I'm ready!

[DEPcom]

When I see a dollar can for ten Campbell soup, I will stock up returning multiply times until I have my year supply of soup. I love the bean soup, getting ready to open a can now...

[Maceman]

No sign of panic at my local Stop & Shop this morning.

[VanDeKoik]

I have 15 large supermarkets within 15 minutes of me.

We have no stories here of this.

But press whores can always find one.

[COBOL2Java]

A person can never have too much toilet paper. Anyone who has ever discovered they were out of tp when they had explosive diarrhea will testify to this.

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

My CORONA!!”

That song has been playing in head since the panic began.

[Vigilanteman]

You know beer has a short shelf life, right?

It is even shorter if you don't keep it cold.

Why not invite over some Freeper friends to help you drink it before it goes bad?

I remember when a Johnny Carson joke caused a run on TP. People are even more stupid today.

I am not familiar with that. I’ll have to look that up. Hey beer is calories :-)

It is ridiculous but if you walked into a pharmacy or non-grocery store in 90 days, you might be shocked. Vitamins, most pharmacy items, shampoo, and stuff like this? It’ll all be in short supply and they will limit you to just item of that type to buy.

Food? I wouldn’t worry about....the bulk of it is either US or Mexico. I would be worried about car parts in six months. Same for Tabs, cellphones and laptops....that might be a problem by Christmas time.

Wish I had an Aldi near me. Best I can do is Dollar General.

[VanDeKoik]

The retard reporter likely could have went back later in the day and eaisly found the shelves restocked.

[COBOL2Java]

I stockpiled on Corona.

“I love the bean soup”

For years, I called that “fart soup”...for obvious reasons.

[Jeff Chandler]

I haven’t noticed any panic buying or out of stock items at the local Fry’s (Kroger).

I’m headed for my usual Costco run this morning. I doubt it will be busier than usual. I will purchase an extra pack of canned chicken and an extra pack of pre-cooked bacon.

Chandler, Arizona.

If you wanted to supply “information”, you should supply your location!

[Buckeye McFrog]

I’m going to Aldi today! I expect it to be ast calm as it was on Tuesday.

Aldi wasn't calm when I was there a couple of days ago. Some woman in a hijab who didn't speak English could not figure out how to use the card reader and the six people behind her in line were getting ready to kill her.

Yeungling, yeah

Good beer and pro-Trump

"a run on TP"

Ew!
