There was plenty at Publix this morning but I stopped seeing it in shopping carts by around 11:30 (they opened at 8). Walmart has it most of the day. In fact most supermarkets have it available.

BJ's in Clermont had ample supplies of TP for sale (along with other paper good products)....as did a Publix in Clermont

If you travel a little distance beyond The Villages it seems like the stores have more of everything on the shelves

I am not one of the ones who hoarded paper products. But we will buy an extra package here and there to add to our hurricane preparedness kit.

Got some at WM Saturday morning they had quite a large selection. And even for their brand it’s pretty soft and strong I might add

Get in line at opening of one of the grocery stores early in the morning, get pushed and shoved and almost run over by a cart as everyone is racing to the paper product isle. If that does not work then your back yard garden hose makes a great bidet!

I was in Walmart the other day and no toilet paper! So I asked one of the people there and they said because things are "opening up" many people are available the virus will be back and are "stockpiling" again!

One people does not make it fact.


I was there this morning after "old people hour" and on my way to pick up some cow fluids......I looked and there was plenty of TP. I estimate the shelves were 1/3 full. Paper towels shelves were stocked at normal levels.

Part of the shortage is due to retail being the only distributor of paper products over the past 2-3 months. With most businesses being shut down, most of the paper usage is in homes, thus additional supply is needed. Same goes for other products like food items......restaurants closed, eating at home. The demand shift was not expected by suppliers and retailers. Then again, the addition of some people hoarding just addes to the shortages. Paper products in retail outlest are hit and miss, but are there, just not all the time.
