I went to the expensive grocery store. I had to keep working the entire time. When I went to my usual store after work, I’d have to wait in line to enter the store just to find out the horders bought everything again. The horders didn’t go to the expensive store, so I didn’t have to wait in line and most of the time I could find everything I needed.
I mock threatened my friends that if I couldn’t buy toilet paper when I needed it, I was going to come over to their house and scoot my ass across the rug like the dog does.
I had signed up for a tp delivery service the previous September, and got 48 rolls every eight weeks, which was the “light use estimate” for a single person household.
I don’t know what the rest of y’all are doing, but I had used six rolls when the second shipment came in November. I passed it around to all my friends and forgot to cancel it, so I received a third shipment January. Of 48 rolls.
I now had received 144 rolls of toilet paper in four months, and I use it at a rate of 3.5 rolls per month.
I set a phone reminder to cancel it, and donated 48 rolls to a shelter. Then, in march, when my cancellation alert came up, I realized another shipment might not be the worst thing.
Then in April I got a bidet. I did manage to cancel my subscription, and left rolls on all my neighbors front steps, and I still had enough to last until may of 2021, when I moved and donated the rest.
I’ve always gone to Costco and gotten the big packs of toilet paper, because it was easier. However I had just screwed up the shopping list and got the big pack two weekends in a row. So I was set, in my bunker, for the TP wars
Cleaner and sanitizer were another story. I bought late, at scalper prices because that was the only choice. And that was for mostly normal use
Thankfully we just happened to have just bought our regular six months worth of toilet paper package at Costco just before the great TP shortage of 2020. We use a bidet anyways, so TP goes a long way in our house.

I bought a house 6 months before lockdown.
I bought a super huge pack of charmin toilet paper at BJs. My ex bought a super huge pack of charmin toilet paper at BJs.
We had a laugh about all of our toilet paper.
As a joke I bought 2 more huge packs, because we had room and it was funny and had basically become an inside joke.
Then lockdown happened.
Toilet paper became a commodity.
I JUST (December 27th to be precise) ran out of the pre-covid toilet paper stocks we had.
That’s amazing!

My folks were freaking out about no sanitizer anywhere. I have OCD. I just calmly went to my room and brought out my massive 1 L jug of sanitizer
For once, that pain in the ass disorder came in handy

Ahhh so good to meet another pandemic poop baron
I thought this would be the story of how you made your first million as a pandemic toilet paper baron

That’s how I got turned on to expensive Alfredo sauce. It was the only thing left, and now I can’t go back.
Same with us for Rao’s marinara.
