Toilet paper reappeared in Santa Fe weeks ago.

At first in extremely limited amounts, and now in very reasonable amounts.

I admit that I don't get out much and tend to shop in the evenings.

The other day, I was in the store and a stocker placed a single box on the floor in the toilet paper aisle. It was empty in 5 minutes. It probably had 12 sets.

I hear that Aldi's has some. And apparently all stores have it when they open. I'm just not that good at getting to the store y 7am.

The early bird gets the toilet paper...

desk and limits customers to one package (of about 8 or 12 rolls) each. So they have had TP in stock each time I have been in, over the past few weeks.

'Kleenex' is the back-up, of course!

Friend brought 2 rolls over Thursday; I'll check my grocery tomorrow.

Check their website. Put in your zip and it will show what is available for delivery. Sometimes it is even free delivery.

I was able to find TP there early on and got free delivery. Maybe they have some available. Not sure.

14. I pulled an old, threadbare sheet out of my ragbag

And cut it into big squares for hankies. I hemmed them with the sewing machine so the edges wouldn't unravel. Now I have a couple of dozen new hankies from the well worn cotton sheet fabric that is very soft on tender skin.

Took less than an hour (with two cats helping) and I don't need to buy anymore tissues.

Walmart has them and they have next day delivery, Sam's club has then and they can be shipped . Most seem to have a glut of the cube box's.
