BJ's is the same as Costco and Sam's Club.

I went Monday and there was not a paper towel or toilet tissue to be had.

Hoarding started again when the news said it may be in short supply soon
so everyone ran out and bought up. Crazy, no matter how you normally
shop you only crap so much a week so no reason to have a two year supply
on hand.

I found some store-brand toilet paper last week and grabbed it - an
18 roll pack. Got it home and realized it was scented: Lavender -
John's favorite. I hate it. It schtinks. I hate that smell of
Lavender Fabuloso, an this shit smells the same.

Arrghh Steve. I accidently bought that lavendar scented TP twice and
it's so very nasty. I've learned to look closely at the wrappers.

They don't, not that I've ever encountered. We use lavender Fabuloso
for cleaning but do not find the scent in any way offensive... it
smells a lot better than any other toilet cleaners... most toilet
cleanser scents are too medicinal.

Fabuloso is a cleaning product that was originally developed for use
in tropical climates because it killed insects, I don't think it's so
potent anymore, at least not in the US.

Angel Soft makes plain and also lavendar scented TP.
They don't scent the paper, just the cardboard tube in the center. It's
pretty strong and highly annoying.

Some papers did that long ago. Maybe that's what I bought. It was something
with a scented roll. My then roommate claimed it gave her an infection.

Yep, it's the tube. I love the scent of lavender (if it's very light)
but sincerely doubt I'd want that TP. The bathroom space is too
confined. I don't use air fresheners, it's funny to see commercials
with people spraying scent into the air. Or plugging things into wall
sockets. Or automatic scented air sprayers. Good lord, how bad does
your house smell that you have to cover it up with a bunch of artificial
fragrance?

Oh, STFU. Julie even passed on nay-saying it, then you responded to
Julie that it doesn't exist. Sheesh.

It only kills roached and some beetles. It doesn't do shit for
flying insects. It kills roaahed diluted 10 to 1 and in less than 8
seconds flat. With RAID they can still run another 20-40 feet and
twitch for hours. With Fabuloso they don't get more than another 3
inches.

I know you don't watch much television but ads for it are fairly common.
Scenting *everything* has become a "thing". Things like laundry
boosters and air fresheners are being pushed more than ever. No thanks.

I watch no TV. I do take surveys and know about the air fresheners and
laundry products. I hate taking those surveys because I have no use for
those products. They seem to be trying to find an excited audience for new
potential products. I'm not it,

You take the damn surveys, but you HATE doing it? Is this something

it is rather sickening, i can taste it in foods
cooked in homes that use them, the scents stick to
various surfaces.

we've had to take containers to some places if
there is enough for leftovers. when we've used
anything they have in the cupboards it tastes like
it was coated with soap. you go to have some
turkey and stuffing the next day and find out
you're eating soapy tasting food that used to be
excellent.

things like dryer sheets and fabric softeners are
really bad, but also a lot of dish detergents can be
pretty bad if someone doesn't rinse well enough or
their dishwasher doesn't rinse well. *gack*

I bought soap at Big Lots years ago and had to toss it for that reason. No
matter how long I rinsed, the soap taste remained.

My husband has become sensitive to perfumes in stores. Sensible use
levels do not bother him though like my scented soaps or his favorite
'Old Spice' shower soap.

It's the women (or men!) dousing themselves too heavily that are the
issue.

Count your 21st century blessings, comrades!

https://historycollection.com/the-un...ing-fathers/8/

"8. Hygiene after use of the privy was less than pleasant

What the US Founding Fathers used to clean themselves after using the privy €“ their term for outhouses €“ depended in large part on where they lived. Farmers and those who dwelled in small towns frequently resorted to corn cobs. Their effectiveness can only be imagined. In larger cities people resorted to newspapers, the leaves of books, or more frequently, old rags, which were then tossed into the privy pit. Some contained a rag or sponge on a stick, stored in a basin of water in which each the user rinsed it. Most privies were located outside, in blocks, for use of anyone, while larger homes had their own located in their backyard gardens.

There were indoor facilities in some buildings, small closets which contained a seat installed over a chamber pot. Emptying the pot required the servant allotted the task to carry it to one of the privies outside, though frequently they were simply dumped in the gutters, which also carried the waste of horses, mules, and pigs. The cities in Revolutionary America could be smelled from miles away, and the formerly pristine rivers carried wastes, many of them of the toxic variety, far downstream. Technology for more advanced sanitation and hygiene simply did not exist at the time of the Founding Fathers, who made do with what was available to them. Early in the first administration of George Washington the problem of sanitation in cities rose to the fore among civic leaders across the United States..."

Those leaves would make some extra nutritious mulch for the garden.

I tried giving mine away. Asked a few neighbors but none were
interested. I hated to just throw them away so I bagged them up and used
one at a time - kept in a bag on back of toilet, not on the roll dispenser.

The second time I accidently bought one, I hadn't opened the package yet
so I took them back to the grocery store with receipt and they let me
exchange for the unscented. whew! ;o

That was the smart thing to do. I'm glad they had the unscented in
stock for the exchange.

I should have bought the "Tropical" scent so my ass could smell like

I love the scent of lavender but I don't think I'd like scented TP.
Never did care for printed flowers on toilet paper, either. That was a
"thing" (briefly) back in the day. Don't need pretty flowers printed on
toilet paper, or on paper towels. I digress...

One day shortly after this whole hoarding thing started back in March,
after the TP disappeared from even Walmart shelves, I was at the gas
station convenience store looking for Slim Jims. (kidding!) A thought
popped into my head: I wonder if they have toilet paper? Yep! Cheap,
never heard of brand, four roll packs. Apparently no one ever thinks
about buying TP at a gas station convenience store.

Seems no one ever shops those back aisles. Worked out well for me.

Shitloads of people by TP from gas stations. They even sell single
rolls.

Well gee, I guess most folks around here forgot to be part of the
"shitloads" who buy TP at the gas station back in March. LOL All I know
is the big stores and the dollar stores were sold out yet this little
Exxon station had many four roll packs. It was cheap, but surprisingly
soft. Not a brand I'd ever heard of. Not tons of sheets per roll but
hey, it was better than none. Point being, not many people around here
thought to look for TP at the gas station.

The ultimate convenience would be to take a dump(*) at the gas
station, use the provided toilet paper (assuming there is some), and
take a few squares for at home.

A friend of mine with 2 daughters and a wife are into that JIT
(Just-In-Time) restocking method, especially with toilet paper. I
used to stop at the gas station on the way over to their house to
get beer and a 4-roll pack of cheap gas station TP (*)
(unrequested). That's where they got all their TP and beer several
times a day, too.

ObFood: I'm eating an awesome meatball, provolone, romano, and Jimmy
John's pickled cherry pepper sandwich after getting my last 28-day
round of rabies shots and then shopping at Walmart. I find the
rabies shots help before shopping at Walmart. They have the best
hogie rolls (as odd as that may seem).

(*) if you haven't seen a "single roll" of TP in decades, they've
gotten 66% smaller and lighter than the single rolls of the 1980's.
And they're 1" narrower and the core cardboard is much bigger in
diameter.

I got mine at the Asian grocery store. Even the Asians shop at HEB
for toiletries.
