We have been asked to self isolate but went shopping over the weekend. Cleaning supplies and paper are totally missing as is milk and bread flour. Other things seemed normal.
Agreed....I believe/think that after a few days or a week this madness will settle down and you can then go to the store and get what you want without ridiculous lines, crowds and empty shelves. Fingers crossed!
Thank you Shutterbug, Wendy, Diane, Mike, Joy, Kathy, Issi, Jeannie, Marilyn, Lynda and Haskar! Wow- didn't expect to see this on the PP!
I had to run an errand today and did manage to find some paper towels, baby wipes and Kleenex. At least now I don't have to worry about the tp running out before the shelves get restocked. I know life will be a little disjointed over the next few months but I'm really hoping the shopping frenzy will die down as some of you believe it will. I don't want to overstock, I just want to do my regular shopping!
@jeanniec57 That wouldn't have mattered around here. I know people that would have driven to every supermarket within a 15 mile radius and bought one just so they could have 20 packs!
A friend of mine told me she went to the store today and bought toilet paper for her small counseling business. She said there wasn't much, but some came in large packs and some in 4 packs. People were allowed to buy 1 pack - didn't matter what size.
@randystreat Hopefully this will even out eventually. I had to stop in a CVS yesterday and while they didn't have tp they did have baby wipes, kleenex and papertowels. So at least we're stocked up on them! (Not to obsession, but just enough to be useful.)
Get this. A huge hardware chain here called Canadian Tire ( yes they sell tires and have a gas bar and also service cars etc) well they had a flyer in the mail. tp and pt going on sale this morning. Hans went right at opening time and guess what, they stocked up last night before closing and all the shelves were empty before they opened this morning.
