It will spread to many other items most likely. Coffee, sugar, flour batteries the list could go on and on. There might be enough for everyone if bought on a normal scale but people are creating their own fears by over buying all at once. As long as coffee don't take a hit I'm good. Mesquite beans just don't roast up the same.

I don't get it. Out of everything people can buy it's toilet paper. I can crap outside and use the water hose to spray off if things get that bad. If I can't shoot something with it, stab something with it or eat it during the apocalypse.....I don't want it.
During Covid I went to the store and I was the only person in line without toilet paper stacked in my shopping cart. The cashier said "You're not buying toilet paper?" I said "Nope." He said "Why not?" I said "Because that's frickin stupid." Except I didn't say frickin. Everyone just kinda looked around at each other. Hopefully realizing how dumb they looked. What the hell you gonna do with 200 rolls of toilet paper. People don't take a dump that often. At least I would hope not. If you have IBS I get it, I guess. But the majority of people do not. I keep napkins from every fast food restaurant I go to. If you're that worried about it, don't throw them away. You can wipe with those too. I've seen me do it hundreds of times. They're not just made for wiping your mouth clean. They're duel purpose believe it or not.Last edited by okrattler; 10-03-2024, 05:29 PM.

So I ordered from Amazon during covid. I had a case of paper towels and a case of toilet paper delivered every four weeks.
So with the Amazon monthly delivery and not even worrying about it, we built up quite an inventory. I finally wanted to cancel it but she said…. NO!!! Eventually I convinced her that a couple of year’s worth of paper products was enough.
We canceled our monthly tp and paper towels subscription for probably close to a year. A few months ago we went back to ordering paper towels (no tp yet) and get one 16 jumbo roll case once a month. That comes out to about a roll every two days which is about right.
So what was this soliloquy all about?
This is the leftovers after covid AFTER we quit getting monthly shipments almost a year ago.
The last thing you need is more! In fact, you should start selling. Mark it up a little and turn into a temporary profit center. Then you’ll have an ROI that anybody would be proud of.
