It amazes me that fresh food is what's being hoarded. My local grocery stores are out of meat, fresh fruit and veggies, and dairy. A lot of those things will only last a week. Why hoard them?

Maybe it's demographic. I was out today doing my regular grocery shopping, and at Aldi & Walmart both, there was an abundance of fresh fruits and veggies. TP??? Not so much, although WMart was bringing out a HUGE pallet of TP while I was there. I don't need any, so I skeedaddled out of that aisle!!@bgriffin wrote:

I got that email and went to the website and followed the instructions, using the zipcode provided in the email. The website isn't functioning properly, however.

Yes, I think it is demographic. Here on LI there is plenty of fresh fruit and veggies. We did some grocery shopping today and found grapefruit, apples, lemons, peaches, asparagus, potatoes, peppers, etc. Paper goods were scarce and no hand sanitizer. Fortunately my wife is a very good cook and she made the corned beef tonight that wasn't available last week. Plenty of chicken and chicken cacciatore is on the menu for this weekend along with chicken Fancese (that I will make) for next week. Also found a top round on sale that will turn into roast beef and potato pancakes. The Mexican border has been closed so all you avocado lovers will be in trouble and will also probably affect grapes and other fruit. Food has not been a problem. We buy what is available and only what we need. We normally buy out paper goods at Costco so we have not run out and although were out of tissues and paper towel towels, I was able to fin TP earlier this week
We are not panicking and will continue to buy as needed, wash our hands often and keep our social distance when possible. Glad to see most grocery stores have an employee at the entrance wiping down the carts as customers enter and having hand wipes available.

I just received this email from The Source that reminded me of the discussions on this and other threads. Sounds like some ideas some posters had:
Yeah...that's basically the shop posting I was hoping to see. No pressure to go. Just report on the progress if you happen to be there...usable information!

They finally cancelled my weekend shops. They are conducting some $2.00 shops regarding safety.

Additionally, some people live on food purchased from restaurants. With a lot of restaurants being closed, people are forced to cook, LOL! And even though drive thru and carryouts are still being conducted in many states, people might be scared of eating food someone else prepared.
I saw a notice about a class in "how to boil water". and other things for those who don't have a clue.

Good news avocado lovers. I was wrong. The closing of the Southern border won't affect normal trade.

That is great. Yesterday I made my first run to the grocery since the real panic set in.The top of my list was chips and salsa. Now I don't have to worry about Avocados.
