If the Government want to stop the panic buying then they need to kick the supermarkets ***** into getting the shelves restocked somehow, because nothing makes people panic buy more than thinking there is a shortage and aisle after aisle of empty shelves certainly gives you the feeling that there is a supply problem.
I don't even need toilet paper but after seeing how hard it is to get out our way, I reckon i'd buy it if I found it just because I could and im starting to think that's the problem, its no longer a 'hoarding' purchase but now an 'opportune' buy.

Coles and woollies and probably the others are fast-tracking new staff to stock the shelves.

I am a bit over people balming hoarders as such, yes some people might be scared and have bought too much.

For some of us buying in bulk is how we normally shop but that can not happen now as everybody is limited so as far as hoarding goes the restrictions go some way to stopping that.

We mostly had a large supply of stock before CV then I saw somebody was complaining about not being able to get XYZ, so I reach out and say it's all good please just come over and get want you to want, and on top of that I gave it to them for free, all good don't want any money.

What Do I get in return, No thanks and then they post one of the posts that says all hoarders are funts, type posts.

Yep, that says it all. Some people are going to spend thier life complaining and blaming others for thier lives plot regardless.

Wandered down to the shop this afternoon and I'm more convinced than ever that people are retarded. The chocolate and ice cream racks were fully stocked. Seriously what is wrong with people. Surely in times of crisis you hit the chocolate!!

Why spend all your time looking for small rolls that run out quickly when you can have this.

Another visit to Aldi, no bog rolls. A pitiable mound of anaemically slender paper towel rolls. 89¢ Remano penne - oh yes! I split the bags apart, tipped them out and rolled luxuriously on the floor, pasta crackling deliciously under my girth. Sort of like 9 1/2 Weeks in tradie hi-vis, solo and without the sex.

Finally got some this morning ,after not seeing any in the supermarket for over a month.

I wrote this today as a more detailed guide hope it helps some, * unable due to image restrictions to post images.?

Here is what I solved/invented for our family and hope it may help your family from getting the toilet paper ****s.

In pictures

1. You are on your last roll of toilet paper.

2. You are ow out (But no need to panic we have survived wars and depressions).

3. You have at your disposal at least some of these items, paper towel, tissues, baby wipes, flushable wipes (that probably should not be flushed), paper napkins, the messenger newspaper if needs be and the list goes on. But none of these can be flushed.

4. The answer to the problem, buy some doggy do bags from the supermarket and or pet store ( please do not steal them from the parks) and place them into the empty toilet roll holder or similar container and at the top open one up so the paper items can be dropped inside.

5. Once you have used the toilet you can remove and tie up the doggy do bag and then place it out in your rubbish bin and then place a new doggy do liner into your holder.

* In the event you can not get doggy do bags then keep your old bread bags and or any similar plastic bags as back up.

* No Paper towel was harmed during the production of this guide.

Stay well to all in these difficult times.

Reminds me of South Korea.

It's even on YT car channels; Vehcor makes a crack about selling toilet paper and sanitising wipes he found inside a Ford.

Doesn't asia use bidets?

I scored on TP yesterday but will still probably get a butt washer spray to reduce the use. Because I can't deal with having to search for it for 3 weeks again next time I plan to buy it. I'm not going to keep casually going out to look for it or keep an eye out and there's no telling how long this hoarding or instantly empting shelves will last for.

Dole pay today so add on under seat $40 bidet bought!

Hoovie recommending an old ford excursion because you can have 6ft between driver and last row seating and calculating how many toilet paper rolls will fit

Day 9 (I think , I may have lost count) now of the great TP hunt and still no luck.


I even PMéd someone here asking for tips of where and when.


BIL insisted I take 16 rolls from his supply last night - probably to stop my whinging

[Tonz]

whinging obviously worked.

By the end of tomorrow we will have loaded out approx 2000 pallets of toilet paper this week, just for Brisbane metro woolies...

Worlds gone bloody mad

Hardy actually.

South Korea and many surrounding countries dispose of their toilet paper in a bin next to the bowl.

The story is the plumbing is very old and can't handle the paper.

Lots of westerners scoff and test the theory only for them to block the toilet more often then not.

They even sell special TP that disintegrates on contact with water.

I managed to get a 9 pack at our local Coles couple of days ago at the oldies session and the wife grabbed a pack this morning for my youngest son who was desperate for some, even then there was limited stock out.

Adelaide....thanks though.
So ridiculous isnt it?!




BTW, your posts regarding the CRN have been a topic at home.
My oldest boy has had to contact Centerlink for first time after his business has dived and is dealing with getting his claim(?) moving forward.
He made a last minute decision this evening to drive to the branch and, after seeing no lines and not realising they were shutting in 10 minutes, walked in and got everything sorted and he has just rung us here to say so. Having my wife's CRN (which I figure he was once linked to?) somehow helped the process glue together for him.

Stressy times. Hope you are now sorted after the ID issue

It varies, anywhere from 600 to a 1000 I’d guess.
