I haven’t bought a paper product since this whole thing started, am good for probably at least 2 months. Haven’t rushed to the gun store for guns or ammo, either. Bought some food, already had a lot in the pantry.
I’m far from being a prepper but just the way I buy stuff had me prepared. I never buy just 1 of anything. If canned veggies are on sale I’ll buy a whole flat. I make a tp and paper towel run every once in awhile and stack them in the garage simply because I don’t like to think about it. I’ll buy 15-20 of the 12 double roll packs of tp all at once. Hubby is a huge meat eater so the freezer is always stacked with meat. Because of the way I shop we were waaaaay more prepared than most. I have to host bunco next week at my house and joked with the girls that I was giving tp out as the gifts. lol
I’ve gone to the store for fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and fish, accessing the risks from the beginning. This weekend marks the first that I will not, but I will still get fresh food. Toilet paper? Sheryl Crow taught me about that one - Not. I’m wasn’t going into the TP aisle at the store for fear I would have to use my weapon when they brought out palates of TP to the aisle. (Hyperbole, folks) Ammo, check. I reload. Prepper craft, check. I have plenty. It makes plenty of sense to prep, very little to hoard.
Guy just threw out the "fact" that "the average" American uses a roll of toilet paper a day (two people/two rolls, etc.) and most people don't have a sufficient supply on hand.
That average seems a little high to me.
Same here. There's a rush on ammo orders from the unprepared, so prices are currently way up, and a lot of stuff is out of stock.
