Aldi had it and I got 2 packs. First time in a month I have seen any in my area in SE PA.

(22,056 posts)About a month ago, I had a bad feeling about the virus and we stockpiled our mountain house with food, dry and paper goods and extra fuel. I learned from my experiences with Hurricane Sandy that it pays to be prepared. When the run on the stores, especially toilet paper!- we were comfortably set.
In the past week or so, our local supermarket has been able to get their distribution routes stabilized and they have full shelves, the best butcher and produce manager and the dairy case is freshly full.
My dad worked in the paper industry and he told me that the problem was that there was plenty of toilet paper and paper towels but the distribution network wasn't prepared for the panic-buying the masses engaged in. Time will tell, I guess.

There's a big P&G plant up in NE Pa that makes Charmin and other paper products, but who knew?
