๐ถIt's all about the money money...๐ถ
Follow the money and it will lead you to a treasure.
Apparently, toilet paper is the new gold again. After rapeseed and sunflower oil have not been available for weeks, yes I live in Germany, my neighbor told me that toilet paper is now also affected.
I made a small inventory of my stock and realized with horror that this amounted to amazing 5 rolls. Five rolls equal a couple weeks usage if Joy isn't in throw up mode. The situation reminded me of Corona in the early days, dammit, I was the only one who ran out of toilet paper during that time.
Now the horror scenario again! Empty shelves!
What to do, what to do?
Not only will I run out of supplies in the near future, if I want to buy toilet paper I either have to get up extremely early and storm the shops with the crowds, or I wait and get nothing.
Thinking thinking thinking...I guess I will try my luck later.
Besides a shortage I face the danger of going broke purchasing the gold of civilization. Inflation is kicking ass juuust a little bit. Really, seven plus percent in March? Hurts only like a scorpion sting.
So I wonder what I will have to pay if I get some. Like a trillionbillionmillion โฌ?
What is the fascination with this buttocks pampering paper? People jump on it like there is no tomorrow. I mean I get it. You wanna pamper your butt. Fluffy paper promising that you don't grind your ass off. A natural structure, there are leaves on it, promises infinite cleaning. Mankind's greatest invention. World changing. Toilet paper.
Stock it, it's fine. But for god's sake leave some for those who don't fear that running out of toilet paper would be the main issue when it comes to a real emergency. There are people stocking for years it seems. I need to figure out the benefits if one owns a ton of toilet paper.
Today I will hit the supermarket. I expect empty shelves and inflation greeting friendly while the miracle sliding doors open to a place where you can buy not everything anymore.
Great times we live in but I'm prepared. My money is worth some shit-rolls!
Hey funny thought, what about a TP token? Toilet paper is the new gold remember ๐

Great post, and superb photos. Sounds like you have the same problem over there that we get over here... it's not so much that there's a shortage of anything, it's mostly just that people are jerks!
Hey, for sure, some are jerks, some are dumb, some are reactive.
I get that a lot of ppl are hoarding right now. It's a simple math, if 100.000 plus citizens in my area get told to have a stash for at least 2 weeks, it is obvious that we run out of necessary goods, because everyone is stashing at the same time. Plus, inflation is really big here and the stores announced another raise in prices on Monday. It is just crazy. Some goods, like oil, are literally not available anymore. If, it gets rationalized by some stores. Just like flour, sugar etc.
Germany is facing some real shitty times, and I'm not kidding. Corona and the war have unveiled the issues this country are facing because of 16 years Merkel politics. We are seriously not in a good state with nothing anymore.
Me on my way to the supermarket.
I'm shocked to be honest. There's no shortage of anything here. Inflation is real here too, but after the first few days of panic buying, especially cooking oil and gas, things got back to normal now.
My brother was in Germany when Covid started (March 2020, he flew home with the last plane) and I remember telling me about the shortages there. .
This is not good! Sending you toilet paper ๐
๐ pay me in rolls. There is sort of panic buying here as well. But I get it a bit. On Monday the big stores will raise prices again. Announced yesterday. Prices explode. I feel like back in the East German days, at least I'm used to shortages ๐ .
I would if I could but shipping would cost me an arm and a leg ๐ข
I guess it would be wise to buy some on Monday, to have a couple of extra packs.
Lol, if someone ever has to send me tp something is terribly wrong ๐.
Single ply for the single gal is the way I roll. Heh. Heh. Heh. ๐
Your money is soooooo much prettier than mine.
Lol, yours is a classic ๐ . Funny thing, I went a bit grocery shopping yesterday and forgot to look for tp. Damn post covid ๐
Just water hose it, I don't get the deal with TP anyway.
Good form, @bulldog-joy!
I have a forest in front of my door. I might just use leaves and pines. Thanks for the valuable hint though @amirtheawesome1 ๐ฝ๐ฉ๐ฟ๐
Gonna have to use the socks. I don't see another solution. Ooooooor invest in a good load of cheese to see if the guts clog.
I never thought toilet paper would be so valuable. Imagine a shortage on water.๐
I'd definitely buy any shitcoin backed up by a TP token. Hundreds of years of usecases for it to fail.
