I bought a house 6 months before lockdown.

I bought a super huge pack of charmin toilet paper at BJs. My ex bought a super huge pack of charmin toilet paper at BJs.

We had a laugh about all of our toilet paper.

As a joke I bought 2 more huge packs, because we had room and it was funny and had basically become an inside joke.

Then lockdown happened.

Toilet paper became a commodity.

I JUST (December 27th to be precise) ran out of the pre-covid toilet paper stocks we had.

I had signed up for a tp delivery service the previous September, and got 48 rolls every eight weeks, which was the “light use estimate” for a single person household.

I don’t know what the rest of y’all are doing, but I had used six rolls when the second shipment came in November. I passed it around to all my friends and forgot to cancel it, so I received a third shipment January. Of 48 rolls.

I now had received 144 rolls of toilet paper in four months, and I use it at a rate of 3.5 rolls per month.

I set a phone reminder to cancel it, and donated 48 rolls to a shelter. Then, in march, when my cancellation alert came up, I realized another shipment might not be the worst thing.

Then in April I got a bidet. I did manage to cancel my subscription, and left rolls on all my neighbors front steps, and I still had enough to last until may of 2021, when I moved and donated the rest.
