Plushi Paper

In the never ending search for toilet paper, one needs to be creative or look at items that were never on the radar screen. Since we haven’t left the house since March 13, we are dependent on grocery delivery and Amazon - like thousands of others. And if we are using these services, so are thousands of others. Every time we added toilet paper to the list, it was never delivered - the same for hand sanitizer, soap, and drano. Everything is out of stock. Luckily we had enough toilet paper to last a couple of more weeks. Nevertheless, the search intensified. It seems my daily routine - like everyone else - is scoring delivery times on Instacart and others and searching amazon for the rare opportunities when a product becomes available. We even opened another Costco membership thinking that would help - but it didn’t. So I got a couple of travel toilet paper rolls - the kind one might take camping or traveling. Then I came across a product called Plushi Paper. It had good reviews for the most part. It’s toilet paper in a large Kleenex box that comes in a container that holds the box and can be placed on the toilet paper roll hanger. It’s meant for people who can’t easily tear off the paper - like young children or seniors - or for RV’s, etc. So I ordered some. It came with four boxes and seems like it will work. For now, I’ve stored it in the cabinet and it’s there if the other stuff runs out. Luckily Wegman’s finally delivered and I’ve had luck with Amazon. A while back we inadvertently ordered a large number of paper by mistake and it lasted a long time. But that was when it wasn’t a hassle to get it on the weekly grocery store trips. How things have changed.
