I found toilet paper - finally!

[mvd]

Aldi had it and I got 2 packs. First time in a month I have seen any in my area in SE PA.

1. You must have had a hallucination!

Lol

Stared at the rolls for a minute.

3. I haven't shopped at Aldi's in 2 months.

imho: Stores are too small for adequate social distancing.

11. I followed the governor's guidance to cover my nose and mouth

Used a scarf. My glasses cover my eyes. Also glad I did it after the moron in the WH said he would not.

4. My DIL was able to get some at the commissary thank goodness.

A meme for the ages.

6. We stocked up early!

About a month ago, I had a bad feeling about the virus and we stockpiled our mountain house with food, dry and paper goods and extra fuel. I learned from my experiences with Hurricane Sandy that it pays to be prepared. When the run on the stores, especially toilet paper!- we were comfortably set.

In the past week or so, our local supermarket has been able to get their distribution routes stabilized and they have full shelves, the best butcher and produce manager and the dairy case is freshly full.

My dad worked in the paper industry and he told me that the problem was that there was plenty of toilet paper and paper towels but the distribution network wasn't prepared for the panic-buying the masses engaged in. Time will tell, I guess.

7. Walmarts here have it, but

after 12pm, it's mostly gone. Aldi's has it as well, but again early bird and all that.

There's a big P&G plant up in NE Pa that makes Charmin and other paper products, but who knew?

8. I scored the last pack on the shelf this morning.

Four to the pack of those bad boys. "Come to mama."

[mvd]

10. Good for you! I was happy the Aldi packs have 12 per pack

I won’t have to worry for a while.

[sarge43]

12. 12 pack?! Impressive. Who did you have to bribe or kill?

Remember the packs you needed a folk lift to get them home?

[mvd]

13. Guess I just got there at the right time

It was mid afternoon which makes it even harder. I bet they were all out by closing. Closing is at 7 PM now for Aldi.

15. Do You Have

a Wegmans? I’ve been having luck there with TP.

[mvd]

16. Yeah but I usually only get around in a short area

Used to go to Wegmans more when my dad was alive.
