so I'm standing in the checkout buying some vittles, notice the couple behind me has a WHOLE cart of kotexas, they start stacking them on the counter, i was watching cause I was wondering how high she could actually stack them before physics kicked in, then I thought what the heck would anybody need a whole cart of kotexas? Then I heard the woman talking on the phone.. she was speaking Japanese.......I need the rethink my SHTF stash.

If you are planning for a SHTF scenario, you need to plan for everything you possibly can. You needs supplies for any females, kids, and or pets. This does not only mean food, water and ammo but also personal hygiene, any meds anyone in your household might take, etc, etc. You will learn very quickly how important even toilet paper can be if you ever run out an accidentally wipe with poison ivy.

Yes I know someone that did and you would not believe how much TP she keeps stocked. :D

I was in management at the Crest in Moore for 6 years, the lady you saw was most likely a vendor that owns/runs a convient store, and she is buying them to resale at her store. It is not uncommon for them to buy a large quantity of things

Saw a similar scenario at WM today. A guy with 3 shopping carts full of beer in 12 packs and a 4th full of microwave pizzas. Figured he was having a party or something, until I heard him mention that he was buying beer for his bar West of Cement. Seemed odd to me that someone would pay retail until I recalled that the bar in question was the one where a guy got his throat slashed last year and they lost their liquor license.

Now that is funny, I'm not sure what the plural form of "kotex" is, but "ko texas" makes me laugh....

And my coworkers laugh at me for having sealed rolls of toilet paper, soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste... they call me paranoid.
