I just bought a crate of TP from whogivesacrap.com so they have it in stock.
The secret I’ve found is to put some Charmin on Subscribe and Save. Amazon seems to reserve inventory to fulfill those orders first.
My local Walmart has toilet paper. Charmin and one other brand I can’t remember. There wasn’t a lot of it, but a fair amount. But I’m set for another month, so I actually walked away from it. The store was fairly busy too, but nobody was in the TP aisle for the first time I can remember in a long time. That was Monday though. No idea if any of it’s still there.
It’s a good thing to have on subscribe and save anyway, especially if you live in a city without a car, given how bulky TP is. I get a huge shipment once every six months, so I’m sorted even in a very long lockdown.
On Tuesday, the entire paper isle was fully stocked at our local Kroger-owned supermarket. They even had pallets of TP and Bounty on display outside the isle.
I got four individually wrapped rolls of no-name TP yesterday. I’m guessing it’s industrial TP that the stores are sometimes getting now.
I am pretty sure you have a bidet.
How does this work?
I search for Charmin and don’t even get a result.
A few weeks ago at least I would get a entry that says not in stock.
I made a thing that seems relevant.
Went shopping for a few things today, and hamburger 88% is apparently $7.89 a pound now.

Ended up buying 20 pounds of chicken breasts for the freezer , at $1.99 a pound.
Apparently we have plenty of chicken on the market.

I’m feeling better and better about my ButcherBox subscription. I’m getting a ton of meat today.
I finally got through the waitlist on that butcherbox thing, then I did the math-- it came out to $175 for like 6 pounds of steak. I guess I’d get more meat if I went with hamburger or chicken, but overall it seems to be an extremely poor value at $25/pound, particularly when they don’t tell you the quality of the meat.
I would expect to get prime or even dry-aged for $29/pound buying in bulk, but they don’t even say how it’s graded so it could be choice or even select. All they say is it’s raised and finished on grass.
I can get USDA choice wet-aged grass-fed “step 4” pasture-raised organic ribeyes from Whole Foods for $23/pound delivered, and I don’t have to buy 12 of them at a time. And I don’t, because grass-finished beef tastes like shit.
Whole Foods’ normal choice wet-aged grain-finished ribeyes cost $15/pound and taste much better. And again, I don’t have to buy 6 pounds.
One of the stories an old timer told me when he was a kid in the Great Depression was a “giant of a man” drove to his family’s farm and killed half his goats by hitting them in the head with a big hammer. I’m still not sure about what was going on there, but it was probably something about not being able to get them to market or that the market was no longer there; but he insisted it was some policy of “the government”. Though i’ve been unable to find documentary evidence of such a policy. I’m sure it did happen, but why and how i’m still not sure.

Yeah holy shit Butcher box is pricy.
Their boxes are 130$
For 8-11 lbs of meat.
That is over 14$ a lb. In a box with 2 lbs ground beef (7$ a lb typically for high end stuff)
You get 2 strip steaks in that worth the $ per lb.
Convenient I guess.
Our local farmers market has good quality stuff for way cheaper, and they are doing curbside pickup.
grass-finished beef tastes like shit.
Yes!!!
You can do a custom box which is what I looked at, so you aren’t stuck with crap meat you don’t want like tenderloin. Anyway, it all seems like a really poor value. And it isn’t even convenient, because you have to accept that much meat in each shipment, when I can get that whole foods steak delivered between 6 and 8PM today with a $0 delivery fee.

When I signed up this wasn’t the case, but depending on how this meat shortage progresses maybe I’ll just cancel and start getting it from Whole Foods.
