We only have 2 months supply of TP and this TP shortage is getting me a little concerned. I have a year's worth of shampoo and body wash. So you get an idea that I stock up household supplies. I don't want to go into the stores anymore but I really hope that TP start showing up in the stores shelves again.
I figured when I was down to 2 rolls, I'd place an order, hopefully by then, it won't be backorder. no clue how it's going on shelves here, I had what I needed before it was March, I was early to avoiding people, and knew a freakout was coming. From footage I've seen on tv, no way I want to be anywhere near a store right now, still a bit too many people for me. I'm sure some of it is cabin fever vs actual Need.
I've been doing more of a JIT the past few years, conserving cash, stretching resources until cabinet nearly bare and making do without (not tp, tho!) I would not want to stock a year's worth of anything. I don't have the space and it's unlikely that I would have to hole up here for an entire year. even if all our tall trees fell on our roads, my legs work, I can hike a couple miles for provisions.
