So I Went To The Grocery Store Today..

jack daniels is for girly men. REAL men drink kentucky bourbon

Yep, people picking the orders are kids who never bought food for themselves, as a result they don't know where anything is.

It's only a service if the people tasked with pulling the orders know what they are doing.

I went to Target yesterday and heard some old Asian lady say "I can't live without alcohol".

Then you notice the neighbors just took off for Burger King. Hmmm . They even took the dog.

I can't live without drunk women

I’re just been and it was fine - plenty of everything.

Correct. The proof is in the pudding. That doesn’t please those who relish and obsess over “doom”, but then again only one thing pleases them.

Normalcy bias hitting a lot of blind people. Why do you think farmers, truckers, and oil workers are immune?

Why do you think the US has any money left?

You know the first shortage in Venezuela was toilet paper?

I shop at the commissary on base. they're overstocked into the aisles and offering megapack and volume discount deals on many products, encouraging people to stock up.

I would disconnect battery too.

the food of losers!

ALL GMO bullshit

if u need A1 you can't cook at all and your cut of steak is BULLSHIT!

The TP is still gone.

Cottonelle has a "share a square" promo going on through United Way. For every roll you buy, one is given to the needy through United Way. We are all needy! I don't know how to participate. I tried to go to their site but a big accept cookies thing came up and blocked the details.

One of the reasons to prep early is so when it peaks you're not shopping around people who might have it. The stores may still have stock.

Saw something on Facebook where the milk processing plants are limiting processing and they had to dump a full truck of raw milk in Florida.

I use Nextdoor Neighbor to locate items through neighbors. It's also useful to locate farm stores or small private grocery stores that have milk and eggs.

I also buy an extra 1/2 gallon of organic and/or ultra pasteurized milk that has a month long shelf like and store it in extra refrigerator. Butter lasts a long time, so when you do find it, can buy a limited extra amount.

My parents were preppers and used to freeze butter, sometimes milk (need to shake it well after if you do).

Margarine lasts a very long time too.

Can use vegetable oil and salt to fry eggs.
Can use olive oil with salt and pepper to dip bread or toast.

Lots of substitutes for butter if you google. Good luck!

Only drive thru at all the restaurants around here. I think it is so you won't steal the TP.

DOOM ALERT

The best week to go shopping is the 2nd. week of the month the first week of the month is when people get their social security money and when most of food stamps are given.

OP let me finish the sentence for you:

So I Went To The Grocery Store Today..

and then came home all g@y

There should be an abundance of food. Schools and colleges are closed, so they're not supplying them with food. Hotels, where once food was used, are closed. Airports aren't closed, but I'm assuming the traffic at airports are at a minimum. Restaurants are closed.

Where is that food? On the supermarket shelves. They just reported that food prices are dropping drastically.

Went yesterday for a few staples. Saw more masks and gloves than in previous days. Interesting to note the ages. The very young people (18 to mid 20s) no gloves no masks. The very old people (I mean OOOOLD) could give two fucks less either. No gloves no mask. But those between those ages, esp the women, acted like if you got within 10 feet of them they were gonna die right then and there. Could see their complete faces because of masks, but you could tell in their eyes a lot of fear and panic. People are out there living on edge.

And such is the unintended consequence of nebulous information. Cause fear then the unknown causes more. Story changing each minute. Its not conducive to us all getting this behind us.

Its the people that concern me. Not the virus. I really feel like a lot of people are so on the edge right now and just ready to be pushed over. I pray everyday the trucks keeps running, the stores stay open, and we can all as country look back on this one day and have accomplished something better for us all from it.

I believe in American resilience after all. Keeping everyone in my prayers. Hoax or not I really don't care. Whatever the reason. people's main suffering right now is the unknown. So be kind to your neighbors, and strangers. You never know what little ray of hope you might be for someone.

My roommate went last night for some beer here in central Florida. Said the Wally World had roped off lines with boxes on the floor to stand in 6 feet apart. Said there was almost no meat and the produce was picked over pretty well but otherwise just weird but people were dealing with it fine.

We don't buy groceries there, just booze lol. Publix and BJ's are pretty well stocked except for the TP which, for some reason, seems to still be in short supply.

I heard Charmin was changing their logo from please don't squeeze the Charmin to please don't steal the Charim and please don't hoard the Charmin.

Next time you go, will you grab me a pack of TP? We're almost out, and I can't find any here in Austin. I'll pay you back.

School buses here are going around delivering food to kids on the lunch program.

Groton, CT commissary: Limits signage on a few things last week. Haven't checked this week. Good stock. Only actual holders of IDs that are authorized directly to make a purchase through the door. Many, if not most, retirees (like myself) are over 65 and in the high risk group. Rover wipers in the store.

Still can't find TP, paper towels, sanitizer or clorox wipes, but as far as all the food, things are getting back to normal here in the Phoenix area. And I agree - doesn't feel so "panicky," much more relaxed.

I've been able to easily find milk (TONS of that now), eggs, canned goods, fresh meat. Honestly, it's been quite a relief the last few times I've gone.

Yes, and here in Mesa the snowbirds seem to be leaving early, esp the Canadians, means less people shopping

Where I live, everything seems fine too but, I think these

people have already 'prepped' and know this is not the time

to hide out.

Everyone seems normal.

Sure, some items are out, but they are still stocked up,

still baking and prepping food to go...I'm thankful

that people are decent here.
