The Walmart grocery area here was picked clean, but smaller corner
grocery store has everything except TP and certain cleaning products.
Super weird. It's like people forgot the other grocery store existed.
I also read a post on Quora last night. It was middle eastern man
living in Arizona and he said something to the effect of, "It's adorable
that Americans are more worried about wiping their asses than whether
they have something to shit out in the first place. It's clear you've
never had any serious troubles here."

The store I went to still had potatoes. I’m always amazed that you can
buy nice big baking potatoes for 49 to 99 cents per pound. Easiest
thing in the world to bake, just stick them on the oven rack for an
hour. Even better than bananas because you can eat the skin. And you
can put some of your bacon on them!
I don’t see how anybody makes money selling potatoes, it has to be a
loss leader.

I went by the meat shop today, father in law is offering a side of
beef, who am I to say no.
They're 2 weeks out on packages
They're always 2 weeks out on packages
I guess the hoarders think retail packaging and prices are better for
survival than white paper wrapped fresh killed cow that is a 1/4 cheaper

I went to a Raley's last night for kicks and there was
nothing: no eggs,
no dairy, no canned goods, no frozen foods, no breads, no
condiments, no
paper goods (towels, napkins, TP, etc.), no cleaning
products, no baking
staples like flour, not even jello. They did have plenty
of fresh
produce but not potatoes. No lines to check out so I
bought ice cream,
chips, and reeses. Bakery and deli counters had normal
supply, but all
self serve things were pulled with notices to ask (i.e.
donuts). Bulk
bins section was mostly untouched.
A store near me this morning was similar but the hoarders
made the line
wrap around the inside of the store so I walked out rather
than wait
forever to buy literally two items I can wait to get later
(bread flour
and powdered milk for my bread machine). A local butcher
shop was
cleaned out within 10 minutes of opening except for bacon.
All the
liquor aisles were fully stocked though.
The takeaway here is if you need bacon and hard liquor
you're good to go.
