- one large box of hotpockets

I'm sure he loves you very much, but there's no way he's sharing the hot pockets.

Eggs keep5 weeks max. That is month and a half. Freeze them and you can keep them a year . Google. Egg freezing tricks.

I'm sure I've kept eggs far longer than five weeks. But I buy then from a farmer a day or two after they are layed, so they're way fresher than grocery store eggs.

What's with the energy drinks? If I'm sitting around in PJs working from home, no commute, no business dress and hair/makeup, the last thing I need is to be pumped up on Monster.

Does no one see the irony in this?

If everyone waits until the last minute, there will be tons of people without any food or supplies. All the people slowly stocking up are helping out the ignorant fools who will wait until the last minute and wonder why they cannot find toilet paper. It is just common sense to make sure you have back ups of all your necessary items and have some extra canned goods.

Wouldn't' everyone get sick while crowding the store?

Maybe it includes Gatorade? I bought some of that, even though we don’t really like it.

Now?! I started 2 weeks ago, when everyone was calling me crazy.

You know what was actually crazy, the people at Costco yesterday. I walked and walked right back out.

There was almost nobody there, but those who were, were filling their carts with obv zombie apocalypse foodstuffs. We picked up everything we needed and followed the rule that we’d only buy stuff we will eat eventually anyway. We definitely picked up a few random frozen foods that we wouldn’t normally get, but overall, I felt like we stocked up for a few weeks off the grid without too much hassle.

LOL at “coronavirus partypack.”
We did the same, just at the local wegmans, did not buy anything we wouldn’t normally. I just don’t normally need flour, rice, oats and beans all at the same time. Oh, and plenty of ice cream. And chocolate. We still need easter candy and liquor, then we should be set
