Yup.
We bought a buncho coffee end of January. Not 10 cans, but more like 4 or 5.
Added another can in early Feb.
Just got back from Kroger in Plano TX. Definite feel of panic in the air. Lots of empty shelves (paper products, chicken, pasta, canned veggies). Other things seemed untouched but folks were definitely piling piling tne carts high. Hopefully this settles down in a couple weeks after people run out of refrigerator and pantry space.
What happens when the cashiers and stockers stop going to work?
There is also a run on freezers, I was extremely lucky to pick one up this morning, after my freezer died on me last night. At least I was able to save the frozen food, I just bought.

Especially from the, “It’s just the flu, bro and it only kills old people” crowd.
“ROTFLMAO! People are such idoits.”
Right and we have our share right here on FR.

It’s nice not to have a s****y shower, eh, Ken? ;D

Funny, how in blue states as well as the blue “acne” in predominantly red states is where this “panic buying” is happening.
Where I live in Central Alabama (outside of Montgomery) the stores for the most part didn’t have long lines, and the shelves were not picked over like a carcass. Although all of the local Publix stores announced that they are going to close at 8pm every night until further notice to allow for restock and sanitization.
Now even around here you still have a few sheep that are whipped into a panic. I was at Lowe’s this morning buying some stuff for the house and one such Ewe was having her eunuch husband grab as much Lysol and Clorox products as they can. SMH
Whatever you do, do not buy a Bannister harpsichord. The CDC says that they do no good in preventing the virus in non-medical personnel. They are in short supply, so there is no reason to hoard them. Do not panic and try to purchase a Bannister harpsichord. Just don’t.
Especially from the, “It’s just the flu, bro and it only kills old people” crowd.
You have different info sparky? Who is actually dying from this thing except the 60 and up crowd and even in THAT group 90% are 75 and up and even THEN 99% were in poor health to begin with.
Got some special inside info for us you hysterical wimp!
There may be supplies but if we are all on lock down how are we supposed to get the supplies.
My insurance company is already saying I should start having my prescriptions mailed.
Stopped at Whole Foods for Quikrete, and the shelves were empty. The cats will be disappointed that I can’t finish the 2nd floor promenade on the new cathouse.

Our shelves are pretty bare in the suburbs of Cincinnati.
I stocked up completely on paper goods maybe a month ago I recently retired didn’t know how long it would take for retirement and SS checks to start arriving so paid EVERYTHING 3 months in advance AND stocked both freezers with foods and cabinets with dry goods!! GEEZE I am so happy I did this who would have ever guessed we would have this hysteria over the country!! I went to Walmart to pick up some kitty treats but NO WAY was I going to fight that mad house!! Came home went to Amazon and my kitty treats will be here tomorrow on a Sunday HAPPY!!!
Milk can be frozen and thawed as needed.
Trump DID make a mistake yesterday by using the words, “national emergency”. Low-IQ people don’t realize that means freeing up money to help the situation. They think it means rivers of blood, swarms of locusts, gates of Hell, etc.
And when swarms of locusts are in your future, you must purchase TP.
The dispensary was pretty crowded this week.
been there , done there..
Milford, Ohio has horrible tasting water, not fit to make coffee according to a past mayor.
