Toilet Paper

Back in May 2020, I wrote: “Will I ever stop shopping for toilet paper? There’s been such a shortage that I feel I must buy it if I see it. Yesterday I ordered a huge package from Sam’s Club. My pack will contain 32 rolls (218 sheets per roll) and should arrive next week. I already had a braggable amount. So many jokes about the value of TP. I’m a wealthy woman with two and 3/4’s “forever” 12-inch roll boxes and dozens of regular double rolls. According to the comments, with that supply, I could attract most any guy. I’m rich!!”

Well, it has continued. I like the “forever” 12-inch rolls, so at the beginning of the pandemic, I subscribed for re-delivery every so many months. Last week I received another “order.” When I went to put it away, couldn’t find space. I’m totally over-stocked. I have at least five of the huge three-roll boxes (which means 15 12-inch rolls). They should last a lifetime. I hadn’t realized that my supply had gotten so far ahead of my usage.

I prefer to use my master bathroom, in part because that’s where my forever roll is located. So yesterday I ordered a second floor model holder. It should come by next Monday. Maybe by adding a big roll in the guest bath, I’ll use more of the huge rolls. I hope so. I will watch carefully because when the pandemic was in full swing, “forever rolls” weren’t available.

I also still buy the Family Mega roll packages of Charmin’ which equal 123 regular rolls.

John criticized my “excessive” toilet paper usage but I love feeling I can use whatever I want. And when Kelly visited, she commented on loving the toilet paper I buy.

When I get down to my last three roll box, I’ll probably panic.
