Be honest - how many toilet rolls in your house?

I realised today we have 18 toilet rolls in the cupboard. To be fair, I always have lots in for some reason. But a friend told me on the phone today, she now has......65. How about you?

I’ve got about 30 left from my last Costco trip.

I got a "job lot" off vokonf direct. They haven't run out at all and now I can leave the stuff In the supermarket for others

Ive got approx 140 toilet rolls atm. I hate shopping and buy loads every time I go to farmfoods then stop when I have a big stash. I haven't bought any since early January, won't but anymore until Im down to last pack.

Babyg1995 · 03/04/2020 15:11

Around 30 we always bulk buy them anyway .

sobersides · 03/04/2020 15:22

16 which consists of an unopened 6 pack cheap stuff, a freshly opened 9 pack quality grade and a 'decorative' roll with a comedy wrapper only to be used in exceptional circumstances (squits)

TitsalinaBumSquash · 03/04/2020 15:29

We have loads .. however, we have our usual supply through WGAC and as we started getting in at Christmas I still don't know how after we need the delivery so we've ended up with left over Christmas rolls and our feb delivery too.

I am a community carer and I have 1 or 2 whole families who couldn't get loo roll and we're panicking about it so I picked up some everywhere I could, then promptly became listed on the 'shielding' group so can't leave my house. I've told colleges it's here and will happily wipe it down and leave in the doorstep but apparently there's stuff available in shops now...

My mum has hidden her toilet roll stash in case the government comes and checks. I would laugh, but who knows how this whole thing will end up?

UnfinishedSymphon · 03/04/2020 15:42

100 here, we did a big Costco shop about 2 weeks before the madness. I'm also glad we went to a massive meat market and filled our freezer at the same time - friends and family have been offered both if they need them

Oakmaiden · 03/04/2020 15:48

Got an unopened pack of 9, and half a roll still left on the holder.

ViveLEntenteCordiale · 03/04/2020 17:10

I just counted (bored anyone Grin)

16 of type A - happy that I bought a bag of 32 when they were on bulk-buy offer in January.

14 of inferior type B, to be used only in the downstairs toilet that is prone to getting blocked and where no pooping is allowed Envy

In what way are people clearing shelves of loo roll to stockpile not to blame for a resulting shortage?

Actually I have a question for a change.

How is someone buying toilet roll over Oct,Nov,Dec and Jan the reason you can't get toilet roll now... In April?

gamerchick · 03/04/2020 17:40

Because in February, there was plenty.

RollerT · 03/04/2020 17:47

280 but I’m a prepper so always kept large stocks.

pilates · 03/04/2020 19:24

Roller, where do you keep them?

ghostmous3 · 03/04/2020 20:08

About 20.

All bought before the panic started

RollerT · 03/04/2020 20:11

@pilates majority of my supplies at DM’s house. I don’t have the space.

JoshLymanIsHotterThanSam · 03/04/2020 20:12

About 30 ish. I bulk buy-it is not a result of panic buying.

DariaMorgendorffer · 03/04/2020 20:13

18

I hope they have some when I go to the shops tomorrow

ghostmous3 · 03/04/2020 20:18

I've always made sure I have plenty of toilet paper blue sheep.

I bought my bog roll just after christmas when there was shit loads in the shops and no one had heard of Corona virus.

I never panic bought one pack. So in no way did I contribute to the shortage of bog roll Confused

georgialondon · 03/04/2020 21:07

60-79 but we also buy on Amazon subscribe and save, that's why.

FrenchBoule · 03/04/2020 21:29

IndieTara · 03/04/2020 21:31
