Lotsa conservatives and general foodies shop at Trader Joe's. It's good and it's much cheaper than supermarket prices. But I'll bet you're right that liberals (who do love TJ's) are driving the panic.
Lol
I once saw a man a newspaper store with his billfold full of lottery tickets he won about $5 it was a scratch type so he reinvested an added a lot more like 20 more on lottery then after that I saw him walk into the grocery store next door and he bought a24 case of beer I have a second this guy has got his afternoon all set up LOL
By the way Mom, if your kids call you that oh, you must be an excellent mother happy mother’s day ín well advance!
oh yeah...I just attributed it to Janis Joplin...forgot KK wrote it....lol
yeah, I’ve ribbed my husband about the TP.....he just doesn’t get into issues and news like I do......I bought extra TP weeks ago...maybe a month ago....I’ve told a co worker 2 weeks ago about the china virus...the lack of pollution over parts of China meant the plants were not functioning and there might be shortages HERE.....
I probably passed you at the Costco....I was there about 1 pm....
I live in a small town of less than 5000.
Friday I went to the 4 main shopping options.
The grocery store had some TP still but the shelves were more empty than on Wednesday. Usually more expensive.
Dollar General. No TP and very little of other paper products. Went in for cat food and had to hunt it down on the racks that were lined up all over the store and then had to get help to actually be able to buy it. Nothing new really as those racks never seem to move.
Walmart. On Tuesday they had some TP but gone Wednesday. Now most other paper products gone. Mad house.
Dollar Tree. We picked up 6 4 packs on Tuesday and I got 6 more on Wednesday. Gone on Friday. We got there right before 5 pm and there was a note on the door saying they were closing at 5 and I think it said would be closed today. Who knows what is going on there. My sister did find a small bottle of hand sanitizer.
It also made sense to buy a little extra since Flu B has visited us. Niece had it first, then my mom who thankfully seems to be getting over it now. I have had a cold for at least 3 weeks. Some days I use a ton of tissues and others hardly any.So far the rest of us seem okay but that could change.
During the winter we usually buy 4 at a time and sometimes more if bad weather is coming. So really not much more than we usually have stocked. 4 packs last about a week or two.
Before my surgery almost 5 years ago I was buying 12 packs of double rolls every few days. So glad those days are over.
Nice.
First rule of prepping: you dont talk about your preps.
Second rule of prepping: if TSHTF, no charity, barter only.

Yesterday every store here was apocalyptic but before that Kroger had plenty of TP and Costco was out.
Very smart of you Sis!
A few of our local grocery stores are closing early to give them time to restock. They must be loving the craziness and profits they are making right now.
Keep praying!
Psalm 91:1-8
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.a
2 I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3Surely He will deliver you
from the snare of the fowler,
and from the deadly plague.
4 He will cover you with His feathers;
under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.
5You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the calamity that destroys at noon.
7 Though a thousand may fall at your side,
and ten thousand at your right hand,
no harm will come near you.
8 You will only see it with your eyes
and witness the punishment of the wicked.
If the SHTF good luck bartering.
It’s open warfare & free for all.
You know it will be in this stupid society.
Did your co-worker listen?
True.
Once they know you have enough to trade.....
