Same here. I didn't even know there was a shortage going on until today. I thought it was due a timely gift card sale. Anyway, stocked up on our regular quantity of TP, paper towels and Kleenex today. Told Mom that she should probably go back to using the hankies that I kept from my late Dad to save on Kleenex when at home. She sneered.
I'm trying to change my mother's habit of sending me out on errands every single day, so that is the only good thing about this virus thing going on. The more times I go out, the more likely I will bring 'something' home or be sick and then she will have to run the errands. It's not that I don't mind going out for errands, but it burns my morning which is my most productive time. There's just no reason for this to be a daily function - twice a week will do. And NEVER on the weekend - let the working folks have that time. Plus (whine here) I really miss my relaxing second cup of coffee.
