Im getting tuna (imported), dried fruit, chocolate for baking and vanilla.
Every day of strike is like a week to resolve all the piled up ships.
So once warehoused things are gone. Thats it.

How much toilet paper do they need? They are less than 1% of the regular consumable toilet paper use.

So annoying, but people will probably realize that TP is produced domestically and this will blow over quickly. Actual imported goods, on the other hand, are going to be a problem.

We’ve done this before, we will be fine!

I’m actually a little worried about clothes, to be honest. I might panic buy some winter essentials for my kids. They don’t fit into anything from last year and I’ve been waiting.

I decided this time around I'm not going to stress any tp shortages. We'll just use some type of rag remnants or something. I'm over panicking about anything.

DH and I were discussing this yesterday. We aren't concerned with there being actual disruptions to distribution but concerned with panic buying.

Apparently people are panic buying and hoarding it now, because of the port issue? We don’t import paper through ports. Anyway…

Stopped at Target to normal-purchase TP and the lady at the register filled me in.
