I saw spray chlorax today at the local grocery store...what was difficult to find was orange sherbet for Easter...took me 3 stops to finally find a store with one carton left.

I’ve managed to find toilet paper at Costco without a problem. It helps a lot that they now limit to one per membership.

The rolls aren't as heavy as they look. All you need is the proper attachment for your leaf blower.

Toilet paper has not been a problem. However, getting Lysol products still is next to impossible.

Read somewhere, can’t remember where, Lysol should be easily available by June. I haven’t found any Lysol either. Only industrial disinfectant wipes that I have to put gloves on to use or my hands burn. Just in another thread I asked is there a reason why soap and water can’t be used as it is good on your hands? Putting it in a spray bottle and then wiping with clean water?

If you haven't found TP by now, you aren't trying hard enough.
What does that mean? How many stores should a person go to? The shelves are empty still in most places. I have enough TP at home, but I don't order online for everyday needs. I support my local businesses. Twice one family-owned grocery here has had TP, but not the chains.

The TP shelves were empty at Kroger yesterday

Where are you finding it online?

For the past 2 days, one of the costco brands has shown as available on their website, but when I put it in my cart, it says it can't be delivered to my zip code. I'm taking it as a sign that I'm getting closer to success. I don't go to the store often, but there hasn't been any at the stores around here. My husband checks more than I do. Still can't get any from any other online retailer, but if other parts of the country are getting some, it will probably get here eventually.

Right, I'm getting the same thing. I actually had the giant Marathon commercial rolls in my cart, quickly checked out, and then had my order canceled.

I have an order in with them for Scott toilet paper, and it hasn't gotten canceled yet, but I'm not convinced it will ever get delivered.

It means try harder. You don't have to go to multiple stores. I got a case from WalMart. WalMart is a local company.

We ordered TP monthly via subscribe and save with Amazon. Our TP order for this week was postponed because out of stock. This was ordered more than a month ago.

Worst case our local brew pub sells beer and TP curbside same day. Gotta shop local...:cool:

My local grocery had a very small amount in stock with a one-per-cutomer limit. I shop on Tuesday mornings, which is a pretty slow time. One of our local hotels/banquet halls is selling TP by the roll as part of their curbside grocery pickup service. They are selling their pantry staples, so it's also a good way to pick up yeast, flour, etc. The revenue from this is to help pay their hourly employees, so it is also supporting local service staff.

Last week I discovered where my Walmart had it hidden, empty shelves and no signs saying anything... but saw at a back service counter by the restrooms people going up and getting 1 package each tp. I asked and employee said they'd been doing that for a week or two.

A Tampa hospital employee told me today that they were letting employee's buy TP from the hospital's warehouse at cost.

Try Target. I ordered 2 large containers of Cascade Platinum online on Target website when Costco online has been showing out of stock.

Our Target has neither dishwasher pods nor paper towels available online. I wanted a microwave plate cover so was on BedBathBeyond website and they don't have bleach or pods right now. Will continue to watch for cleaning stuff locally, as well as check grocery stores for microwave splatter guards before paying to have one shipped.

When I looked awhile ago I found it on Amazon. I didn't need any, but was curious if it was available. My dd's co-worker said she's been able to find it online but the prices are very inflated.

As I've posted upthread, at Costco try ordering as a business instead of as an individual.

I do have a business membership. When I'm logged in, does it know that I have a business? How would I order as a business?

Same. When people first started stockpiling, I wasn't worried at all because we get ours subscribe and save for both home and business. Been doing that for years. Amazon ended up cancelling our order because they couldn't find any.

All these suggestions about where to look - it still depends on your region. I've attempted to purchase from every online retailer. I had about a 10 day period where I spent an hour each day looking. It's not available here. Even if it shows up online, it will say that they can't deliver to this zip code. Or, at the very end when it's time to pay, it says, sorry, not available.

That's it. It's extremely regional. Plus availability changes hour by hour. My son-in-law went to the grocery store last week--a grocery that's part of a small chain in our area. No toilet paper. Not even an hour later, someone on one of my Facebook groups posted a picture of a pallet of off-brand toilet paper at that exact same store, already half gone. It hadn't been there when my son-in-law was there; they must have brought it out right after he left, and it was probably completely sold out within 45 minutes.

i just found Bounty Paper towels at our local Home Depot. Yay! Toilet paper is still scarce around here, but i did manage to finds some online at Amazon, and that supposed to be delivered later this week. The online availability seems to come and go just like the in store inventory.

I live in the Sarasota area. The stores where I shop are fully stocked with TP and paper towels--All brands. No hand sanitizer or clorox wipes to be found anywhere. The latest shortage I've found is butter!!!
