Just got back from the grocery store: 10:30am local time

[Coventina]

Late morning on a weekday, would normally be deadsville.

It was packed, but nobody seemed panicked.

I was just there to pick up a few things, I was not there to stock up on anything.

The only thing I noticed that was COMPLETELY cleaned out was the ramen noodles!
I guess everyone is channeling their college selves!

1. Was out too. Ramen noodles took a big hit. A little bit of TP was available. n/t

[lapfog_1]

2. They keep a long time... great for a snack...

only need water and microwave.

[sinkingfeeling]

3. I would rather starve than eat ramen noodles.

10. Lol! I'm with you.

Yuck.

[NBachers]

4. I'll settle for my Lundberg organic long-grain brown rice and dried garbanzo beans with pasta sauce.

Make a batch with fresh garlic, onions and ground beef and it lasts in the fridge for days.

5. I'm outraged!

because Trader Joe's were out of their Organic Black Beans. What's a girl to do? That's a staple in my house. I've never seen them sell out of that particular item.

6. I have enough dried beans for maybe 3 weeks and just stocked up on both kinds

of rice at the friendly neighborhood Indian market (which I feel very fortunate to have nearby)

Freezer full of chicken breasts and we just made a stock the pantry trip to Costco to spend our 2019 rebate.

I think we will have Indian Dal tonight, since I have lentils (and a ton of rice!)

The main thing I need to get is produce and dairy. I'd like to grab some coffee cream and extra coffee

7. A few days ago I knew Walmart and the big stores were hit hard and out of all

sorts of stuff, so I took a chance and went to a local Dollar store. Found plenty of dry beans, Basmati and Jasmine rice, TP, paper towels, cleaning supplies, cotton balls, canned foods, sauces, pastas, sugar-free drinks, boxed milk, tea... However, no alcohol or hand sanitizer, but they did have hydrogen peroxide. Plenty of all sorts of soaps, shampoo and conditioners, lotions. Best part was there was hardly anyone in the store mid day.

8. Ugh

Too much salt and saturated fat for me.

[spinbaby]

9. Peanut butter took a hit here

Also pasta was pretty picked over.

11. I have alot of pasta and peanut butter.

I'm thinking of opening up a little corner stand and charging outrageous prices.
