Cruzer 1,992 Posted March 21, 2020 Sam's Wholesale opens at 9 am here. I arrived at 7:45, was 10th in line... By the time they opened, the line wrapped around the building. Everyone was calm, civil and orderly. No running, no shouting, no fighting - a well behaved crowd. The stores limiting items to 1 package per membership (or person) helps big time. Ground beef, chicken, eggs and paper products were gone in an hour - with staff working like hell in the back to get more out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supermike80 1,284 Posted March 21, 2020 Seeing the same. Orderly. Lines were minimal today. Out of most paper. Costco had paper towels one to customer. But they were pretty well stocked otherwise No issue with fresh produce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted March 21, 2020 Went to Dollar General..tons of bread and milk We found everything we needed...except flour..I was going to make some bread just to try it. Probably 15 people in store...no real panic buying..one guy had like 10 packs of baby wipes..that was about it. They open an hour early for elderly and at risk folks which is cool. Some stuff was out..but we got extra dog food..couple extra boxes of pasta...tuna..mayo..things we can make for lunches...etc. Ohio here just an fyi..

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted March 21, 2020 The gov of IL said no need to panic buy. All grocery items will be delivered and stocked as usual. Which means everyone needs to clear out the entire store. Brilliant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,576 Posted March 21, 2020 I saw a Chinaman headed into the store earlier. I waited till he left to go in. No chop suey-fluey for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your mom wanted some lumber. I delivered. And gave her a little extra too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted March 22, 2020 The Albertson's in Calabasas off Agoura Road seems well-stocked. Its kinda out of the way and never busy. Plenty of bread, noodles, milk, cheese, butter. The only place I find toilet paper and paper towels are small mexican supermarkets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,552 Posted March 22, 2020 Thanks for the updates guys. Even at it's worst, we never had issues with shortages here besides medical supplies and equipment. Household stuff like food, soap, TP, no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rice, beans, produce and meat have been scarce here. But the little carniceria I go to has had plenty on hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went to an asian grocery store this weekend. The chance that it is spreading there is probably less than the other grocery stores since it has been empty for a month and our local HEB has had lines out the door for over a week. The food they stock at our local chinese grocery is pretty crappy, however I will be shopping there again. Pork potstickers are pretty good at least. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
