In Maryland, the 4 stores I regularly go to do not have any TP or paper towels or napkins and only a few boxes of kleenex. It obvious to me that if people cant find TP they are improvising with their next choice of wipe, paper towels or napkins.

OK - ran to the store for odds and ends. The Pillsbury Crescent Rolls in a tube were almost all sold out. I caught Kevin staring at the display and I had to remind him that we don't buy/eat those in our normal lives why would you get them now and he said 'but...they're almost all gone'

So sort of related - we are seeing a lot of local restaurants offering special "to go" meal options .... anyone seeing anything super unique there?

One near us is offering a free bottle of wine with the purchase of two entrees

Its now only drive thru, takeout, and delivery options. Dh did drive thru to treat me a shamrock shake and chicken nuggets for dinner (used salad at home to supplement).

He got the last 2% milk and a 4 pack of name brand tp. He has the luck of the Irish today.

No eggs, frozen pizza, or potatoes. Cleaning supplies gone as well. Plenty of alcohol though, people have their priorities wrong

Here in Utah we just had a 5.7 earthquake and now smaller ones coming in aftershocks, we will probably have aftershocks throughout the day.

But the first thing everyone said was, thank god we all have this TP!

Hope no serous damage, or injuries!

In my area, All fresh meats seem to be sold out at multiple stores except for pork. Shelves are pretty much empty of entire sections of food. As someone who doesn’t get worried about hoarding, it’s still sad to see people loading their carts with large multiples of items when other shoppers are missing out on essentials now that shelves are empty

No looks like all is going to be fine, though I think it just had crappy timing.

I have noticed that any of the cheaper items were sold out just not the more expensive, for instance, all the mt olive pickles were wiped clean but not the gringo pickles (the ones I buy) I also noticed roast beef from oscar mayer was wiped out buttons of the chicken or turkey, also the fruits and veggies were easy to get but the canned version wiped out. Same thing with bread the Publix brand was plentiful for a buck more but the cheaper stuff again wiped out. Maybe im a food snob typing this out.

I posted this on another thread, but this was all week long here in nj, from a wallmart, stop and shop and lidel supermarkets.

 

[Sjm9911]

Oh and they were food isles, not tp or sanitizer.

Our local stores are starting to get stuff back in. My daughter works at a grocery store and said that she snagged us some Charmin TP. They are limiting sales to 1 package per person. We were able to get some emergency Scott's TP and that stuff is like sand paper. IDK how they are still in business. LOL

Water. In any container. We currently can't drink our well water, so I have to buy bottled water. In the past I've been buying the large 5 gallon bottles, several at a time because with 6 people and 5 animals we go through a lot of water. And we are not soda or juice drinkers.

I went to the store two days ago and it was cleared out. I had to go to 3 stores just to get a few gallons, which will not last long. I'm going to ask my employer on Monday if I can fill a few of the gallon containers from the tap at work. Ugh! I don't understand why there's such a rush on water. Aside from my 3 neighbors, everyone else can drink their water. And most in my area don't even have wells.

Also, they were completely out of Doritos and regular oreos. I guess with school closings here everyone bought junk food???

Could you boil the tap water? My son got us a water filter for Christmas. It's the kind you screw into the faucet. I think he got it at Home Depot.
As far as the Oreos and Doritos totally feel your pain.
