Not long back from the supermarket and every shelf is now fully stocked with a restriction of one per visit on only three items, TP, hand sanitiser and baby milk/powder.

cool

Those packages come with numbers of 8 or 10 rolls here, and usually last for months.

Really don't know what people are up to, but from nothing to eat, to dying from starvation, to turning to Zombies, their butts will be clean

I went to our local market yesterday, and they had some on the shelves. Not much, but I was able to buy two 12-packs of jumbo rolls, so I should be set for awhile.

Jim, I love your link. I've used some of those from time to time.

The pharmacy I go to doesn't have any TP on the shelves; however, it appears they have it stashed under the checkout counters and only sell it if a customer asks, so if you don't know they have it stashed, you won't know to ask; if you do ask, the limit is two packages of four rolls each, eight rolls total...

Well, if all else fails you can always depend on the tried and trusted no 15

That's the same way they use to sell pornography back in the 50's at least that's what my grandfather tells me
