I am currently staying with my mom at her place in Michigan. This weekend, I went to the local grocery store. OF course, there was no toilet paper, or tissue or wipes or Lysol. But there was also no chicken, no ground beef, only expensive beef cuts and not much of that, little pork, no oatmeal, some cereal but not much, some pasta, no sugar, little flour, hardly any can goods, no frozen corn, green beans and other veges.
I got one of the last carton of eggs. There was little butter.
It reminds me of why my husband and I have a stock at our place and my daughter's place. We don't have a bunch at my daughter's place, and more at our home, but only about 6 months worth at that of some basics like rice, beans, sugar, flour, salt, and noodles, and other things. We have canned goods and rotate the stock, replacing what we used, so that cans don't sit too long.
It would be better if folks planned ahead for situations like this (coronavirus) and not empty the stores in fear.
