Old School 360 Posted April 10, 2020 So, where are you guys getting supplies during this fiasco? Toliet Paper is still hit or miss at most markets, at least it can be found in limited quantities. Clorox wipes- I accidentally dumbed into them twice over the past month. Other than that they seem to be not obtainable. And the big one-hand sanitizer. Is there any place to purchase this stuff? I read there is now a shortage on the plastic bottles on top of the shortage of sanitizer. Anyone making their own? Hell, the alcohol and the Aloe Vera Gell are in short supply now.

Strike 3,975 Posted April 10, 2020 We're staying home 99.9 % of the time so I'm not worried about hand sanitizer. If neither of us has the virus then we're not gonna catch it from anything in our house. We go to the market once every week or two. That's our biggest potential infection possibility. We're there for 30 minutes or so and try to practice social distancing. First thing I do when I get home is wash my hands thoroughly. We went to Costco a couple weekends ago and were able to get TP so we've got plenty of that. That's about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cdub100 3,380 Posted April 10, 2020 I stocked up on all of those in January. We use Kroger and Walmart click list for groceries. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shotsup 832 Posted April 10, 2020 We in no way were hoarding but we have TP on subscribe and save at Amazon and we went on week vacation. Kids weren’t home before all this happened and we ended up being overstocked. Clorox wipes came in today from Amazon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted April 10, 2020 I drive to the defense and aerospace sector of Los Angeles. The local markets around there don't follow the rules of the rest of LA. You can still get fountain drinks and fresh coffee. They put plenty of straws out for customers even though straws are banned in LA. They've got TP and paper towels. Its all fresh and clean and well-stocked. Everything else is picked clean. It appears that, when supplies come in, they get distributed to the military sector first.

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted April 11, 2020 Been going to the market once a week max for the last 3-4 weeks. Had plenty of TP and paper towels before this all started and still have 4 weeks left (or so). Wife ran out of wine, so I went to the liquor store today. Grabbed some vodka and 12 bottles of wine, including a really nice Stag’s Leap for our 25th Anniversary tomorrow. She went to the butcher and grabbed some great steaks too. We couldn’t find milk yesterday where my wife shopped, but the neighbors got us a gallon today. You make due and adapt, I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted April 11, 2020 Paper goods - Winn Co. and Sam's Wholesale. Have not had much problem bcoz I go early. Meat/food - Winn Co. and Mexican markets. Have not had much problem bcoz I go early. Hand sanitizer is the only thing I can't find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 832 Posted April 11, 2020 The other thing we did and will continue to do - bought meat at local butcher and fish at local fish market- no more supermarket for those items. Better product and support local business- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Cubs 132 Posted April 11, 2020 we have a small mexican market & taqueria that most white and black people are scared to go in. They have almost everything. TP you buy by the roll not the pack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Blue 06 195 Posted April 11, 2020 We keep our garage (fridge and two freezers) fully stocked pretty much all the time with meats, canned goods and other non perishables. It’s good to always have it there. Before this really started, we added some stuff so we are good for months. Anything we didn’t get, we order through Instacart. They deliver from Shoprite, Acme, Wegmans and Costco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Utilit99 4,099 Posted April 11, 2020 I just go to the store and get what I need. Just like before only I have to get there before 8pm now. TP, I don't get the craze. Never will. I usually have enough on hand to last a while, and there's a store near me that has boxed tissues that no one is buying up in masses, so, if I get to that point, I'll just use those. Always plenty of paper towels as well in case of dire need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old School 360 Posted April 11, 2020 1 hour ago, HTH said: Anyone have any luck getting Gloves, Masks, and/or Hand Sanitizer Online? TIA I picked up gloves at Home Depot- but that was a few weeks ago. Their website shows what is available at local stores, but it doesn't look like much is available for delivery. Masks are advertised on Facebook from a bunch of new advertisers at pretty high prices. I'll pass and make due with one of those hokey home made bandana masks until I find something better. Hand sanitizer is what I want- when I do go out to forage I try to use hand sanitizer before touching anything inside the car. I've found a couple of the little bottles I've been given over the years, but that's not going to last much longer. Hand sanitizer cannot be found- with the exception of that Healthvanna stuff on TV for $12 or $15 a bottle plus shipping. I'm actually thinking about making a batch, if I can get some PGA and Aloe Vera Gel- both are pretty hard to find. It just creeps me out to not clean my hands as soon as I leave any building.

When the hoarding slows down and grocery stores catch up to being in full stock of things, people who have freezers full of meats, garages full of TP, a dozen bags of flour, 100 packets of yeast, 12 gallons of hand sanitizer, etc. are going to realize all the hoarding wasn't really needed in the first place. I think people should have only stocked up for like 2 weeks at a time unless they have special circumstances of high risk folks at home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
