In SoCal, I had to go to 6 stores to find any and was allowed only 2 6-packs. It was Vons at around 8 in the am. Two times two separate Vons stores have had what I needed when other stores did not. Don’t know if you have Vons or pavilions or whatever the names are in Albuquerque. If you’re over 65 you can go earlier to some stores.
You may need to call or have someone do it for you asking
about the senior hour. If it is still on or not.
Special Shopping Hours: 60 and older
We know our older customers could be more vulnerable to the coronavirus and to better support them, Walmart is offering special shopping hours. From March 24 through April 28, Walmart stores will host an hour-long senior shopping event every Tuesday for customers aged 60 and older.
This will start one hour before the store opens. Our Pharmacies and Vision Centers will also be open during this time.
I have seen some TP in the stores, but limited selection of brand / type. Paper towels are still hard to find, and mostly in single rolls. Still out of disinfecting wipes, most cleaners, and liquid soap.
Back in stock in SE Wisconsin
Be careful around the TP aisle.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Amid the empty shelves and store closures, a Springfield, Missouri, Walmart had its own commotion going Wednesday afternoon.
A baby was born in the toilet paper aisle.
“We were like, oh my gosh, is this actually going to happen,” said store manager Jessica Hinkle.
Hinkle said the woman warned store associates that her last child came in just 30 minutes. When the woman’s water broke in the toilet paper aisle, she was prepared to go into labor right then and there.
“We were like, what do we do now?” she said. “Another lady comes around the corner and she says ‘I’m a labor nurse. Can I help?’ and we said, ‘Yes, yes please.’ She had gloves in her pocket, [and] she was ready.”
Hinkle said she grabbed a sheet and blocked the aisle to give the woman as much privacy as possible.
“Crowd control, [I’m] not like the best with blood so that was my job, holding the sheet and crowd control, making sure that nobody invaded what privacy the poor lady still had,” Hinkle said.
Springfield firefighters rushed into the store and helped deliver the baby girl.
“They’re the typical fire department that shops in our store, so they were pretty proud of themselves,” Hinkle said.
She said the entire process took about 45 minutes and customers were cheering for the woman the whole time.
Aldi’s has it.
Today in our SC Walmart there was a center aisle bin with limited paper towels and TP, like about twelve packs total. So I grabbed a pack of TP and a pack of paper towels. This guy comes up to me and says, “your only allowed one pack”. I asked him if he worked there and he said, “no but you have to be fair to others”. I said, I have one each, which he said I wasn’t being honest and glared at me. I asked him if he knew how to read and pointed to my cart, then left. I seriously felt threatened for just a second.
For what it’s worth, Walmart north of Colorado Springs CO
Have to ASK for TP, they are keeping it in back to prevent people from taking too much.
TP in Roswell, but customers limited to two rolls.
Paper towles, hand sanitizer, and nitrile gloves
available, but sell out quickly.
There was a pallet of tp at the Aldi in Medina, MN today. So the times they are a changin’.
Would a Math genius please work out how long the shortage can persist. Does the human being reach a point where they have purchased so much that they stop buying? Or is it a case that ‘one years supply will be sold at current rate in 10 weeks.’ Just how long can it go on for before sanity returns? Or is there no end to human stupidity?
There was no tp, ppr towels, kleenex at the Albuquerque Smith’s I went to yesterday morning. And if there were you could only buy one box of kleenex for example.
The nearest store ‘down the hill’ is stocked up as in everything. No difference. Of course most folks up here have been prepped for a LONG time regarding food, water, firearms, TP, ammo etc, etc, etc. Just 3 cases, (No deaths), of the virus confirmed between mine and the 4 nearest counties as of this afternoon. I’m more likely to get put down by DWD, (Deer Wasting Disease), or BBCJ, (Big Bear Claws/Jaws.), up here. Seriously. Stay safe FReepers!
Just yesterday we gave a large pack of TP to the couple who are painting our home here in IL....there still is none at the stores.
They were reduced to using paper towels, and they were running low on that.
Down in Biloxi area, it sells out as fast as it shows up - some probably adding to their hoard-stashes and others finally getting a shot at it....and probably trying to build up their own stashes because of the original hoarders.
We were 2 days ago when I looked at Kroger. We still have 10 rolls at home and that was pre-Wuhan stock (Amazon).
Hit or miss here in central NH.
