Stopped into the local drug store on the way home from work tonight to pick up some supplies, you know the essentials like beer and such. Only thing they were out of was had sanitizer and masks of any kind. Everything else was still pretty much there. I picked up a couple of gallons of bleach as I use it in my laundry and have heard people are starting to hoard that now. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 This is another frightening lesson on just how easy it is to make the majority panic and believe everything you say. Then things like this take on a life of their own...…….. Government knows this!!! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwalchmai Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Went to Costco today and bought gasoline, TP, coffee, & paper towels, because we were low. Plenty of everything in North GA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aomagrat Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Mom wanted a bottle of alcohol but every store I went into was out. Then I found a store with plenty of alcohol and bought a bottle. Of rum. I'm a drinking man. I sterilize on the inside. Mom was not impressed. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrB Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 I bought a couple of bags of dog food last week. I usually keep two extra bags here so was nothing special for me. If you have pets make sure they have food for awhile. I have always done this. Dave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with the Corona virus but instead, I am so pathetic that with my 19 year old dog, I feel if I keep a big stock of food, he can't leave me...…… It's stupid I know, but I don't want to see him go...…….. It's only money. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I teach emergency prep for my church. We live in an earthquake zone. I’m pretty well stocked but I am adding and refreshing my supplies. It never hurts to evaluate, refresh and expand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 151 rum or everclear can be used in a pinch for alcohol based sanitizer, but it goes against my principles. I JUST finished off my Y2K toilet paper. these new rolls are tiny, by comparison! The missus added a good bit to our dry goods this week. I've severely neglected preparedness and organization lately. Time for a good spring cleaning and reorganization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed some tp I had at my shop was much wider than what you get at the stores these days. Did some research and discovered that all the manufacturers decided to make narrower rolls so they could show off the lower price. At this rate, in another 10 years tp will be about the width of a bandaid. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampfox762 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I just ordered a few things from BJ's. Couple cases of Chocolate protein Drinks, two bags of paper plates, bag of salt and pepper pistachios, and two bundles of Toilet paper. Payed for online, and a $6 Tip for the shopper. Just arrived. Total time, one hour 15 min. No shortages here yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like everything else on the grocery shelves. Much smaller in size/ quantity than used to be. I won't be surprised the day a 'dozen' eggs are 10 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
