Are you finding Toilet Paper now available?

[JanT]

I haven't been successful in getting TP from Costco delivered either. We're about 20 minutes from our nearest store so maybe that's why. I did get vitamins delivered though, so, it's must just be the TP. However, I was successful in getting some shipped from Samsclub.com.

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.

I'm stealing that! My Florida friends will get a good laugh out of it!

My name is "VacationForever" and I am a hoarder. Just kidding! I just keep noticing that you call yourself that and it's funny to me. You're really probably not but you just want to be prepared. I get it because I have more toilet paper now than we normally keep at home. Not a hoarding amount but just a bit more than we normally keep on hand. I would absolutely share with neighbors or friends if they couldn't find any. I'm keeping a bit more in the house simply because if things really go to heck I don't want to have to be battling people in the stores.

Maybe I bought the last bag. Including this order, I now have 4 unopened bags of paper towel. <I am a hoarder.>

Hubby went to Costco 4 days ago...early Senior hour. There was a line outside but distanced and they only let 50 people in at a time. None of the store was unavailable and he said everyone kept their distance inside too. He brought home 2 packages each of Charmin toilet paper and Bounty Paper Towels. And too much for our freezer! I already had an order in for Harris Teeter to pick up curbside, not knowing he would go to Costco (running out of wine.) Harris Teeter only had a spot 9 days out. I wasn't worried because I was only getting about 50% of order but they too filled much of my order. We are stuffed and can barely open and close the freezer. Our's is narrow SubZero with a small bottom pullout freezer. Not a bad place to be in however.

My order with Butcherbox is coming this week and my husband asked me how many lbs did I order. I started adding the weight of each item and I told him 55 lbs. Gulp. He said as long as you can squeeze them into the freezer... We have a French door refrigerator and the freezer is pretty full already. I told him when there's a will there's a way. We shall see... If not, some of the meat will go to our neighbors.

I had to divide some of the big Costco meat packages for the our neighbor. Just not enough room. He was thrilled as he's in his 80's and terrified to go out. I've been delivering some cooked meals to his doorstep too. Have a whole chicken in the pressure cooker now for Chicken 'n Dumplings. He'll get some of that too.

www.Shipt.com delivers from a variety of stores in each zip code, each zip code being unique.
Many include the better grocery stores & more---Costco, Publix, Harris Teeter, Kroger, Target, CVS, Walmart, etc.

Go to the website and enter your zip code to see which stores are available for you, for free. I have friends who are using it and love it.
To get the service, I think it's $14 per month, but you probably won't continue it but another month or two, whatever.
Imho, it's FAR SAFER than going out into stores. We are content to use Publix's delivery service, so we are not currently using Shipt.
Good luck everybody, be safe, and FOLLOW the recommendations including staying at home.

First time out today since last Tuesday. Last week we did Smart & Final, today we went to Von's. Couldn't take our own bags in, the interior aisles (not the aisles along the outer edges of the store) were one way, which I didn't see until the line monitor pointed out I was about to go the wrong way (there were several people going the wrong way but I didn't point that out to them). And the line monitor was telling people which of the mostly empty registers to go to. Lots of hams and other meat. Found dishwasher pods, but they were down to a few bags. No paper towels or Kleenex. No cake mixes, but I found the Orville Redenbacher butter flavor oil for my pending wine cake, and I often have to go to multiple stores to find that. Found a tub of salt. We used our Monopoly token for a free loaf of French bread -- that will be good with the pepper pot soup I'm making tonight. Still empty shelves where rice should be, but we now have plenty so no longer an issue for us.

My Costco today had the back wall of the warehouse filled with TP and paper towels. It looked as full as it would in pre-quarantine days. I didn't need any, so didn't get any. Don't know if they're still limiting purchases to one-per-membership like they were.

I went to CVS to pick up some prescriptions and a few other things and noticed they had both tp and paper towels. Not a lot, and I didn't need any.

 

[bnoble]

There were single-roll packages of paper towel, and a number of "better" TP brands at the grocery store I was at late this morning. Plenty of pasta. Dried beans were hit-and-miss. We were short on ham, but that's not that surprising right after Easter weekend around here. Plenty of other meat and seafood options.

We live in a 55+ community. I have gotten up and out only twice to hit the senior hours. At Publix I was about #50 in line and bought one large pkg toilet paper and a double roll of paper towels. Added to what we had on hand it should last us at least 4-6 weeks.

I had given up on hand sanitizer, when this morning I went to ALDI for their senior 1/2 hour. Didn’t see much in the way of meats today but lo and behold I saw hand sanitizer and was allowed to purchase 2 bottles. Amazing. An aside note, not happy that they are still switching carts at checkout, when they sanitized it before you got it, and then they’re handing you someone else’s cart. Why bother?

Have not seen disinfectants anywhere. However, my bins of travel items for timeshares came in handy during this time. I always have a large can of Lysol spray in one of the bins, so it has some in handy as my home can emptied out. DH did have covid, and since he is still tired and we don’t know if he’s contagious, I’m still sanitizing handles and counters etc....and we are still using separate rooms...I’m hoping 21 days of quarantine is enough but who knows?

Once I stopped into Dollar Tree and found Scotties tissues which is good with this being allergy season for both of us, but the limit is 4 of any of the in-demand products. Not complaining, just have to make choices....

We belong to Costco, but the few times I tried to buy things online, I got a message that it was not available to this zip code.....that was disappointing..

DW told me she just ordered it from Costco.com

PSA...if you have saved old airline amenity kits check for kleenex and hand sanitizer. We found a bonanza in our stash while cleaning out the closet.

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

Went to Wal-Mart today. Bought same brand as in your photo --- but only allowed me one 4 pack. Customer in front of me at check out had 3 packs in his cart and they only let him purchase one.

 

[b2bailey]

The Kirkland brand toilet paper is not great. Rick put the good Charmin in my bathroom and the Kirkland in his, and when I used his bathroom, which is upstairs, I told him that stuff is awful. I don't remember it being that bad. I definitely have a prefence.

My husband found some at WalMart yesterday. Walmart is one of the many stores I tried to buy from online yesterday morning and it was showing sold out. My husband needed a router for his business and needed to go in person to get one right away. Otherwise, we never set foot in a Walmart. I told him to check for toilet paper while he was there and he said he scored a big pack of Charmin. Very exciting news.

We still have office supply stores open. Office Depot is my favorite, and they always have paper products and cleaning supplies. I would have gone there for the router.

I don't shop Walmart ever if I can help it.

So today I was at the Costco store today and was able to buy their Kirkland Toilet Paper for $16.99.

I was just on their Website around noon, and I see their Kirkland Toilet Paper is available right now online, but the cost is $19.99. So it is available right now (not sure about later today or tomorrow).

It may show as available online, but when you try to add it to your cart it won't be available in your ZIP.

WallyWorld has everything ... - well, almost

Actually, you have to first click on "Business Delivery" and then you can search for it. Then put it into your cart and you can order it.......

Found this site for those looking for toilet paper.
