Another Paper Shortage?

A friend's wife is buyer for the local Walmart, she told him that the national warehouse in Ohio hadn't received a shipment of TP, paper towels, etc in a couple of weeks. They are blaming it on the forest fires for some reason. Said to look for empty shelves soon. I stocked up, but not a stupid amount. Anyone else heard that rumor?

IMHO there will be a shortage of EVERYTHING in the near future.....well except idiots, those will remain abundant!
Its almost too late, but if yall are not prepared to be self sufficient, then ya better start preparing!
I feel that my wife and I have prepared all that we can afford, probably a LOT more than the average person, BUT I still KNOW its not enough.
Scary times we are living in!
Have no fear, like currency the government will print some.
still have plenty of TP left from last hurrah
I haven't heard the news, but I always keep a good stock of paper products and soap on hand.
I hate shopping, so I never want to run out of anything.
In stock at the Bezos vendor ... 😉🤣
At some point, with this "transient" inflation........it will be cheaper to wipe with $1 bills!
Just sayin'
I'm a survivor.
Leaves are big and green this year from all the rains and I know what Poison Ivy/Oak looks like.
Them corn cobs in the guys picture are not for Nancies to use, that is John Wayne type wipes.
Use the yellow cobs first, last wipe use the red cobs!
Mike ,I believe you use red first then last wipe is white.
Yes red cobs first, white is to check for a clean first swipe.
They really need to get those "three shells" from the movie "Demolition Man". Also how to use them.
Oh, I figured red last so you couldnt see the damage that had just occured. 😁
If paper gets really scarce Might have to get/build a uni/sex porta john and Sears and Roebuck type catalogs, sack of lime and get something for them biting knats.
Cannot label these types RESTROOMS due to the biting knats.
Seen one of them Porta Johns outside a Lowes in Oklahoma awhile back.
I should have taken a picture and posted it over on the Arborist site that has a thread about:
HOW TO SAVE MONEY AT LOWES
Any of you bought TP lately?
I figure, in the last ten years or so, TP has gotten about 3/4" skinnier........that big gap on each end of the roll, didn't use to be there. On the bright side........rolls are easier to change. 😀
Pretty soon it'll actually BE the same width as duct tape!!!
Lord........help us.
Not sure if the TP got skinny or my butt got wider 😁👍
As long as the water still runs, we'll be just fine. LOL
Older Sears and Roebuck along with Montgomery Wards catalogs had pages that would do the "business" but the later glossy one just would not cut the mustard.
The wife and i get enough junk mail to wipe thousands of butts. Sad part it is glossy.
Is that guy headed to make a corn pile for the deer ? 😃
At the rate they are printing it, wiping my butt with it will be about all it's good for soon.
