Where Can I Buy Toilet Paper?

I’ve run out and have been to 4 different Coles/ Woolies.

Seriously when do they expect to re stock it?

        • Our office has those huuuuge rolls that are one continuous sheet which you tear off by ripping against the teeth of the TP holder… you could probably tell who's hoarding TP just by listening to the rip, rip, rip… without any wipes going on.

          • @snackerjoe: Lol. Yep they’re just as bad.

          • @snackerjoe:

            just by listening to the rip, rip, rip… without any wipes going on.

            The greater crime is loitering around the toilet listening for the rip rip rip, wipe wipe wipe.

            • @cerealJay: Lol obviously there is no crime if you're sitting on the toilet yourself! Who's going to waste time hanging around in the toilet?

      • Coffee now too?

      We use that "who gives a crap" stuff at work, and it never seems to tear properly at the perforations.

      • +6

        Rip off!

      • +6

        Yes it's made in China junk.

        I don't know why anyone buys it when you can get quality made in Australia Quilton and donate to a charity of your choosing.

    • Who gives a crap have sold out of everything

    • Who Gives A Crap are sold out online. And yes. I was lucky to get a pack when Aldi were selling the special buy TP a week early because of the stock shortage.

  • +7

    Yep, empty shelves in my local Colesworths too. Bloody idiots.

      “One seller has tried his luck at a 24 pack of 3ply for $24,000” on 7 News

        The people are joking, attempting humour.

        There are many stupid adverts like this on gumtree and Facebook, some have single rolls for $1000.

  • +3

    Coles express have heaps, 20 rolls for $10. save 10cents of petrol/litre if you buy 2

    • Thanks I’ll check it out after work tomorrow

      • +8

        they open 24/7, better go now if it is urgent

  • +3

    Luckily I've stoked up

    • +1

      Do you want to maybe sell some to OP?

  • +1

    I find it hard to shuffle the few steps to replace the roll when I need it.

    I can't imagine what you have been through.

  • +2
    • +2

      We got a box of these for Xmas. Less than half way through them now, so should hopefully hold out until the backlog.

      • Heh. Puns…

    • They're running low now too apparently. Wtf is going on with tp?

    • +1

      They are out too now

  • +2

    Weirdly enough, there's plenty at my local. No one seems to be panic-buying.

    I knew someone when I was at uni who would carry a bottle of water with him whenever he went to the toilet. That could be an option if you can't find any tp. Or hop in the shower.

  • +2

    Just take a shower

    • For how long but will this shortage last.

      • get a $50 attachable bidet on amazon

  • +3

    Have you checked facebook for any deals such as this https://imgur.com/a/YpphSU8

    To visitors of my home - I don't have a square to spare. I can't spare a square.

    • +5

      What about 1 ply????

      • +4

        Look, I don't have a square and I don't have a ply.

  • Damn curious me self.

    Was wondering wtf are hkers doing when they started hoarding toilet papers in hk last month, seems like the same here now

  • +1

    Coles Broadway in NSW restocked for anyone around there

    • -1

      Would you pay 20% more?

    • +6

      It is packaged here.
      The packaging however is made in China.

    • +8

      AT LEAST YOU PROPERLY CAPITALIZED Australia OUT OF RESPECT

    • +1

      Haha, you sound like that funny old dude on Facebook who is always having a rant and a cigga.

    • +1

      The whole world has woken up to the (over) reliance on China now, I suspect a lot of manufacturers will start to insource locally or source elsewhere.

      • Hopefully, to avoid single points of failure like this. But the lure of saving money will be a hard addiction to break.

        • That's true, but the population must be educated that the cost of some things going up slightly will ensure a stronger economic system in Australia - one that is diversified and not reliant on 1 country.

  • +17

    You can always waffle stomp

  • What's the use by date on this stuff :p

  • +4

    Just recycle what you have used.
    Take it out the back, hang it up on the clothes line and smack the sh1t out of it.

    8am 4/03/2020: Woolies announced a restriction to 4 packs per customer for toilet paper. I bet others will follow suit. Looks like the $%^& got real!

    • +7

      surely they can restrict to 1 or 2… if you're buying a 24 pack, that lasts our household a few weeks at least!

      • +3

        Agree. 4 still seems too high

  • +3

    People still use toilet paper?

    • +16

      Where can we buy three seashells then?

      • +2

        Be well, John Kimble.

      • Kudos to you good sir. You predicted the joke I was provoking.

      • Bunnings still has plenty of stocks of sand papers

    • +2

      I use maybe 2-3 sheets per shit after using a bidet its mostly only to dry and get rid of the last of whats leftover

      • +13

        TMI

        Do you have any pics or vids? Asking for a mate.

        • +3

          Send me a DM

  • +7

    Strange how people think. I'd be more worried about food if I was worried about anything.

    • +2

      Yes. Even if the whole country went into lockdown, as long as the town water still flows you don't need toilet paper - it's just convenient. You need food - but you don't see people panic buying beans and pasta.

      • +4

        but you don't see people panic buying beans and pasta.

        I was shopping on Sunday and people were very much 'panic' buying bean and pasta, among many other things. Loads of stuff was sold out.

        There was no sense of panic though, just everyone calmly stocking up.

      • +1

        My local Coles had no canned goods or pasta when I went yesterday, was at peak hour though.

      • My Coles was stripped bare of rice, pasta, canned food, long life milk, flour, olive oil?, and Panadol

    • I was waiting for this to happen. And so it begins.

  • -1

    Should have stocked up last week.

  • Smart toilets; they spray your behind (and front) and has a heating dryer. Too bad it doesn't come with a PlayStation or TV.
    I actually got this a few years ago but I wouldn't be surprised if there will be a demand for it. Heavy price to set up though but it will last for years.

    • +2

      Nah, they have run out as well.

  • -1

    So we are talking to someone caught up in the alarmist hype … you don't need toilet paper… it is the least of your worry. If you were sick, you would not eat… and thus would not s**t.

    Educate yourself, stop being manipulated by the narrative thread of govt propaganda.

    • +1

      I don't think the gov said to hoard toilet paper

  • Not hoarding any stuff but we just buy bulky toiletries and detergents online and have it delivered from coles.

    • -2

      Australia government should make Hoarding an offence. Seriously, some of the garbage they kept is unreal.

  • Try Big W / Target etc. Was plenty at Big W but Coles was completely empty.

    You could always buy this at Bunnings… https://www.bunnings.com.au/scott-jumbo-toilet-tissue-roll-6…

    • -1

      I’m at work needs to be something open until 7pm and in stock!

      • Big w, target. Etc are open late and so is Bunnings..

  • +15

    I can't believe how stupid people are acting over this. The media really needs to stop with the fearmongering.

    • +2

      I agree. I blame Kochie.

      • +1

        kochie

        Damn seppos, dont forget murdoch.

    • +9

      Media is distracting from the numerous controversies and errors our government is involved in right now.

    • -3

      Don't worry, you'll eventually get it and die from it, as will I ….so you won't hear anymore of this news stuff in future….

  • Just search toilet paper on amazon, there's heaps on there and depending on how close you live to the city, can arrive in a day or max 2 days.

    • +1

      I take that back, plenty available but only from international order.

  • Ok this has gone real shitty now. My Aldi is empty. Staff said they restock in the mornings and they don't have a lot delivered. So I have to go back at 8am tomorrow. Freezers are also empty. Still have 2 rolls left lol

  • +4

    WHY do people need to hoard TP? Worst case, there's still water right? wash-cloth/paper/tissues?

    • have u ever tried washing paper and tissues before?

      • +1

        wash-cloth as in reuseable cloth, not washing it.
