AIBU to ask how many toilet rolls you currently have in your house?!

[hallomother]

After being accused of panic buying and enabling/encouraging panic buying on another thread I’m curious as to what’s the norm.
As toilet roll seems to have sold out everywhere or most places at least - do you have a big stock of them normally?

We currently have 18 left over from one of the big packs of 40 from Costco we bought a while ago - always do our big shopping there so also have wipes and antibac laundry in volume for the same reason!

About 22-24 from a Costco shop a few weeks ago.

Active IBS (and this Coronovirus situation really isn't helping this) flare up.

Oh , and I work for the NHS , patient facing so no working from home and in contact with loads of potential carriers .

And I am medically at risk.

I think loo roll is the least of my worries

10. They are part of a 16 pack which I bought two weeks ago, before the panic buying set in.

I'm not saying. I don't want my house getting robbed tonight because I disclosed my stash online.

I've recently had cause to transport and leave a really decent almost new office-type printer and a laptop visible in the back seat of the car for several hours, and I was a little cautious, but we live in a small place and I wasn't really worried about the risk of their being stolen.

Three days after that, I had two loose bottles of 99p handwash/soap on view in the passenger seat and I was genuinely hugely uneasy for the few minutes when the car was out of my sight

46 in total plus around 10 rolls of kitchen roll.
For context....I have a medically vulnerable child so am unlikely to get out for quite a while. Half of the above was part of a brexit stash I’d accrued!

25 ish?

We get 48 each delivery from Who Gives a Crap, so I currently have about 55, but you can do the maths as to what I had before the delivery came.

we always have a stash in the cupboard. IBD sufferer. I can't risk running low

I haven't panic purchased, just always have it stashed away

We get a 45 pack of andrex monthly on subscribe & save with amazon, have done since 2017. Our order arrived on Monday.

No idea there are always loads, I stick 2-3 packs of Andrex quilts in my online delivery whenever they have money off. Haven't bought any for 2-3 weeks.

We have just bought a 9 pack today as were on the last roll. It will last us 7 days

Haven't counted but I think about 12. No pun intended but I couldn't give a shit if we run out. Plenty of stuff we can improvise with.

6 x 18 packs, and ordered a 48 roll box from who gives a crap as a back up since the 18 roll packs i get are from home bargains and theyre all empty.
Yes, it is excessive, BUT i have severe OCD about toilets, bodily waste and germs and IBS, i average a roll a day, and my sister has the same conditions also.

We go through a LOT of dettol spray (can a day) handwash and soap, all has to be antibacterial, this outbreak is a nightmare for people like us, all the items we rely on daily to function sold out everywhere indefinitely, so yes, if i find somewhere with it, i buy it, thankfully i have credit to be able to try to stockpile til supply is back.

The fear everyone has about this is how we feel every day about all germs, its a small taster for most of a very difficult life.

108 in storage, but we're preppers (if you've seen the preppers section here) and have always bought in bulk from the wholesalers.

I normally have one pack open in each of our two loos, and at least two unopened packs (of 9 rolls), so one pack in use and one spare for each loo. This is my minimum comfort zone, as soon as I open a 9-pack, I put another on the shopping list, but when they're on offer I may well double up on replacement packs. It's not as if they have a use-by date!

I do exactly the same with the other items people are stocking up on. One pack of paracetamol (and one aspirin, one ibuprofen) open downstairs, one open upstairs, and one in my bag - and therefore three more packs on standby at home, ready to replace each open pack as they're finished. And 4-packs of tinned tomatoes, 3kg bags of pasta, laundry powder, soap and shampoo, milk, butter, cheese... always one open and a minimum of one ready to replace it. I'm over 60, I've always done this, and I honestly can't imagine being down to my last one of anything - well, anything I get through quickly. I don't keep a spare bottle of soy sauce, for example, because I don't use it much and a bottle will last a year or more, but there's a spare ketchup, HP sauce, mayonnaise... when one has enough for a couple of weeks left in it, I put it on the shopping list and can look for offers or the best price to get another one before the open one runs out and the current spare is started.

Somewhere between 12 and 16. I’ve not checked both bathrooms to tell if the kids have blitzed through many. That’s not an excessive amount for my house, though if I see any in the next few days I might pick up an extra pack. I have a spare hand soap for each bathroom and the kitchen sink. The kids have a little hand sanitizer thing hanging off each backpack routinely anyway in winter which I refill from a big one I already keep in. Cleaning stuff is fine. Cat litter I should probably fetch more - no problems getting that around here. I wonder if people aren’t worried about their houses smelling if they get ill? 🤣

About 50. Nothing to do with panic buying: DP likes an expensive one so I buy lots whenever it's on offer!

17, I buy a 16 pack whenever I get down to 2/3 rolls. A local supermarket has 16 rolls of andrex for £6.50. And as it is local people aren’t panic buying (thank god)

Loads, we have 3 loos with plenty of storage in each one so I tend to buy a large pack for each loo when it's getting low in that loo. I usually buy whatever is on special offer, often a 16 pack. I've also been keeping stock quite high anyway since Brexit deadlines started coming up as I'm pretty sure all of our loo roll is imported and it gets trucked across the UK before arriving in Ireland. So I would say that I haven't had less than two month's supply in the house for the last two or three years.

Sorry didn't answer the question though - actually 49 new rolls, plus one in use in each loo, and one in the car.

Three. But they are only for guests; we use family cloth.

Whoever said this thread was going to get competitive wasn't joking.

People in my areas clearly don't care I got a Tesco order today, everything on it except they subbed my own brand tinned tomatoes for the fancy napolina ones I never buy because they're too expensive. I bought our normal nine pack for the month/6 weeks because we had one roll left, bought lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, no issue.

I’ve got about 60, but haven’t bought any this year! I stocked up at the end of last year when they were on special offer, had over a hundred then. Also got a dozen antibacterial hand wash, in excess of a dozen jars of pasta sauce (as well as tinned tomatoes, passata etc.), over 12 kilos of pasta, 20 odd cans of tuna, 3/4 dozen cans of beans and 7/8 kilos of rice! I haven’t been out panic buying, I just always have large supplies of food in my house! Pretty sure I could feed myself, husband and son for several months if I had to! Only thing I would struggle with is lack of fresh milk!
