Thankfully starting to recover here. Can actually find paper towels now and can take home a couple different kinds of meat.

Govdeals always has more listings than Public Surplus so no surprise there.



Have not seen any new listings anywhere in the last week or so.

Made a couple of trips looking for TP and found none. I asked a friend, who was there this morning, if they had any on the shelf. She told me "No, they have it hidden behind the counter and you have to ask for it. Limited to one 4-pack per day @ $5 each.

I think that I will install a bidet.......

I just went to Costco and they pretty much had every aisle endcapped with the 30 roll packs of toilet paper. No hand sanitizer or bleach wipes though.

Went to pick up groceries I'd ordered online yesterday. I didn't order TP since I stocked up back at the beginning of March, but there were 4 rolls in the bag when I got home, which clued me in that it was the wrong order. Poor woman had written "please, any toilet paper at all, I'm totally out". I drove it to her house and dropped it off then went back for my order. It occurred to me I could have given her a few extra rolls, but I guess I'm only a good person with a bit of a delay.

My mother has gone from "why are you buying so much toilet paper?" to "why didn't you buy more toilet paper when you had the chance?"
