Did Anyone Actually Run Out of Toilet Roll?
Ask a Question
Did anyone actually run out of toilet roll and if so did you use anything as an alternative
Omg I very nearly did band I was nearly crying cursing selfish people those shopping days were horrific I have never seen anything like it disgusting behaviour I could never be like that I do blame the media though if it was nt publicised that other countries were doing it I don't think it would have happened media created a trend
No but we had to resort to buying online and just about got it at a reasonable price. I actually felt quite embarrassed when it arrived because we ended up having to buy a big pack and didn't need that many.
no, as we were still able to buy when we were running low, but had to pay a little more than usual for brands we had never even heard of
No , the supermarkets had stock back in within a few days , there never was a shortage just a distribution bottleneck . I can't fail to be amused by those who cleared the supermarket shelves to resell on Ebay etc at extortionate mark ups .
Those low lifes denied the elderly and vulnerable the chance to get their one or two rolls on their weekly pension shop .
Why am I amused ? Because those scum will have maxed out their credit cards on something they can't sell and will be staring at a stash of bog rolls , enough to wipe their bums for decades, Just deserts I reckon .
Nope. Bought 3 huge packs back in December from farmfoods on offer and still going through them now.
I think we went down to one roll it went crazy for a few weeks,never imagined people would steep as low as fighting over toilet roll
Same for sanitizer,(had one small bottle for months),we use regular soaps but just concerning people stocking up without care for others...then flogging it
No, Never had much trouble getting any either. Once it diminished off the supermarket shelves local shops still had a good supply.
Had already got some in at beginning of winter as i dont like to go out when weather gets bad,so buy a few of basics, like loo rolls, wash powder, toothpaste etc.
No. This craze was fueled by the media and quite unnecessarily.
People will literally follow everything they say.
No I never run out of toilet rolls as i'm always pretty much stocked up anyway and still haven't needed to buy any.
No, I’m glad I always stock up on essentials loo rolls, washing powder, flash, dishwasher tablets etc. Those sort of things don’t go off so keep them in utility room and garage.
You all used to use toilet roll like a wheel of fortune now you use it like you're cracking a safe!
No, I just buy it in bulk with Amazon Prime every couple of months whenever there's a good deal. Who wants to cart loo paper around? Nice easy thing to save money on.
No we were lucky my partner works in Lidl so was able to bring some home when we were running low. We didn’t buy huge amounts at any one time we just bought it as and when we were down to one roll left.
