How many rolls of TP are in your home right now? Don’t count partials on the holder in the loo.

And how many per person?

Don't know the number, but it's a lot. But they weren't bought in a panic over C-19. Just bought in bulk to economize because they're easy to store in the bathroom closet.

A lot. Before the panic, Target had a sale where you could get a big discount if you bought a lot.

Not regretting that now ...

Before yesterday, we had 9. After yesterday, we have 33. Evil

We normally buy the Costco bale, stick it in the garage and forget about it. When I checked our supply over the weekend I realized it was getting low. I would never have tried to replenish with 9 rolls available under normal circumstances.

For some reason, we have a million rolls of paper towels, though. I think one of us just grabbed the giant pack at Costco thinking we might be out, and we weren't.

I have 55, including the several under the cabinets of the three bathrooms.

But for the virus I’d probably have more like 25 or so. A spare 18-pack in the basement and a few in each bathroom.


But as you might have noticed, I was a little ahead of the game in terms of being aware that quarantines, closures, etc were coming. So we prepared to be self sufficient for a month of necessary.

When I bought it, I still had the luxury of choosing the brand on sale.

Including what's in the towers in each bathroom, 17 rolls.

So, not that bad, but not what I would consider a stock! -_-

I think I posted this here the other day (maybe not?) But I have no idea how much TP we go through, we never stock up, just buy whatever big package, and then when that's almost gone, but another one. Not to mention the fact that we are both now at home 24/7, so are not using the facilities in workplaces etc.

Anyway, the last time Mr. SK bought TP, the biggest package was a 12-roll pack, and he only bought one because he's not as paranoid as I am a good person. suave

We usually buy a bale when we get down to the last six pack or so and they're on sale at Costco.

Right now, a Costco bale plus six rolls. What's that, 36? Plus whatever is in the bathroom itself. Two people.

We're at normal levels. This is probably a three month supply, maybe a little more, for us. We're both retired so our usage pattern isn't changed.

I just checked, and it’s eight. It’s only that high because I live in a three-bedroom condo, and always make sure there’s a couple of extra rolls in each of them.

But I live by myself, and I could always use something like the curtains in a pinch and no one would be any the wiser…

Two people. I would like to have more, but it may take a week or so before the shelves aren't bare in all the stores around.

I don't care because it is a non-issue in my house.

But, we bought an 24 pack at the grocery last week or so. We have 40 rolls in reserve.

2 more bidets arrived today. I now have 4 toilets with bidets and 2 without. The 2 without are for #1 only please!

I have 22. I bought a 12 pack last week just in case not realizing there were some in the upstairs linen closet.

That is over 2 bathrooms, one person. Though I do use them for tissues with I run out of those..

Tissues are what I hoard with my allergies.

I just learned that Mik buys 96 rolls at a time.

I think we need to reassess TPP (toilet paper procurement) in the SK household.... suave
