Let's not worry about medications or cough syrup, throat lozenge or even soups. What the hell are they going to do with TP

toilet paper & peanut butter sandwiches to live on. She had zero food and an overflowing cart full of nothing but tp.

allowed to drive for another month. I’m at the mercy of begging rides from others for appointments. All last fall I was ordering online but currently the prices are outrageous, if the product is even in stock. Check toilet paper on Amazon. So this week after my dr appt I asked my friend to take me to the cvs to buy some. The shelves were bare. So we tried another and I bought 3 packs. There was plenty left so I was not totally hoarding. But I’m good for a while now. Never take such things for granted. I think that picture is me.

As well as groceries, I buy paper towels, TP, batteries, over the counter medications, etc.

Other store chains also deliver locally (Kroger and their affiliated brands, Target, etc)

I’ve been ordering thru Walmart but lately the TP pickings for delivery are slim and the expensive.

I agree, when things are in stock it’s a big help. We don’t have the other brands you mentioned. We have a small local market that delivers for $5 but I keep forgetting to order on a Tues for Thurs delivery. I’ve gotten spoiled by ordering whenever I needed something. I’ve also gotten spoiled with free delivery. Hopefully things will calm down and products will become available. If not I will get my wheels back in April! Even though I have good friends who help I miss that independence.

This is a respiratory illness.

Does this mean they don't know their ass from a hole in their face? Let me guess how they voted in '16.
