How much toilet paper do you need?
If you have enough toilet paper to last you for two to four weeks, you should be fine.
Are you wondering how much toilet paper you use per week? A Today Show study calculated that a 4-person household would need about 17 double rolls, or about 9 mega rolls which should last about 2 weeks.
Most grocery stores are restocking first thing in the morning so that wil lbe your best chance to get the highest inventory.
Hand Santizer:
This shortage is planned to continue as purchases rose 470% over the same time as last year. But, don’t fret; you can easily makeyour own with just a few ingredients, aloe and alcohol.
Hand Sanitzer Recipe: Hand sanitizers and reusable sanitizing wipes
If you missed thie initial panic shopping & now are in need of essential grocery items, we put together a small list of local groceries & their current store hours.
Restocking is now occuring daily, or almost daily. Stores have adjusted their hours to allow employees to restock the shelves. Trucks usually arrive in the envening allowing for restocking all night & until stores open. But, plan to also see restockers during business hours to try to keep inventory as high as possible. In addition, Govenor Ducey has also approved brinign in the National Guard to help in the restocking effort.
Please keep in mind thart many retailers are suspending return of toilet paper and sanitizers to try to discourage panic hoarding.

Directions: Add the distilled water, rubbing alcohol, dish soap, and essential oils to your jar. Put the lid on and swirl or shake gently to mix.
Remove the lid and add your cleaning cloths to the jar. Keep adding them until the cleaning solution has absorbed into the cloths, then add one more for good measure.
Replace the lid on the jar, then turn it upside-down for a minute or so. And voila, your reusable cleaning wipes are ready to use!
Use your wipes to wipe down countertops, clean up spills, dust your baseboards, and more.
Collect your used wipes in a container, then when you’re ready to make another batch, just wash them with your laundry and reuse them
