If not, I'll be cutting up newspapers. No, I won't throw them down the loo but into the bin. Unlike most, I haven't been panic buying. If I had done, loo roll would have been the last item I'd have thought of: food would take priority.
What goes in, must come out! I didn't buy any additional TP because I already had plenty. The only thing that I stocked up on was cat food, everything else I already had. I generally keep my pantry full and rotate the boxes. I also have a small chest freezer, same deal with various meats in that. At one time, it was a pretty common thing to do around here.
