We have morning senior hours at local grocery stores, to give the elders a chance to do their shopping without worrying about young whippersnapper super-spreaders not self-isolating and coughing over all the freshly laid out produce.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78691157


How many elders can get up at 4am to get to the store by 6am?

Anyone in a store today without a mask is asking for it.

If you don't have a mask, wear a scarf or rip a piece from a sheet.

Re: Trip to the grocery store today not good
yup it started last weekend

gas bars allowing only one at a time in the booth
using the mag-lock to prevent entry

grocery stores limiting the number of people inside
locking all but one entrance

Enough to clean out the scarce supplies before anyone else gets a crack at it and then they come out to the one store that has a twice weekly early hour for essential workers and try their best to clean it out then too. And give you dirty looks because you're in the store during their hour.

Re: Trip to the grocery store today not good
This morning around 10 am, I went to a local midwest walmart where we have both COVID cases and deaths in our county. The store was well stocked even after payday and TP was no longer being limited. There was a sale for a generic brand TP at 4 rolls for 68 cents. I saw no hoarding.

The store was not busy, but had a steady low stream of customers. People kept their distances from each other and the floors are marked every six feet at the checkouts. We have early shopping from 7 am to 8 am for the elderly and immunocompromised.

To be honest, the stores have been better stocked with some things than before this crisis. Stuff that was often slow to restock before COVID has been on the shelfs and in greater quantities. I see no need to shop online because deliveries take much longer than usual. I havent seen across the board increases and the stuff i buy is the exact same price or on sale for less, like the 4 roll TP.

Chicken and eggs seem to be consistently lower in stock than usual, as well as paper products, cleaning supplies.

Non food items arent really selling at all. Their dedicated shelves are stocked full of easter crap, and other spring stuff that is just wasting space.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78689127


I'm really surprised at that, this is a good time to be getting other stuff while people are worried about TP, paper towels and shelf stable food. I've been strolling through the outdoors section getting buys on clearance fishing supplies, going through the garden section getting my seeds. Grabbing some pool shock now that it's been put out. Almost have all of my gasoline cans full. (please let someone put gas cans on clearance...)

Maybe I complain about the shortages that everyone is seeing but I am adapting to other solutions and taking advantage of opportunities when they present themselves.

Pretty sure that rummage sale season is gonna suck this year so I'm hoping to build on what I have with the stuff that people are overlooking.

Yes. I got there today at 7:05 (they opened at 7:00). I had to wait for 25 minutes in a line because they had already let 100 people in and wouldnt let anyone else in until someone came out. Denver metro.

Academy sports had a line outside last week with taped lines every 6ft on the sidewalk outside the store. When one person leaves they let one person enter. Only 25 people were aloud in the store at one time. I actually got the type of shotgun shells I've been trying to get.

Maybe better to pick it up on the first go round than to wait on the second and third waves which can be worse. Especially if you are young and healthy. Most hospitals aren’t jam packed yet either if you have some complications.

Re: Trip to the grocery store today not good
It seemed to be getting better last week but this week it is clearly worse. Laundry detergent is being stocked where the disinfectant cleaner is supposed to be. Not only are the TP and paper towels completely empty but so are paper plates and bowls. Canned soup, rice, beans, instant mashed potatoes and a litany of other storable foods are either well picked over or completely gone. Shoot, it's hard to get tortillas unless you know where to look.

And the price of eggs is exploding. Paid $.79/dozen for large eggs at the beginning of the week, now it's $2.17 if you can find them.

Tape on the floor everywhere, plexiglass screens everywhere. The only thing that I haven't seen (yet) is a limit on customers at any one time.

I’ve noticed eggs are always expensive around Easter. Maybe they will get cheaper after it is over.
