Anyone else worried about fall supplies?

[tvguy]

Again, one must question anything the facts don't support.

Huh? Stop yanking my chain.

Not Wednesday this week. And not without being severely price-gouged:
7/13-7/16 total $16.98, or almost 30 cents per wipe.
https://www.amazon.com/Lysol-192008...child=1&keywords=Lysol&qid=1593461111&sr=8-18 or
7/9-7/14 $16.99 for about 68 cents per ounce https://www.amazon.com/Reckitt-Bath...child=1&keywords=Lysol&qid=1593461111&sr=8-20 or
7/16-7/19 for about 35 cents per sheet including $12.99 shipping https://www.amazon.com/Lysol-Disinf...child=1&keywords=Lysol&qid=1593461111&sr=8-21 or 7/9-7/14 with the same costs as the previous link https://www.amazon.com/Brand-Lemon-...child=1&keywords=Lysol&qid=1593461111&sr=8-26

So since your neighbor can order and have it delivered [this coming] Wednesday, would you please ask them to? And post a photograph.

Well, I was wrong. I walked next door, if he orders by 8 pm tonight he can have it by tomorrow.

EDIT: $13.99. Non-Prime member. Delivery by 7/3. But we have a HUGE Amazon warehouse here. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002LCZ6O/ref=dp_olp_1

Dollar General, out here in the boonies, is the place we have found everything in question here. It seems so many of you are looking at Amazon, Costco and Walmart, which are frequently out of all this stuff. Dollar General even had TP at the height of the TP crisis. It was only one brand at a time, but that's all a person needs.

I'd bet if I went right now I'd find Lysol wipes, or some similar brand.

 

[monsterkitty]

Or order it on Amazon. With Prime you'll have it by Wednesday according to my neighbor

I just put "Clorox Wipes" in the search engine on Amazon Prime. This is what came up:

No results for Clorox wipes.
Try checking your spelling or use more general terms

The at school the Fire Marshall only allows Clorox brand for wipes and Purell for hand sanitizer. You can't buy any of that here.

I finally found hand soap at Target but limit to 1. It felt like Christmas when I carefully place that in my cart and hiding it under a bag of chips.

No sprays or wipes of any brand. People have been using dish soap for cleaning so that is also hard to find. Target had no toilet paper again yesterday when I was there.

The school I taught at and in which my DH still does is in a food desert. The only places people can shop there are Dollar General and Dollar Tree. Those stores are still empty of cleaning supplies. As are the ones in my area that we live.

I am VERY thankful that is not the case in our area. I went to Walmart today, for my monthly shopping. If I had known this thread was here, I would have taken photos. Even though Walmart was short of things for a few months, they are fully stocked now.

There was nothing that wasn't plentiful. I bought a refill size of antibacterial hand soap and a 20 pack of Scott TP. I could have had any brand I wanted, the aisle was full. I seriously had no idea that some places are still running short of soap, TP, or cleaning products.

In case anyone was wondering, I live near Branford, FL.

ETA: I also bought hand sanitizer today. I only bought one because it was $4 a bottle, but they had an entire end cap of it.

Your county has a population of 44,000.

My town is 70,000 with several close surrounding communities.

There are 3 Dollar Generals within 5 miles of my house.

1 time I lucked up at the right time mid day and scored 2 tubs of wipes.

The Dollar General closest to me is across the street from an apartment complex. It's always quite busy.

Huh? Stop yanking my chain.

At least one thread a week you get caught telling untruths and won't admit a thing.

A little humility would go a ways with several posters.

 

[bavaria]

Fun fact. I paid for my toilet paper with my bank card. I just hold it near the payment machine, no manual entry of the pin number required. I can use it to pay that way in many countries across Europe, and in Canada. Just a fun fact

 

[FigmentSpark]

OK, went to Von's today. My Just4U membership says we have a "special price" for Lysol disinfecting wipes (good until 6/30). Guess what, the shelves where such things are stocked = totally empty. Not a one, of any brand.

Guess that's one way to keep the customer happy = give them a special price. The fact that they don't have the product, oh well.....

Isn't that illegal... unless they give you a raincheck?

 

[jo-jo]

For months, several stores by us have stopped issuing rainchecks .

Available in the US, too.

Right after the pandemic started our bank card company sent these cards to us.

Just mentioned it since 'bank cards in Europe and pin numbers' seems to be a favoured topic on the DIS We've had those for years and years, not a new thing... Just a fun fact I felt the need to share!

 

[PrincessShmoo]

As long as they say "supplies limited" I believe they can get away with it. When I saw the offer, my first thought was "like they really have disinfecting wipes?"

The U.S. has had chip cards (signature and/or PIN enabled) but it's a slow roll out and not all machines were enabled.

We have tap-pay now as well also a slow roll out and not all machines are enabled. Tap pay is where you just 'tap' the card on the corresponding icon thus not touching the machine or having to enter a PIN.

When they were introduced for chip many financial institutions just waited until expiration dates, sometimes certain transactions on the account (like changes in name or type of account) would trigger a new updated card to be sent, sometimes it went down the list of types of account, etc.

I have a joint checking, a checking account and a credit card all with the same bank. My joint check and my checking account are chip enabled and tap pay enabled, my credit card is only chip enabled. I suspect when the CC expires they will send me a tap pay enabled one as well. My husband has a SWA CC (I'm an authorized user and get a card as well) and we got new tap pay enabled cards in early March (years ahead of our expiration date). My husband has an AMEX Skymiles card and his was chip-enabled several years before any of the other cards made it to chip enabled.

We're just slllowww here

"Currently unavailable."

 

[bavaria]

It's ok thanks, it was just a beloved topic of debate on the DIS a decade ago ie telling us how we should be using our cards outside the US I'm perfectly fine waving mine, and I don't need a chip number. But thanks! It does make it easier during the pandemic though.

And fun fact if anyone ever goes to Sweden - cash really not required or even accepted there, even prepandemic.

our dollar store in the best of times never carried name brand disinfecting wipes. they had some off brand that was 10 or 15 wipes per container but i haven't seen them in months. they DID recently get restocked on germx in the 2 oz bottles. i grabbed a couple so we can have 1 in each car. i managed to find some wet ones (20 packs) a month or so ago just by chance b/c i went to our little hole in the wall pharmacy that happened to get a couple of dozen out of the blue. i keep one in each car so if we go into a store and they don't clearly indicate that they are sanitizing carts/don't have a dispenser of wipes to self sanitize a cart-i can do it on my own (i've gotten pretty adept at tearing wet ones in half to make a 20 pack last twice as long, same with household disinfecting wipes).
