User ID: 68199120 United States02/22/2020 11:49 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We saw our usual cashier at the grocery store this morning, and she told us that it had been an unusual day - a lot of people were coming through with carts FULL of stuff, and multiples of items, like 8 of this, 10 of that. Quoting: Blue_Triquetra It came up because a lady 2 people ahead of us had a huge cart full, and I mentioned it. Our cashier said "yeah, it's been like that this morning, people stocking up like it's the end of the world or something."  I mentioned "maybe it's the Coronavirus," and she said she didn't know about that. Just thought it was interesting, and I'd pass it on. We see her every Saturday morning for years now, she's never said anything like that before.  Interesting, thanks for sharing. A couple of days ago in California in one grocery store I saw a bunch of people with carts full of toilet paper and water and canned foods. One woman had about 100 cans in her cart. I've been slowly prepping for a month and have been going to the store often and this is the first time I've noticed people doing this. The masses are starting to catch on. Not in my area. I look around in the supermarket and I seem to be the only one buying in bulk. People here are clueless. Suburb of NYC. No surprise It’s New York... “Wachoo worried ‘bout, bro? Duh Gubment will provide us!” |

User ID: 76819314 United States02/22/2020 11:50 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nothing like intense emptying of shelves here, but it's not a Big City. One finds, in fact, that Saturday morning is a great time to get the bargains, around 8:15, or fifteen minutes after the "rest of the staff" has arrived. The morning after Friday night (finally, sleep in tomorrow). Sunday morning is good, too, but you might hit the before church crowd. No "before" crowd on Saturday. Organic clearance was in the basket. Buy the produce and learn how to preserve it by drying or fermentation for later if you've skipped out on canning (also on clearance; pectin last week). |

And they CAN'T buy 3 months worth. And maybe they're worried, but they can't show it because they are trying to be brave. Sometimes you have to face what's coming. Preparing is fine. You should always prepare. Maybe they've done all they can do. And are just trying to maintain. Especially if they have kids.

User ID: 77927596 United States02/23/2020 12:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People don't know how to prep shop! Quoting: Mental Case You don't buy 10 gallons of bleach...you buy a gallon every time you go...or 2 pounds of pasta every time. You also get perishables along with non-perishables (bananas, eggs, stuff you will use). Don't make it obvious. But now that we're running out of time it will get VERY obvious! Agreed, been buying up tuna for the last month. Everytime I go in there I get 3 cans of Tuna. Up to like 50 with so many packs of hot dogs.. going to be sick of this combo. I hope you got the Tuna caught on the East coast. All that Tuna from the West coast is radioactive from Fukushima... I've checked it out using a Geiger Counter. You should have one in your preps... |

I think it is very suspicious that we both had manager overrides. Mine happened about 2 weeks ago, when I purchased disinfecting bleach. Just wanted to mention about hand sanitizer. Don't get the Walmart brand, it's less than 70% alcohol... |

I just mentioned I was buying for a huge family reunion coming up soon. The cashier was all smiles. |

Just the way she said it, I could tell it was truly something unusual to her - like she was taken aback. And then, when she threw in the "like it's the end of the world" - coming from her, it was very startling to me, considering what's been going on in the world recently. I'm catching up on the last 4 pages. Last I saw was my "$3.50" comment lol. |
