So how is everyone fixed for TP? I wish I could find some, starting to get a little anxious! Did you stockpile anything good ? I went for the Milano double stuffed dark chocolate cookies...I'll have to sneak out later and get a few more *chortle*

There's no toilet paper here still. Wegmans, Harris Teeter, Food Lion, CVS/Walgreens, Dollar Stores, Walmart, Big Lots, Staples, all are out. Those grocery stores are also out of meat, rice, bread and milk every time we go. Getting annoying.

All sorted here in Hungary but in the UK, where people have been unable to buy it due to morons stripping shelves bare & loading up vans full of the stuff, they have been improvising with wet wipes, kitchen roll & even newspaper. As a result, it is causing sewer blockages. But there could be a silver lining now as hotels & businesses are forced to close, there should be a glut of the stuff on the market. If you're having problems finding any, get a hold of the wholesale companies. They'll be happy to sell it to you.

We do a lot of Costco shopping so we had a bunch of that and other staples before all of this started. We'll be fine for a long while yet. My local store seems to be slowing down a little bit with the panic buying, I was able to get bread and milk and a few other things today. There was no line to get in and only a short line to get out, but I think the bulk stores are still a little crazy. People have been surprisingly nice, too.

📚 Dianne 📚 , if you run out of toilet paper, just buy a pack of gum or something at CVS.

Shelves are empty in all the major stores in my part of the UK. I was looking forward to a spaghetti bolognese for dinner tonight, but couldn’t get any spaghetti anywhere. I noticed that they’d left the pasta sauce alone, though.

We don't stockpile and a lot of the supermarkets are clamping down on it, and a lot are opening there stores first thing for two hours only for OAP's like me a Liz then after that normal shoppers.

I haven't seen any for a week or so. We have some, but a family of five can go through it fast. We have some, but hopefully we can get more when needed.

There is no toilet paper in my neck of the woods either. I tried to order some online and came up empty there too. Having to use Kleenex now for toilet paper, so I guess I can expect sewage problems to make an appearance before too long.

I have some toilet paper, but it won’t last ages. We got cheap stuff from the local shop and each roll is like 50% air so they don’t last long. No guests for a while though so at least we aren’t sharing!
I intend to take advantage of the reserved hour for the elderly, vulnerable and NHS staff one morning next week. We have plenty of basic cupboard stuff in, but could just do with a few extras. A pack of toilet roll, some fresh fruit and veg etc. I fall into the NHS staff category, and it’s great to know that shops are thinking about how it can be difficult for us to pop in around shifts before the shelves empty.

Jim has a contact at the local Rite Aid who calls him when they get in a shipment, so we are fine with our levels. The stories of the elderly crying in the aisles because they can't even buy one roll just guts me.

A few weeks ago I bought 2- 4 weeks worth of non-perishable groceries and essentials, including TP. That's the emergency supply, so to speak.
I've got enough margin so that it doesn't matter if my main grocery store is out. I'll find it somewhere and grab a 8 or 12 pack of rolls and leave the rest for others, you know, like a decent human should.
Regarding my main grocery store- it's managed by an old friend from school. He posted they were getting a shipment Friday. I went in at 9 a.m. yesterday and it was all gone. ALL of it. That's after they're already limiting purchases. What are these people even doing?
Found some more at Walgreens today. No big deal. Just can't wait until you're down to your last roll. :-p
