Hell, I buy it in 32 packs. Does that make me a hoarder or criminal?
I buy it 20 double roll 12 packs at a time. That’s 240 rolls. Sure hope I don’t get pulled over! lol
I also buy TP in bulk, but the reason we are not hoarders is we don’t then double and tripple down every time there is rumor of a crisis, or we go into a minor crisis. We let the amound dwindle before we go back and buy in bulk.
Hoarders buy all they can buy/carry/see and then go back for more. That is the difference.
In fact, if everybody bought in bulk, the Great TP Shortage of 2020 would have been mild, because then all non-hoarders would still have a well stocked pantry of TP to ride out a month’s time. It would have been a non-issue.
The killer is that the hoarders ruined it for the people who only buy a 4-pack for singles or a 12-pack for a family of 4. If everybody bought in bulk, there would be no TP shortage. People like you and me did everyone else a favor by not needing to buy TP at this time.
But now, even I am getting nervous. As my 24-pack has dwindled the past month, I am thinking, will there be any new stock to replace it? I am not seeing TP on store shelves anywhere, so even I am getting nervous now.
