2 days ago: paper product shelves, pasta shelves were empty, and some soups/canned goods shelves were decimated. Same chain today: lots of everything in stock.

Since our pantry and freezer are pretty well stocked, we actually may not have to make a grocery run for a couple of weeks or more. So I'm hoping we might pretty much miss out on the crowds. Some of the stores around here have time dedicated to senior citizens in the mornings, so I might use that time if I have to do some shopping. Were also planning on a couple of trips to our favorite spots in the local desert for camping. There shouldn't be too many people out there.

Was in our local Meijers today. Crowds were thinner than usual..same items gone, due to hoarders.
Funny part was...they used duct tape to form large X's on the floor of every checkout aisle! A worker said.."That's where you are supposed to stand" (6 ft. radius)

Thanks for the concern. So far, everything at the local hospital is "business as usual". |

Went to the local major supermarket and the shelves were empty. Then I went to the small family owned market and they were fully stocked even had tons of toilet paper. I guess the little store is better at inventory control than the large chains.

Just got home from shopping for my Mom.
Store was stocked with everything needed and more. Exception was PT and TP and commercial breads. They did have plenty of fresh bread & baked goods from their bakery. I talked to the manager and he said the commercial bread would be in tomorrow (they don't deliver on Wed.). He also said the bread companies were going to reduce the number of varieties they normally make and make more of the core assortment. The produce department was jammed full, including bananas. The produce guy said he was worn out from all the extra business they're getting and related work he's had to do. I told him that's not a bad problem to have.

We stocked up earlier in the year and have a three of cases of cab, three or four cases of champagne, probably 100 bottles of assorted reds and whites, a good spirits selection, and enough Scotch to last twenty years. We may run low on mixers, but I'm not too worried.
Grocery stores were NUTS last weekend, but since the entire Bay Area has been issued a shelter in place order as of Monday, it seems to have eased off. My wife stopped in at Trader Joe's on her way back from work this morning (no shelter in place for medical) and said it was all relatively normal, not many people, and full shelves. Maybe people staying at home will help calm things down to some extent.

They laughed at me when I went out to the woods with a gun.
The 50 lbs of venison in my freezer is the last laugh.

Report from the Twincities:
Drove by a Target, Cub (grocery store) and Walmart last night. Parking lots not real busy, but probably busier than normal. Did not see any unusual shopping that I could tell. Saw six or seven people wearing masks. One person wearing gloves, I think. The Cub is normally open 24 hrs. It closed at 10pm. The Walmart normally closes at midnight. It also closed at 10pm. Drove by the Cub and Walmart today about 3pm. Parking lots busier, though not packed. At the Walmart, about 1/3 of the shoppers coming out had 'excessive' amounts of TP or paper towels, sometimes it was hard to tell what they had. Saw three or four people with masks. Bars, restaurants, and other similar businesses were closed as of yesterday. The MOA closed today at 5pm, or yesterday. Governor's press conference. Testing is still backlogged. They/we have 1700 samples frozen for later testing.
