It really does seem to be hit or miss. Nothing at Sam's the last few times I've been there and you can't order any from their website. Same thing at Costco. Nothing at Lake Deaton Publix either. The farther you get from the Villages, the better the supplies are.

We were in Colony Publix this afternoon late, after 3pm and they had Cottonelle 6 mega-roll pack in stock for $8.24. We bought the same thing a week ago at Colony Walmart for $6.48.

Don't need any but just curious. Stores in VA still empty.

Procter and Gamble is running Charmin manufacturing at full tilt while keeping employees safe.

According to Business Insider, P&G’s Pennsylvania plant “stretches about a mile, end to end.” (chuckle, chortle, snort) The article, from a few days ago, said that strict safety measures are in place and as of May 6, there have been no positive cases of Covid at the plant.

Side effect of so much attention to the empty shelves breeds the hoarders self questioning "....do I have enough..." even if the garage is full!!

OK, I admit. We are the Hoarders.

My wife went to Target on Monday and actually bought Charmin with 6 mega-rolls. We were thrilled.

We went back yesterday but there was nothing, and none at Publix on 466 or at Aldi's.

Today I went to the 466A Publix at 7:00 AM and they had Cottonelle with 6 megas, so I grabbed it.

Then I went across 466A to the Wal-Mart and they had lots of Charmin, so I bought two packs of Charmin with 12 mega-rolls each.

That should hold us for awhile, unless I have one of those fits we all dread.

One of the Instacart shoppers was at Sam's for me this week and texted to let me know that TP and paper towels were in stock if I needed any. I said thanks but I was good. He then followed up to let me know that Clorox wipes were also available, then same for eggs. Nice of him, but just what's on the list, thanks!

Here's my new hobby. I get a notice that the shopper has begun selecting items and I can see as each one is marked as picked. I follow the person mentally around the store ... beverages, bread, deli. What? You went all the way to the front of the store for shampoo, the all the way back for produce?

That's how little it takes to keep me entertained. Following the little car icon on the delivery map also whiles away a few minutes. Some of the icons include the driver's face. Whee!

just returned from BJ's in Clermont...again, they had plenty of TP, paper towels, Kleenex, napkins....

we go there because we've always liked the meats at BJ's...smaller portions that Costco

they are limiting you to one of each (checked at the checkout)

we didn't buy any TP, as we had enough on hand already
