A Foretelling?

I did order a case of Toilet Paper from our Office supplier. Didn't realize it was 96 rolls! I am covered for a little bit

Careful. You'll be branded a hoarder.

Yes, but by accident!

Yep, ditto on changing shopping strategies.
We have adopted “one out — two in” strategy on staples we use all the time : finish one box of Bosquick — buy two.
Over time, that will build up a nice stock of what you actually use, without changing your bills significantly.

That's been my strategy since early spring. My dry/canned goods larder is full, I have 2 fridge freezers, an upright freezer and my small camping freezer full. I froze things like whole loaves of bread, then vacuum sealed them. Bought two small whole turkeys back in Feb, going to take one out for next week and replace it with a "fresh" one. Spare propane, got a delivery of fuel oil back in March when prices were low, a case of Sterno, generators ready, extra gas, 2 tons of pellets....

I won't need paper towel or TP for a long long time.

Damn. I've turned into a prepper.

No, it sounds like you are practical. I'd rather have too much than not enough!

Dunkirk Harris Teeter had plenty of toilet paper when I went yesterday and it was the regular brands, not the foreign kind.

If interested, McKays in Charlotte Hall is well stocked on most everything, even paper products. I was there yesterday.

Did you see the amount of ketchup! I need to step up my game too

Mere fraction of what Kwillia has in ketchup stock.

Unless you have a big family most of that hoard will rot before being used IMO.

Our stock yesterday at the hardware store...

I vacuum seal everything. Extends the life enormously. And then rotate stock. Use the oldest item, replace it.

Ok, that was yesterday. How much left by end of day today?

 

[Dakota]

I rarely do the shopping, my husband does and he said the store was starting to look a little early covid this week as well.

We look upon that now as a pile of gold. Remember when we used to go thru that much on a single Halloween night?
