Having bananas and oranges 50 meters out your front door has its advantages. I think our new chicken friends arrive tomorrow

East Shore or West?

I went last night. Pasta, frozen foods, and cleaning supplies were all decimated. Milk was also scarce but there were still a few gallons on the shelf. No shortages that I could see in the eggs and booze sections. People want to face the apocalypse sober it seems. I did, however, see a sign that the store would be limiting purchases of high-demand items to a certain number per household and another sign saying the store would be closing early to restock and would reopen at 6 AM.
“ whats with the TP vultures they”
There are lots of alternatives for TP including the garden hose.
Just wondering how’s Wegmans doing? I’ve heard they might open more in Mass and Conn...
Mr sneakers was in our local Walmart (Indiana County, Pa). Yesterday was payday and we needed a few things. Fresh meat and chicken sold out. TP, paper towels and bleach gone. We needed clothes detergent. He grabbed one of the three left of the brand that we use. Canned meats sold out.
We are not panic buying. Mr S is retiring soon, and we started stocking up months ago because we are preparing for a smaller monthly income. We’re good for months, so no worries here. Everyone should have at least a one or two month supply put back anyway, for possible hard times or unforeseen circumstances.
Nicely played
I need a chuckle
Fat finger, Small screen, old eyes
And you are correct
That’s perfect
I was thinking that folks here in north Georgia clean out the bread and milk aisle but the TP aisle is about the usual.
Toilet paper. The prepping staple of Team #Woke, even in apocalypse.
Never had bugs in my toilet paper, no matter how long it was on the shelf.
“I stocked up a couple of months ago. Not out of fear or panic but because of two reasons: possible mandated quarantine or needing food in a supermarket jammed with shoppers who may already be sick and just don’t know it.”
That logic seems to be lost on those continually wondering “why should you stock up on toilet paper (et al) for the flu?” Those are the same reasons I stocked up a while back. Nothing will go to waste. I’ll use it or donate it.
“Never had bugs in my toilet paper”
Yeah, I haven’t either, in fact thought that was a joke, but I guess things are different in other areas of the country.
our electricity went off for nearly 10 hrs last night....and after a very mild winter we had wind and very cold temps.....I couldn't sleep because I had no backup for my cpap...
Some of us rotate our stash.
And who’s going to stop using TP?
Deep freezer is your friend!
All stuff like that takes a 7-10 day vacation in my deep freezer before it hits my pantry shelves.
The empty shelves should give people a good view of what socialism looks like.
There is a limit to the capacity of people's refrigerators, and what they can reasonably expect to eat before it spoils. Meat can get frozen, but fresh fruit and veggies needs to get used within a week or so, so there is limited hoarding potential.
