I hit our HEB yesterday about an hour after they opened and found all that I needed including TP. Butcher area was full as was the produce area. Canned stuff was well stocked. Less folks shopping it seems.

Ducked into the dollar store this morning for some Little Debs and a can of Pringles. Plenty of canned stuff and junk food in there. Didn't check the toilet paper situation though. priorities, man, lol Well, in my defense, they were Cheddar and Sour Cream.

The kid reported his Kroger was swamped when the stay-at-home thing started 3 weeks ago. He worked a bunch during spring break, & they begged him to work more. They'd restock the store daily, or more often, but people cleaned the place out.
Last weekend, he said the place was mostly empty both Friday & Saturday. Must be a lot of full pantries.

Walked in to Academy with minimal wait and picked up a bulk pack of .22's off the shelf yesterday, so they're getting a little bit ahead.

Hit Publix yesterday. No lines, everything on my list in stock. I bought heavy on “long term short term “ supplies. Rice, pasta, canned foods, cheese, potatoes, onions. Freezer has venison, pork and chicken. Lots of shrimp and fish. I have dozens of the gallon size cans of Mountain House, and cases of MREs. I could probably go at least 6 months before I had to get into the real survival upsupplies. 😎

Stores were finally back to normal here and then the fool RINO governor decided to panic everyone again with a shelter-in-place. People voted him in because democrat, now when the economy falls apart they'll vote in a moonbat liberal because virus.

Kinda the way Piggly Wiggly is down here.  Had to go there when Publix got slammed with the panic and an extra dose of spring breakers. Publix was in much better shape yesterday. Still out of disinfectants, alcohol, bleach, etc. They started phasing in self checkout about a month or so ago. Good for the customers and employees right now, imo.

I have an elk and a half in the freezer, along with a decent (not great) season’s worth of ocean-caught coho.
I’m good.

In case you missed it, I heavily praised Publix for their store, service, and employees yesterday on another thread. Yet I was mocked because the name sounded funny. So whatever I’ll try to give a publix update in a couple days, we have 3 in our podunk town.

Our older Publix (built about 10 years ago) is still spotless, well maintained. They have 4 or 6 self checkouts. Quick in quick out.

I wanted some Cold Eeze zinc cough drops last week. Publix has them, I kind of figured they would, the riff raff ain’t in there pilfering the place into desolation wasteland.
The 5 Walmart supercenters take the load off. lol

If you thought the grocery stores were recovering their inventories somewhat (and they were around our city)
It’s cranking back up again.
They are wearing out the meat, TP, and canned goods.
shoppers are doubling down, the madness has a double bottom
Just conversation topic, I know most campfire types are well stocked.
The wife dashed in for ricotta cheese for a combat size lasagna we plan on sharing with extended family and she couldn’t even find any of that either.
Likely be that way too the better part of the rest of this week with it being the first of the month --- EBT, SNAP, WIC, etc.

Welfare recipients got their money today. I fully expect the shelves to be empty tomorrow. And a lot of canned goods and TP being offered up for trade on facebook in exchange for smokes and liquor.
