Just wait till next weekend.

Supposedly, (this is un-verified 'chan' rumor) next Thursday February 27th, there's going to be a major announcement by the federal government about the Coronavirus:

This is when the Federal government comes clean to the public, and declares it a 'pandemic'.

Included are more travel restrictions, cancellations of non-essential large events (like concerts and sporting events) and rationing of certain 'hoardable' items.

That's when the panic-buying will really set in.

Did anyone save the link or screengrab it? I would like to see it. Specifically the hoardable items part.

Well, it is nice of them to wait until after Mardi Gras is over.

Seriously, do your prep shopping in small batches, at different stores, so you don't trigger anybody.

At this point I would bring a pocket full of cash with you.

Try a credit card...try a check...but if both fail you will have cash to pay with.

With any luck you wont need to use the cash...but just in case!

Re: INTEL - grocery store cashier
And nothing looked funky in the store, no empty shelves, nothing like that. So for all the people saying "I went shopping today at --- and everything was fine," it was there at Fry's too. I'm just passing along what she said because it struck me as unusual.

And I don't think she knew about the Coronavirus at all, or if she did, she didn't make any connection - just shrugged it off when I mentioned it - which made the "end of the world" comment that much more interesting.

Although something I have noticed, even caught it today a bit when we were at the mall, is that stores that were normally so packed with crap that they are hard to walk though seem less packed, if that makes sense. To someone who isn't observant, they probably wouldn't know anything is different. And not like things have been cleaned off the shelves or anything - just like more space between shelves. I noticed it at Fry's, and later at Barnes and Noble and Kohl's too. Could be totally unrelated, but it was noticeable to me.

Any GLP'r around should have been stocked and prepped for years now for just such an event.
 Quoting: Sodbuster


I have been prepping since 1999 and I just bought another 100 pounds of beans and oats today. Monday I will hit Costco for a couple of 25# bags of rice and more cases of pasta and a few gallons of olive oil. Just ordered $100 worth of White Cloud toilet paper from WalMart online.

Now that we know IT is actually here, it seems stupid to have $2,000 worth of credit left on my credit card. This is serious-as-a-heart-attack level doom, and God knows how many relatives might show up in my Idaho home. I am turning a piece of plastic into life giving food.
 Quoting: Windsage


That’s and interesting thought that I hadn’t considered. I’ve got about $20K of credit limit available. And I had been considering how much silver I’m willing to sell. I guess I don’t need to sell any silver after all.
 Quoting: Deplorable Moraniac


Definitely KEEP the SILVER! It could be worth a small fortune when the global economy goes "pear shaped"!

Doing the same. Preps are going on the card.

Re: INTEL - grocery store cashier
I went to Walmart and Whole Foods today to pick up the things I forgot to order or couldn’t get delivered. They were both more crowded than usual, but not crazy. Walmart seemed to be stocked normally, but Whole Foods was low on some things.

I got the very last bag of WF brand organic flour, which is a shame, because I wanted more. There were some shelves clear in the baking isle, but it was crowded, so I couldn’t get close enough to see what was missing. They were almost out of the miyokos fake butter. Pretty much everything else seemed to be in good supply still.

I’m getting antsy, because the reusable masks with replaceable filters I ordered last week haven’t shipped yet.

Re: INTEL - grocery store cashier
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.

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."

wtf 10

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.

damned
 Quoting: Blue_Triquetra


Funny story, I was at Costco, and I was prepping not going to lie, but I wasn’t buying anything too crazy. Maybe the most I was purchasing was canned food and dried foods. Then during check out, when I swiped my rubbing alcohol, the self check out froze and required manager override. As the technician came over to me to call for a manager, he talked to me for a minute saying this has been put into place by corporate. As It turns out that they had Received orders to freeze transactions when the system detects hoarding to avoid clearing the shelves. Interesting.

I always check the camping section at big stores- nearly wiped out a walmart in ri & one over border in mass. Camp stoves, dried food, lanterns & much more... with signs that read "out of stock, no reordering ". This was 2 wks ago. Nobodys going camping in northeast right now.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77671860


That's because we are selling last year's camping stuff on clearance ...new camping stock arriving soon.
 Quoting: Halfbreedgal 72920432


You might not be getting new camping stuff if they are not shipping anything from China now. But it could already be in the USA. We will see.

Re: INTEL - grocery store cashier
People don't know how to prep shop!

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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76704222


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...

What brand Tuna is caught on the East Coast? I'd like
to know that.

East Coast Tuna.
