Sams - TP and paper towels
 
Monday 11:10 a.m. they currently have plenty of both - limit one each

Chatbrat 03-23-2020 11:33 AM

Thats the key, one package of Sam's--wow if you can't believe 24-30 rolls of TP are enough, get a life--never paper towels @ Sam's to BIG--the Admiral would get on my case

EdFNJ 03-23-2020 11:37 AM

Thanks! We're down to our last 3 rolls. I'm sure by the time we get there they will be gone. :( Right now my wife is slicing up The Daily Sun into 4" strips. :D

Only 20 packages of paper towels left, which was what we needed. TP many people not happy.

EdFNJ 03-23-2020 01:01 PM

Just got back (1PM) and they refilled the paper towels but, as expected, no TP but I have my wife back slicing up The Villages Daily Sun so we can use it where The Daily Sun don't shine. :D

Is newspaper safe to flush down the toilet?

And to think my darling hubby got mad at me for saving all those plastic bags from the grocery store. LOL

Having been stationed overseas for years, you learn to make "do" (or Poo depending on the situation).

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON

I don’t have a solid answer for you. That said, if it was me - I wouldn’t.

About time stores put limits on items. Should of done that two months ago.

At least you’re putting it to good use:boom:

No. It clogs drains, and is sometimes hard to flush away if to much at a time is used, which can get messy!
Best composted, burnt or bagged in general waste?

The toilet paper shortage is so silly. Get a cheap bidet (got one in August for $36). Once you do, you'll wonder how we've collectively relied upon a paper product for "cleaning".

Go work in a garden or perhaps your car's engine and then just clean up with toilet paper. Works great, right?

:ohdear: And you know this how? Is it common to use this in the U.K.? :confused:

Gotta Ask
 
Have none of you grown up on a farm with the classic outhouse? Nothing on the farm went to waste including the news papers. Talk about being "pampered"!! Those really cold morning in the winter having to go outside to go to the bathroom? It is sad that a lot of you never had that wonderful experience. Be grateful for your life and be grateful that we have the current science to recognize the risk of the many exposures we run into. :ho:

Tell the Admiral the hurricane season is just around the corner.

Poor logic

The outhouse output never went into the municipal sewer system. If you insist on testing the sewer, please flush twice.

Also, consider purchasing a diaper pail and some inexpensive washcloths. Run them through your washing machine and reuse them.

In UK during WW2 and just after, we were lucky to get newspaper, let alone toilet paper.
Used it and blocked the khazi with it.
That is why I treat all this panic buying of it with a liittle sangfroid

This should be done for EVERYTHING. One does not need 18 packages of hot dogs.I saw that this week at Publix.

None left today.

I went today to Sams at 11:30 and there were people with TP in their carts. I asked and they said I had just missed it by about 15 minutes. So it's looks like about 11:00 or earlier is good for Sams. I also heard the Walmart in Leesburg has TP, and I just went on their website and it showed Charmin in stock. That's not that far, just off 441 about 3 miles south of 466A.
