Just as I bought a large box of 12 commercial grade paper towel rolls yesterday, as a substitute for t.p., many fellow shoppers were buying single rolls of the same paper towels at $3.99 each, as a substitute for t.p., and others had large packages of napkins, while others had multiple boxes of tissues. Folks were not leaving without something to use for t.p., in spite of the fact that there wasn’t any traditional t.p. to be found anywhere in the store.
I think you’d be better off buying extra packs of Kleenex for TP. I’ve actually used Kleenex in that way before. Paper towels would likely clog your toilet eventually.
I sent my youngest a YUGE (Costco) box of kleenex, since they (Costco.com) were out of TP.
I figured it would maybe come in handy, one way, or another.
