[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a frequent reader and poster here in DCUMlandia but I live in Richmond. I went to a dollar tree in a not great neighborhood- found bleach - Clorox wipes - and bought 4 (3) packs of the small travel size purell. I also went to the local Aldi‘s and got some crackers and cheese, pasta, canned fruit and other snacks that I will be hiding in the trunk of my car. Anyways just wanted to let you guys know to try the dollar stores and ethnic stores in the not so great neighborhoods [/quote]

How are the surrounding Richmond areas looking generally? If you went to a Target or Publix in say Short Pump, would they be wiped clean?

FYI applicable everywhere not just Richmond, if for any reason you can't find rice and/or lentils, find an Indian grocery store in your area. I went last weekend and they are fully stocked -- in large part bc many Indian families (mine included) aren't stocking up any more than their normal grocery shopping bc it is very common for them to have 10-20 lbs of rice and lentils in their home already as that is daily fare; most of those stores also sell snacks like cookies (Indian/middle eastern brands though - but they're good) + produce so if you really feel you can't find food (not that I'm seeing food shortages yet), one of these stores can be a one stop shop.[/quote]

My sister lives on the south side of the river, Forest Hill which is also A nice neighborhood like short pump, she went to target today and sent us pictures of 100% empty shelves of cold and flu medicine for adults and children. Also completely empty shelves of all cleaning products Clorox wipes bleach etc. etc.[/quote]

IDK if it's a Target thing or a well to do area thing or both, but Targets are very much wiped clean, and then you can go to Safeway or Harris Teeter or wherever and find the same stuff -- maybe not everything but not completely sold out either. IDK if they have a distribution and stocking problem or what. I've heard multiple people say there isn't a wipe to be found in Target whether Falls Church or Forest Hill, but then Giant in MoCo still has some!?[/quote]

Yeah I didn’t bother with Target yesterday after hearing how bad it was. Went to Harris Teeter and found everything (OTC medicines included) with no trouble.  [/quote]
