[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am delaying the purchase of frozen vegetables. We eat fresh vegetables because I hate canned and frozen. I don’t want to stock up, then end up throwing it out if we don’t get an outbreak here.

I did stock up on meats, paper products and personal care items. I need to go to the pharmacy and refill some things.

We don’t buy bottled water, and I don’t plan to start now. [/quote]

I’m the quoted PP.

Not to start a panic, but toilet paper supplies at target were low today. [/quote]

Save your panic, was at Target just now for regular grocery shopping not stockpiling and they were low on lots of things from tortillas to cookies to snapple iced tea. I don't imagine those are the #1 things anyone stockpiles. Guess what -- it's a Monday, Targets near most metro areas totally get picked over and sold out of things on the weekend and then it takes them a day or so to restock. While I was there, the bread guy was running around stocking the aisle with every imaginable bread and the lady in produce brought out approximately 1000+ bananas. So don't act like OMG people are panic buying and things are sold out. IRL most people I know just haven't even gotten around to thinking about doing that yet -- which makes it a good time to buy if you want to. Me OTOH -- laziest grocery shopper ever; all I've done so far is get a few extra boxes of pasta . . . . I have a list of the things I should/want to get like rice, lentils etc. and yet it somehow never happens when I'm just running for regular groceries. Maybe I'll make a separate trip to get this done. [/quote]
