Default Toilet paper?

Just wondering where is the paper?
Weeks ago the paper companies were working overtime, starting up old machines, etc. Everyone that bought thousands of rolls should not be in need. Where are the paper companies sending their products?
Just wondering!

maybe some hoarders felt left out in the first buying binge.

There was not a shortage.
Just too many inconsiderate binge buying hoarding, driven by self induced fear factor, stimulated by the media frenzy factor.

I got a large twelve roll pack @ Aldi's, Trailwinds Village last week.
They also had paper towels.

Just wondering!
Doubt if anyone on here knows where the companies are shipping product.
Maybe you could check a couple web sites and contact them directly.

Toilet paper is less of a problem. Both Walmart and Sam's have had inventory the last time I was there, also lots of Bounty paper towels and tissues. Only Clorox wipes still among the missing but we are making our own spray. Sam's did have their own brand of concentrate......would make almost 300 gal

Got Clorox wipes (they also had their own brand w/identical ingredients) Saturday at the Walmart in Leesburg on 441. They seem to have much more inventory than the one on 466 and also have much larger aisles so you're not running in to everyone. It's actually a mile closer for me than the 466 one (I am near Colony).
The guy filling the shelves said the best time to shop there for that kind of stuff is after 5PM which we have found to be correct. They fill in after 4PM he said. Check the Walmart app for that store as it has been pretty accurate recently. We also got a box of Costco brand disinfectant wipes with online ordering. They came in 3 days after ordering despite their website stating 15 business day delivery. They come and go from the site yso you have to keep checking.

True. Most production plants run 24/7 (prior to virus) and are fully automated, so catching up is taking time.

Have you tried washing it yourself so you can reuse?

Probably not going to be problem in near future, most won’t have money to buy it if people don’t get back to work.

It cleans better in the dishwasher.

Find your nearest Dollar General. They have most items you can't find elsewhere. Especially toilet paper.
