I popped into Walmart neighborhood market this morning (groceries only) figured I would get there at 6:00 when they opened to around the masses WELL there was a line at least 2 blocks long of people waiting to get in!!…Drove right by and came home this has become ridiculous utterly ridiculous I hope EVERY damn journalist comes down with this and is in bed for 2 weeks, I really wish they would ALL DROP DEAD but that is to much to ask for!!!
I offered to buy one for my husband. He rejected the idea for some reason.
The local Aldi had plenty of K-cups this morning (with their own brand of coffee, of course).
“Hows about a pat on the back to those of us who were already prepared and weren’t/aren’t out buying supplies?”
I topped off some (yes...bottled water/TP/cold meds), but I left plenty for the ones that followed. (oh, and wine...lot’sa wine)
One thing about milk and such: with so many kids being home from schools they will have to eat at home, some for lunches AND breakfasts. Families msy be adjusting for those changes, too. Hopefully morons are not getting milk just to hoard, in other words,no kids
Honestly getting Chinese take out later. Visited our local deli sandwich shop last night too.
May stop by Grocery Outlet down the street later if the snow shows up late. Or, I have a bit of drip blend if I need it.
Order online.
If shipping is stopped, and the stores don’t get restocked, I wonder what it will be like in a couple weeks, or longer if this continues.
In NYC, instead of food, they’re hording video game consoles.
Last week I bought 10 big cans of coffee.
I live in rural Alabama. I grow my own vegetables and can shoot and eat a variety of critters, but I can’t grow coffee.
Order takeout.
baby butt wipes,
There is also a tendency for people to get caught up in the “big snow” fear. I have seen it many times. The TV predicts a big snow and everyone goes out and buys milk. eggs, and bread, whether they need it or not.
Oh, and one other thing. Maybe it is time for us Southern boys to load up big truck loads of corn cobbs and take north to sell! For those of you who understand I am sure it will bring a smile!
In China, there were reports that farmers had to throw out tons of fresh produce because they could not get it delivered.
I live in an area that still has lots of farms so,I am hoping that doesn’t happen here.
I can’tbwait until I can buy fresh fruit and vegetables from local producers and not have to,depend on supermarkets.
Well, if he doesn’t get one, and all the toilet paper is gone, then pretty soon, his nickname is going to be Mr Stinky Britches.
No, not just those places. It is now in the upper midwest: Ohio & Michigan. All schools are closed in both states.
I can just see a photo posted on Reddit of some Walmart employee, looking real stern, standing guard over empty shelves...
Mix the powdered milk with hot water (just boiled) and as it cools the taste of paper disappears! The taste of creay is more than I like, but it is a way to have whole milk for preps.
I stocked my pantry about two weeks ago. It was raining last night, and debated my usual 1.5 mile walk. Skipped it, and figured I would just take in less calories, instead. The new thought process ;)
