fill that cavern up? It has been this way for a while now. If someone "needs" some TP and wants to PM me, I will tell them where I found some. In fact a fair amount of it just laying there ready to be bought. I was astounded.

My thinking is that "idiots" that are "hoarding" TP bought the regular supply of it. And "idiots" could "wipe" this out too. pun intended. But if someone needs a few rolls to get them thru, and not have to use other means, I would be happy to tell them where to get it. Is this stupid?

Now I know, BL! My brother went there said the same thing.

Are they limiting? Then you don't have to worry about hoarders.

While sitting in the bathroom....

The dollar stores around here seem to have a regular supply of TP.

But it's those little 4 packs of little rolls. But heck, it's a buck!

I am off to the dollar store first thing in the morning! Dollar Tree out here.

Alright fine... here it is... IT IS IN WALMART. Only don't look in the TP aisle. Look over in the RV/camping aisle. Probably 100 rolls or more there today. Not a single roll in the TP aisle.

My fiancé needed an excuse to go out. We had a picnic...safe spot, but she brought a shopping list. Nothing we really needed but we drove to the new Dollar store. We were the only people in it. Got everything on her list. Out of curiosity went down the TP aisle. Quite a few rolls. One 12 pack of the good stuff left so grabbed it.

We disinfected everything when we got home...that was a PITA. Hopefully that reduces her “need” to find an excuse to shop.

On what we bring home from the store if it is not produce or meat, it stays in the car for at least 2 days. Produce goes in the garage fridge and meat goes in the garage freezer. After all done the nitrile gloves come off into the garbage and the vehicle does not get driven again for as long as possible. Rotating vehicles that are driven. Taking this seriously.

Couldn't you have just PM'd your buddies here instead of alerting the masses? :laughing:

Cat is out of bag now... wife did also find TP at the dollar store not knowing when we would hit the big one at Costco!

That RV TP is flimsy stuff. Made to disintegrate in the black water tank.

That's the 'type' of store where I found a HUGE pallet-load offering of quality, name-brand, TP. 36 roll pack, one per customer.

In my case it was a shop called "Shiploads", others could be "Chickenfeed" or "The Reject Shop"... here in Aus, of course, but you get the idea.

I used the "seniors hours" at Walmart and Costco.

Costco I must say has it down to a military-style operation. You line up outside ( YOU MUST HAVE A CART BECAUSE THEY SAY IT GIVES THE SAFE DISTANCE ). When the doors open for the seniors you march single file into the store stay in the designated lane down the middle of the store (YOU WILL NOT GO LEFT OR RIGHT THEY WILL SCREAM AT YOU).
Continue on a single file line and march down then the line veers left to a pallet of toilet paper with a worker dropping ONLY ONE pack of TP in your cart. As you move on a worker drop-in paper towels if you want. As you stay in your line then you get Clorox wipes if you want placed in by a worker.

At this point, you're free to roam the store for whatever you wish and they were fully stocked as normal. I picked up some OJ, butter, ribs, canned items, 25lbs of sugar, rice, dried beans.

At the register, they have marking on the floor to keep you separated from the others in the line. You do not unload your goods a worker does that for you. You do not approach the conveyor belt until you are instructed to. It was weirdly quiet no one talking not even the cashier. "let me see your card" and "here is your receipt" were the only words uttered.

It was pretty painless and I was in and out in 20 minutes.

The Walmart operation was doors open go wherever you want although the entire line made a direct route straight to the toilet paper then everyone dispersed to shop for other things. Again I was in and out within 20 minutes.

Those are the tiny travel packs with tiny rolls right?

Lower standards. Lol.
