When you do your supermarket run use their bathroom and steal a roll.
Yeah, most bakery products should work.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying you need 7 rolls or TP per week? I use one roll every 2-4 weeks. Who TF uses a roll of TP every day or two?
I figure TP will be available by the time I use up my 300 rolls (equivalent). I'm the only one using it. But I hope others enjoy their diapers, I'm not planning on it.
We've seen any number of news stories on stocking up on toilet paper which means it's time for a poll. How many rolls of TP do you have on hand?
My wife "the household buyer" has not bought any since the Covid-19 scare.
However, whenever she sees a deal on toilet paper, paper towel or tissue paper, she buys it. That would normally be two for one with a good coupon.
I took some pictures a week ago, but only in one room, I just checked two closets and found 231 rolls of TP, 96 rolls of paper towel and 24 boxes of tissue paper.
Here's are the pictures I took a week ago, they do not include what I listed above. Note, she does send some home with the kids every time they visit.
Sometimes, I think she overstocks !
Getting closer to qualifying for the Hoarders TV show.
One tidbit, her dad (a fisherman) built a boat, put the motor in and never made a test run, the first run was the escape, ( the commies are always watching) when they arrived at the island, the immigrants that had already arrived, run out into the water and started knocking holes in the boat, Why, because the Malaysian navy would tow any seaworthy boat back out to sea, to go elsewhere.
The poll should have been titled "Are you part of the problem?" Yes is if you purchased more than 1 months worth of TP you became "part of the problem".
Last I checked neither coronavirus nor an associated financial crises causes an increase in TP usage.So it is unreasonable to buy a supply of toilet paper nearly a month ago while there was zero panic and the shelves were full?
Guess we should not have sold any stocks either.

Last I checked the factories making TP are domestic and still are running.
So the only reason stores ran out is because of excessive panic buying by people.
So yes, the people hoarding TP ARE part of the problem.
And people selling stocks are part of the financial problem, which can cause far more shortages and business disruptions than someone buying TP
I used to sell technology to the pulp and paper industry. A chemical pulping facility typically has very few people per square mile, so they may be able to be "socially distanced" without changing anything. A tissue mill has a bit higher person density, but the machines are "huge!", and it only takes a few people to run it.Last I checked the factories making TP are domestic and still are running.
Surest sign someone is losing a debate is when they change the subject.
