First The Toilet Paper, Then Paper Towels, Sanitizer Wipes, Now Diapers & Baby Formula!
We had our laughs over the disappearing TP just a week ago. Did anyone think it would come to what we are witnessing now? What in the hell is going on in this country? Absolute greed and hoarding. Why are Americans so damn selfish? I am one and I’m ashamed of my fellow citizens. *Truckers delivering goods are being attacked.* We are one of the richest countries in the world and the food shelves are going bare!
Diapers and formula? Why? I never thought I would see the day when I couldn’t buy a loaf of bread, eggs, meat, etc. I buy in bulk staple items. I have a freezer full of food so we are doing OK. There are items I do need and have attempted to order the same items from Wal-Not 5 days in a row! Today I had a box of cereal delivered. When I opened the door the delivery gal and I both burst out laughing! Out of 15 items ordered a box of cereal made the cut! 🤣
But, this is getting old real fast! People aren’t working so there’s no income coming into the home. What are people doing who don’t have a freezer full of food? Take-out isn’t an option because there’s no funds to purchase it. Now the babies? The babies are being affected because of the damn hoarders!
Finally Wal-Not has put a limit of 2 on the same item, but what good is that if the items aren’t available? We cut down on the use of paper towels and have started using cloth napkins along with the several rolls of bamboo “paper” towels which can be laundered. I’ve purchased 2 Bidet toilet seats to cut down the use of TP.
I need to sanitize my laundry due to my husband’s leg ulcers and my daughter always has an infection of some sort...we both have IBS. (Good thing I have 3 toilets!) I was using the Lysol Sanitizer Rinse additive, but of course it’s no longer available. I’ve always used Borax to give my detergent an extra boost. I use white vinegar at times to set color (my mom used it to cut the bad sudsing we had at one time from phosphates & to help remove lint). I got to thinking and did research, Borax and white vinegar used together disinfects! I’ve conquered that! I also had 480 baby wipes made from bamboo and natural ingredients delivered yesterday, but they can’t be flushed.
So, folks what products are you having a problem locating? Are you feeling the pinch? BTW, bottled water is disappearing off the shelves! Why? We aren’t preparing for a hurricane! All I can say is, God save us from the stupidity of the hoarders. But, sometimes ya just can’t fix stupid!
*Edit: Someone told me truckers were being attacked for supplies. I cannot locate a source to back that statement. I should not have posted without verifying.
