She put up a photo of her "loot" on a fb post. Many rolls of TP plus a couple of bottles of wine.

Had no business having a birthday party IMO. In the Bay area of California.

warehouse space in the pipeline that needs to be filled. About the time they catch up, quite a few people will need more. Maybe after this they keep one of the Kirkland 30 packs in reserve and buy as they use. That wouldn't be bad idea.

I did jobs in many paper mills in many states and a few in Canada. I don't recall a factory outlet store in any of them, LOL. They should give you locals first call and a darn good discount! However, most of the mills I recall didn't produce finished goods. They put paper on enormous rolls and shipped it to finishing companies. I enjoyed seeing the end-to-end processes.

One of the joys of visiting mills in Wisconsin was the little cheese factory outlet stores common in almost every town. I returned home many times with suitcases stuffed with the good stuff if I could afford it.

You're right, it's not a bad idea to keep a few important non-perishable items stashed away for emergencies and I've failed to think that through as I should.

Perhaps this presages widespread availability of this important commodity in the near future.

Nobody is using it. But I found some at the store, so I have t had to resort to burglary just yet.
