Our Local COSTCO had a supply of TP and Paper Towels. LIMIT - One of Each Per Customer!
However; the Kirkland frozen Pizza packages were OUT of Stock.... Also low on stock was Ice Cream.

ANOTHER HOARDER ITEM: Web Cams UNDER $100.00
It seems that a set of Hoarders/Gougers are intent on buying up the Stock of Inexpensive Webcams
AND THEN Gouging Prices over $250.00 for the same Item that NORMALLY Retails at $69 to $70 US.
Amazon is now guilty of harboring said Hoarders/Gougers now Listed as "3rd Party Sellers". Item: Logitech C920S
Logitech themselves List this Item at $69.95. It is a SIMPLE 1080p Webcam with Stereo Mics - with Shutter Closure for Privacy.
Best Buy is keeping the Item, (now out of stock), at the $69 Price Point. The goal of the Hoarders/Gougers is to RAKE IN as MUCH
$$$ as they possibly can WHILST the Covid-19 Outbreak rages on worldwide AND MORE AND MORE Doctors REQUIRE
a Webcam to enable NEW Zoom-Online Doctor's Visits.... Just PLAIN WRONG!!!!!

Streets Of Heaven Now Paved With Toilet Paper

... Lol #satire
Several musicial groups revised their songs about heaven, with Creed changing one of their popular songs to the lyrics "Can you take me higher / to a place with Charmin streets?" Meanwhile, U2 changed "Where the Streets Have No Name" to "Where the Streets Have Two-Ply."

Don't forget Shakespeare.
"To wipe or not wipe" that is the question. :-)

Kroger TP in a 30 roll package is what I normally buy, but 24 in two 12 packs is ok, 30 just costs less than two 12 packs. And this is good TP too.

Apparently some people can't distinguish between Austria and Australia.

Last time I was in town, any TP vanished quickly in this rural area. Not much is on the trucks for here.

Local Tesco's this morning had rice, dried pasta and liquid type soaps in stock as well as plenty of TP and tissues.

The only noticeable shortage was the alcohol type hand gel.

Was quite surprised that there was no queue to enter the store but they were counting us in and out.

It's really just a ploy to sell books.
