As do I, and I encourage anyone who lived through the horrible TP shortages earlier this year to come to my house this weekend and haul away as many as you possibly can. Don't risk running out! The most choice leaves are under the shrubs and forsythia bushes, so be sure and rake those out and take them with you. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CMJeepster 2,777 Posted November 20, 2020 My wife went to the Costco here in Mercer County yesterday at 4pm. No T.P. or paper towels to be had. She re-stocked us on some non-critical items. Guess we're going down the shortage road again... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Glock guy 1,127 Posted November 21, 2020 My wife and I got to our local BJ's a little before 9:00 this morning to take advantage of the senior hours. As we were entering, I noticed that almost every person leaving had toilet paper in their cart. After about ten minutes, they opened the doors to the rest of the public, and immediately there was a mad dash to the TP section. Luckily, there was plenty there, so we grabbed some and some paper towels as well, but there definitely felt like that same sense of panic there that we experienced last spring, and I would bet that by the middle of the day all the paper goods were gone.

gleninjersey 2,139 Posted June 17, 2021 Time to restock the "pandemic pantry". Maybe a little re-branding. Call it the "inflation pantry". Start buying non-perishable food & products in bulk before prices rise even more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malsua 1,422 Posted October 20, 2021 Speaking of shortage, so I'm buying paint for our 2nd villa and they not only have very few cans of paint at Sherwin Williams, they have the NERVE to charge a 4% "Supply chain" fee. I've never been a fan of Sherwin Williams, it's just that all the approved colors are Sherwin Williams coded. Yes, I know homodepot can match it, but we just wanted to go grab the color and leave, not deal with some moron in the paint department out on work-release. I could understand the FEE if you actually had the store stocked up. Apparently, you let the stock go, didn't pay any extra to get more in, and just decided empty shelves was a good excuse to charge extra. At least the new windows are supposed to be in soon. We only ordered those at the end of April. The supply chain was better during WWII when they were running around collecting pots from housewives to melt down for scrap. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
