KCMO North. I just was at Walmart. It was fine.

Not a huge crowd. I was able to shop and keep my distance. The only empty shelves I saw were cereal abd paper plates. There was toilet paper and paper towels.

I wear my blue gloves when I am out of the house. I throw them away after each use.

1. You might want to consider spraying down your gloves with alcohol; carefully removing and reusing

There are shortages on nitrile gloves as well. After disinfecting, they dry quickly and mine sit in an empty doggy bag affixed to my dashboard. Obviously disinfect your hands as well, just in case.

For some reason eggs are also very difficult to come by.

were hard to find.

The clerk at Walmart said they had one woman who wanted to buy 10 gallons.

Does milk freeze well?

There was plenty of meat but they had limits on how much you can buy.

But it’s fine to freeze. Just shake the gallon after defrosting.

I was there 8:15a on Saturday and it was almost 'normal'. Not crowded at all, most shelves full, employees were unusually pleasant.

The only difference, when I was there the TP aisle was pretty empty except for the cheapest brands and the cereal was stocked.

So...hi neighbor!

were still limited and there were no Lysol wipes or anything like that, but canned goods have made a return. The shelves were totally bare last week. Most important of all: CAT FOOD IS BACK! LOL.
