Are you a little worried about your bathroom supplies as you look at photos of empty store shelves lately?
Well, never fear 鈥� your neighbours probably have you covered.
A plethora of posts selling toilet paper have popped up on Facebook and Craigslist in the past few days. Whether a joke or people attempting to capitalize on fears of COVID-19, they鈥檝e sparked discussion all over social media.
One Craigslist ad from Richmond offered 鈥渙ne almost full roll of toilet paper鈥� for $100.
The post, picture above at left, advertised the roll as 鈥渉ard to find!!鈥� and 鈥渟old out everywhere!鈥�
If you鈥檙e on a bit more of a budget, a Costco reseller in Downtown Vancouver has you covered at just $80 for 30 rolls. The deal works out to just $2.66 a roll, which is a distinct markup but better than $100.
If you鈥檙e out in the 鈥榖urbs, perhaps a $5 roll of toilet paper is more your style? And if you鈥檙e feeling ritzy, you can get an individually packaged one for $10, both in an Abbotsford 鈥渂idding wars鈥� group.

鈥淜eep your goat safe, donkeys, pigs, horses and basically any farm animals, free from the deadly corona virus,鈥� the post said. See-through ones are an additional $5.
Are you out of hand sanitizer? A seller in Richmond is offering a $15 bottle of Purell hand sanitizer.
And despite many warnings from health officials, a plethora of face masks are available, ranging from $1 to at over $100.
