It’s like springtime all over again amid the spiking coronavirus pandemic as shoppers try to flush out large supplies of toilet paper, paper towels and disinfecting wipes, according to a report.
Several leading grocery chains are reimposing purchasing limits to prevent would-be hoarders from wiping them clean of the essentials, CNN reported.
At Kroger, customers can buy a maximum of two such items, according to a spokesperson who told the network that the limits, which began this week, apply in stores and online.
Meanwhile, Christopher Brand, a rep for the Northeast chain Giant, said the company was “seeing little evidence of stockpiling, and there is no need to create panic.”

"Nearly 60 percent of shoppers say they plan to stock up on the products again as winter approaches, according to a recent survey by market research firm Inmar Intelligence."
That was happening last week, the lack of items, that is. Not convinced it is WuFlu, more likely thinking of possible supply chain stoppage.
I made our normal bimonthly purchase of paper goods last week at whse store. Will take care of 2 of us for awhile.
The paper production has shifted from making useful household products to useless throwaway face diapers aka “masks”.
It’s been happening ever since this hysteria started March 14. Different items at different times, and the supply chain is broken. Including items corps have put on hold because they feel it’s more important to have better cleaning items, etc.
I said back then, this is a glimpse into socialism and communism.
And that was BEFORE the endless riots.
But the supply chain IS because of Kung Flu.
Items have stopped production because they’re not as “important” for safety as something else. Shipping companies as well as manufacture are curtailed because of this nonsense.
I have been buying these items for years and when they came available again, I started again. I do not have all I need but I have plenty.
Prepare for worse, folks.

NY post is a fear porn rag who turns out sensationalist emotionalist based driven headlines too keep the FUD stoked.
Costco closest to me was completely out of TP & PT last week.
We had no issues until last week since maybe July, but you are right, it is originally from WuFlu.
No worries, I just found a few thousand Biden ballots in the trunk of my car I can use to wipe my ass.
It this crap again
Well..there is a HUGE paper mill sitting Idle up at WIS Rapids that could be converted to making tissue paper. One in Duluth also.
That Wis Rapids mill shutdown has just about killed many of my friends logging businesses.
granted, no toilet paper is a mini crisis....
but we don't really need hand sanitizers...infact, there is some research that its actually harmful to our overall health to keep using them....
soap and water....
What we need is another World War. That’ll get the supply lines up and running in no time!
/SARCASM :)
We are now in the true lock down stage of the “soft” tyranny that will lead to the eventual death of America.
Everybody? JoMa says they have plenty. Grab your guns and lets go ‘shopping!’ ;)
ROFLMAO!
Thanks! I needed a laugh. :)
So does that mean Wisconsin ‘Chumps for Trump’ will be rioting now.
I love the cheeze.
Please let me know when the burning, looting and murders by Conservatives will begin.
I’ll bring plenty of gas.....
