I use a lot more sheets of the "non-cushy" stuff so I think it breaks down to
about 1.5 roles of non-cushy to cushy.
My butt is worth it.

Having 8 kids, one foster kid and one future son in law all in the house at
the same time, TP was an issue.
We started using the scott tissue that has much more footage per roll years
ago. It is not made for comfort. But you sure do get good mileage.
Now that the kids have moved on, we still use it. The cushy stuff just does
not last long enough.

Hard to compare price on TP. There’s 3 sizes of rolls, 1,2 or 3 ply, extra
soft and extra strong.
And BTW, the landlord at our office bldg. told me he had people stealing all
the TP from some of their bldgs. And commercial TP is not the premium stuff.

Near here, people were flipping out that a local place charged $12 for TP
when Walmart only charged $6. Um, that's kind of how things work when you
compare scale vs. no scale.

The Walmart grocery area here was picked clean, but smaller corner grocery
store has everything except TP and certain cleaning products. Super weird.
It's like people forgot the other grocery store existed.
I also read a post on Quora last night. It was middle eastern man living in
Arizona and he said something to the effect of, "It's adorable that Americans
are more worried about wiping their asses than whether they have something to
shit out in the first place. It's clear you've never had any serious troubles
here."

The store I went to still had potatoes. I’m always amazed that you can buy
nice big baking potatoes for 49 to 99 cents per pound. Easiest thing in the
world to bake, just stick them on the oven rack for an hour. Even better than
bananas because you can eat the skin. And you can put some of your bacon on
them!
I don’t see how anybody makes money selling potatoes, it has to be a loss
leader.

I went by the meat shop today, father in law is offering a side of beef,
who am I to say no.
They're 2 weeks out on packages
They're always 2 weeks out on packages
I guess the hoarders think retail packaging and prices are better for
survival than white paper wrapped fresh killed cow that is a 1/4 cheaper

I went to a Raley's last night for kicks and there was nothing: no
eggs,
no dairy, no canned goods, no frozen foods, no breads, no condiments,
no
paper goods (towels, napkins, TP, etc.), no cleaning products, no
baking
staples like flour, not even jello. They did have plenty of fresh
produce but not potatoes. No lines to check out so I bought ice
cream,
chips, and reeses. Bakery and deli counters had normal supply, but
all
self serve things were pulled with notices to ask (i.e. donuts). Bulk
bins section was mostly untouched.
A store near me this morning was similar but the hoarders made the
line
wrap around the inside of the store so I walked out rather than wait
forever to buy literally two items I can wait to get later (bread
flour
and powdered milk for my bread machine). A local butcher shop was
cleaned out within 10 minutes of opening except for bacon. All the
liquor aisles were fully stocked though.
The takeaway here is if you need bacon and hard liquor you're good to
go.
