I would never have dreamed that pallets of toilet paper could be so beautiful. lol. BUT would someone explain to me what people are doing with all of this toilet paper?! We never ran out before and everyone bought what they needed when they needed it. Are people still hoarding it. This is ridiculous.
Well with the stay at home orders in certain states like California where I am, I would imagine the use of it has doubled, tripled, or quadrupled. I've read articles were they say demand has increased 30-40% and tp has never been an item a store would keep stocked (due to it's bulk). I mean Costco is limiting it to one package a membership now so it's harder to hoard but I guess someone could come in daily to buy? I do know that Costco has posted a no return policy on TP and other pandemic popular items so if you hoard it, you own until it's used up :lol::lol:

I saw a guy trying to return an INSANE amount of toilet paper and water the other day at Costco. They were firm, and he got nowhere. :lol: The gal suggested he could use it up, or donate it to those in need. I initially thought I'd have a better shot at getting some TP on a weekday morning, but my Costco manager told me that the majority of the stock is geared toward Friday and Sat. morning. I was finally able to pick up a pack on a Saturday! I think the quantities are somewhat leveling out now.

I read a business article that there's a large supply of commercial toilet paper available, because everyone's at home. Many restaurants and businesses around here have taken to selling their commercial paper goods, cleaning supplies, produce, etc. to the public. You can order online, and pick up your order a couple of times a week. I thought that was a great idea, as it keeps the vendors and restaurants in business with a little extra cash flow, and gets customers what they need. Maybe not the softest TP, but it gets the job done.:biggrin:
 
Got to take a little car ride today, and pick up an online order from a favorite vintage store. We didn't see anyone, but I got to throw on a dress, my Gucci jellies, and my Chanel 19. Whoohoo!

Look at you, Miss Stylish :smile:, looking so good to get your online order. I am just drooling over your Gucci shoes — amazing details. And I don’t remember seeing this gorgeous CC 19 bag before — gorgeous and soft.

And you are right about commercial toilet paper being available. Like I read Sysco is opening to the public. Also places like Office Depot has commercial TPs (and limited household TPs) available for ordering
 
Carrying my Sophie Hulme card case to hold my lip balm. But I have to choose.:biggrin:

That's quite a fun bag for the balms.

Carrying mini Sophia again today with photos of insides. Thumbnails for space, reminder to newbies: click on thumbnails and they should open to a full-size slideshow, even if one-by-one.

Context outside, plus while some bags have “feet,” this one has skis!

Context, inside, noting with the Michael Kors iPhone 4 wallet turned sideways, due to more room at the bottom of bag than top, I can also get in the iPhone Xs with which I took the photos. Of course, in an emergency, I’d never be able to get out the mobile before the ambulance ambled by on its own.

If you squint, blink, enlarge, etc., you may be able to see the Ferragamo marque. :biggrin:

Love that bag! I wonder why Ferragamo bags doesn't get much love while they're beautifully made. I'm so happy I got one bag from this brand.

Awesome! Peekaboo is still on my wishlist lol

Thank you, sweet lady.:hbeat: I bought the Gucci jellies at outlet for a steal and a deal (i want to say $70?)! Fun fact--they're men's shoes. The 19 bag is newish, and hasn't been taken out much yet, but the smooshiness is the best part...reminds me of old school Chanel lambskin.

DH was laughing about my Kirkland branded TP purchase (we've never bought it before, and he was skeptical). He keeps telling me their slogan should be, "It's one grade above commercial TP.....not soft, but it gets the job done." :lol:

Thank you! :heart: It's one of my favorite pastimes, too....while we're not getting to wander and peek at all the goodies, quite a few of my favorite shops have been selling online, and doing curbside pickup. I'm really excited about today's pickup, and you'll see some of it over on the ABC cookware thread soon! :biggrin:

That's funny the guy was trying to return tp & water! Does he think the pandemic is over and he won't need it? I'm glad Costco stood firm. Serves that hoarder right for hoarding :lol:

I know, right?! The thing is, he could have parked at the back of the parking lot and sold it super quickly, and just made back what he paid....faster than the arguing he was doing. :lol:Costco didn’t have any TP left that day (don’t know about water).
