I've posted this:<br /><br />Redemption for TP hoarders.<br />If you are one of the panic buyers who is now sitting on dozens of large packs of TP please know you're gonna' get nothing but hate if you try to profiteer from this massive inconvenience. Is a few extra bucks worth the condemnation of everyone around you?<br />Here's what you can do. Go to the parking lot of the nearest school, and sell your stash at 50% of what you paid for it. Better yet give it away to those who can't easily get out and stand in line for three hours before sunrise. You have a car. Offer to deliver.<br /><br />JWMJWMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564732483476859555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-39398440917714316622020-03-24T00:06:12.188-05:002020-03-24T00:06:12.188-05:00In normal times, when the stock of TP gets to a 1 ...In normal times, when the stock of TP gets to a 1 month level, I look for sales. Then buy two 12 packs of Scott 1000 sheet rolls. We live in earthquake country. When the Calaveras fault knocks down every overpass on 680 and 101 around San Jose, getting supplies will be challenging for a while. <br />It is almost impossible to have too much of some supplies. TP is one. It is a sign of civilization. The other for me is Kleenex. With allergies, it is an essential. So I am glad vultures have focused on TP, not Kleenex.<br /><br />A couple goes through about 200 rolls of TP in a year. So 2,000 rolls would only be a 10 year supply. It would be used. Even if you died, someone would find it useful. So this "panic" buying may just be people realizing how much they took TP for granted.

One thing I did stock up on are my supplements and other compounds. I continue to buy this stuff on a regular basis. I think the panic buying is silly.kurt9https://www.blogger.com/profile/02101147267959016924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-67791716109875196862020-03-23T21:31:53.480-05:002020-03-23T21:31:53.480-05:00Costco has announced that it won’t accept returns ...Costco has announced that it won’t accept returns on TP, hand sanitizer or other “panic” products.
