Is anyone seeing runs on supplies like toilet paper, bleach, etc.?
I was at the grocery store yesterday the TP aisle was pretty much cleared out. Most household cleaning supplies were available although bleach was limited.
Believe it or not hand soap/sanitizer was available in limited quantities.
Rest of groceries looked to be good.
The only explanation I can come up with is CV somehow eats toilet paper.
There will be a baby boom in 9 months, count on it.
Mgr put a stop to that and amended to apply to families. One dude didn't like that and got a bit chippy. He calmed down when the police showed up. "
And that is why voluntary becomes mandatory. But the same guy is the type that speeds ahead of merging traffic on the highway to squeeze in at the last minute, which causes a worse slow down than if he just merged when everyone else dd.
No rubbing alcohol at the local Walmart. I picked up a pint of hydrogen peroxide that can be used for cleaning surfaces (although depending on the surface, it may cause damage.)
“Why flour? I don’t get it”
Pioneer spirit, Hardtack, LOL!
“South Carolina low country...alcohol is all gone from all stores”
South Carolina Upstate is out 10# bags of fruit tree fertilizer.
Reporting from Gainesville, Texas (Wally World).
DH shopping on Monday. Toilet tissue isle = empty shelves.
Isopropyl Alcohol Antiseptic = no stock; 2 small boxes of antiseptic wipes was all that remained on shelves. He grabbed the two.
Texas population = a good many NY sissies.
LOL Paper towel still seen on shelves. Cut a roll in half.
Paper napkins also seen. When all else fails, an old yellow pages (phone book; if these are still available)
“No rubbing alcohol at the local Walmart”
Yep no go at Target, Wally, Rite Aid and Walgreens on Monday. Found 32oz of 99.9% stuff on an on-line Pet Supply warehouse. $5 to ship, but what are you going to do. Will mix it down with some water and essential oil for hard surface disinfectant. Supposedly it is safe for Granite counter tops (let it sit for a couple minutes before wiping up)
Tennessee-Alabama border. Walmart out of toilet paper and paper towels. Vitamin C and Advil, Tylenol, Cold & Flu Meds wiped out. All food and cleaning supplies available but shelves are emptier than normal. Dollar General had plenty of TP.
It does, but what doesn't make much sense are all the videos of folks pushing shopping carts loaded with toilet paper and bottled water and little or nothing else.
I was getting bottled water at Costco yesterday and they literally had employees guarding the paper stuff and the water. I don’t understand either.
But The good news is that we already had a lot of TP because we had just bought our “every six months” bag from costco last week.
Once everybody has more than they need or want, it will go from scarcity to too much. Probably in the next week.
In my part of Alabama (Montgomery - Auburn) all is in stock, no waiting.
Local Walmart out of Diet Dr. Thunder, though, dang it!
Connecticut:
TP is gone at BJs wholesale club, but there was plenty in the grocery stores.
I bought TP and bleach at a Dollar General last evening.
You could tell it had been heavily shopped but the shelves
weren’t bare.
“There will be a baby boom in 9 months, count on it.”
Especially with ‘the pill’ being imported from China.
TP, hand sanitizer, wipes. Rest of the actual food supply looked pretty much normal from what I could tell.
Haha. I was at Target last night. Everything on the shelves except TP and a lot of medicines. Still plenty of wine. That’ll change soon.
They may come back for seconds—or maybe they’re already onto thirds and fourths.
I am not aware of any other culture with our scale of grocery packaging and purchases!
