***If this coronavirus outbreak is a test, any kind of a test on any level, we have all failed miserably.***
For those of us who lived back in the 1940s and 1950s we simply know how to substitute for items not on the shelves.
Went to Walmart last week and got 50 lb of dog food. At the checkout line I realized I was the only one without toilet paper in the cart. No problem.

You mean it doesn’t hurt when you use it? Are you Chuck Norris?
I stockpile toiletries, canned goods, etc. as hurricane supplies, living as I do here in sunny southwest Florida.
I never bought any of these things in a panic. I just took advantage of sales at Big Lots, etc., knowing that having a solid inventory of household essentials was just good planning.
Right now, I have so many canned goods that I’m actually trying to reduce my stocks by about half.
So far, the only concession I’ve made to the mass hysteria was to inventory my bathroom last week. I was happy to report that I have 33 double rolls of t-paper. So, I’m OK for the foreseeable future.
Since all of these things were for my personal use, I guess I can’t be accused of hoarding.
