Trigger Mike 1,135 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 My local gun store started selling toilet paper during the pandemic. Since toilet paper is going up due to inflation, I'm thinking of taking some ammo and see if they will trade for a case of toilet paper. Since I bought my ammo long ago, it'd be like getting my toilet paper for less than current market price. I'm thinking of starting out with 30 carbine or MAYBE a box of 9mm.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 7,486 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 The current value of your 30 carbine might be higher than the TP. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Mike 1,135 Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Probably. I might instead trade a bunch of ammo for a pistol and ask them to throw in the toilet paper. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just bought two large bottles (two-pack) of Heinz at Safeway. I guess the shortage has not hit Amador County yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Mike 1,135 Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 (edited) I found a box of 9mm by sellier and bellot I will take to see what they will give me. My sig shaves metal when chambering that brand plus the primers seem harder than winchester. I'm wanting to save cash since everything is pricing higher lately.

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 28,105 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 The ketchup shortage is for ketchup packets, not bottles. The packaging companies are way behind. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 908 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 You waited too long to trade. The Wall Street Journal reports Americans have a surplus of TP. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Mike 1,135 Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 I saw that. The other day Kimberly clarke said they are raising the price of their paper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
