I wonder if all of the ones hoarding toilet paper have managed to use up their stash yet.

I don't know about that, but I do know I grabbed basically a lifetime supply of hand sanitizer a year or so ago because the grocery store was so overstocked they were giving them away for free, LOL.

Yup! One in my town was passing out free wipes for over a year.

Nope. Still good for a few years.

But that's because I always buy toilet paper and paper towels at Costco, and buy more when I'm down to two cases.

Two is one, one is none.
