(22,047 posts)My dad worked in the paper industry. His associate and I became friends 20 years ago and he told me that there's plenty of toilet paper in the U.S. The panic buying was simply silly. The distributors will get the paper products to the stores and we'll all be able to wipe our whatevers.
The bigger problems are coming...

(38,187 posts)I can't buy it online like at the usual spots like I usually do. I decided to check Ebay and people are selling single sheets of toilet paper for $0.99 plus $9.99 to much higher for shipping. The other day, people were auctioning single rolls of paper for way high prices. I decided I will order a bidet if my local store or my usual online spots don't get it in when I need it. One person had written the date on a single piece of TP and was selling that for outrageous prices.

My husband gets an earful at his store about it, multiple times an hour, every fricking day.
