    This is so stupid. Toilet paper lasts really long, so it makes sense to only stockpile it when it’s on discount and you have dry room to store it. If you actually run out, you can use other paper as a substitute (tissues, bills, pages of that book you hate).

    One roll lasts one person about a month. Maybe a bit less, if you use a lot for other purposes like cleaning things.

      Honestly some use way more than a roll a month.

      Like you, I’ve never understood TP panic vying. I have a years stock too

      Cause it takes up a lot of space on store shelves. It’s really obvious when there’s a larger demand for them.

    Get a bidet and you won’t need as much toilet paper anymore.
