It looks like you got everything you need for a stay home order. Feel better.

We’re doing the same. Not hoarding but as you say a little extra here and there. All things that are either shelf stable or go into something we cook ahead for canning or freezing - mostly canning.

Thanks! Meds help.
Out of context. But just checked a round trip flight from san francisco to Rome at the end of October. Under 420 dollars. Was just curious.

We have a trip to Europe planned this fall. We have one every year. We haven’t cancelled yet, but…
There are estimated to be around 6000 Britons “stranded” in New Zealand. Price for a current flight back to the UK - £40k. No, that is not a typo. In wartime, that sort of profiteering would have had someone stood against a wall at dawn.

Yep no frozen goods or TP here. Also no dry pasta or chicken.
You can get all the chips and crackers you want. Fortunately, there are now enough eggs, milk, bread and cheese.
Tuna is still in short supply (though I did manage to get nine cans today, so Malgato will eat another week +). I even found a fully stocked shelf of kitty litter, so at least the cat will be happy 
I do love my local Giant’s new system: one line, a manager monitoring the registers and calling the next customer when the prior customer is about done. Brilliant–you never get caught in the “slow” line and your items are scanned as quickly as they’re unloaded onto the belt. Every register has a bagger, there is a shield between the cashier and the customer and the card reader for payment is wiped down after each touch screen transaction.

This mag piece very nearly astonished me. A tale of a grocer far smarter than a government…

Haven’t been to a grocery store since before Xmas, except for a quick run into our little green market about 6 or so weeks ago. I did do an online order and picked up when H was on a ski trip a few weeks ago. Can hardly imagine the whole new world out there. I’d like to go, but just can’t risk it. Was so looking forward to getting back to doing regular things. A terrifying “new normal” - what a nightmare this is, in all ways…
Wow, it never occurred to me to stock up so far in advance. I have coffee and pretzels. But I only planned for 2+ weeks of whiskey and vodka. Now our gov is asking for a shutdown through April 30 . . . Things are looking grim.
I will now always stock 6 months of TP + liquor.

I keep an insane amount of food in the house and garage pantries, freezer, and extra garage fridge. But I wasn’t cleverly stocking up for the apocalypse! Got the flu Xmas day, and serious complications with it, so, too sick to go, and didn’t want to catch any other bugs from anyone. Now I’m wondering if I did in fact have Covid-19, since it was the strangest damn virus I’ve ever had…wish I could get tested to see if I have antibodies to it.
On a funny note, we can buy beer, wine, and liquor at the grocery stores here, so no worries about running out. Also, it’s a pot legal state. I keep my friend in another state supplied, and learned yesterday she’s completely out of product. I assured her I’d get a care package to her ASAP. I then started to wonder if the pot shops were even still open. As it turns out, our governor declared pot to be essential, and ordered the “unique boutiques” to remain open 
I do of course realize I’m a drug smuggler, but bring it on, if they want to go after a couple of little old ladies…
BTW, her last package smelled so skunky, I had to spray the outside of the USPS box liberally with my granny perfume 
worked great though!
Ok, please don’t rat me out anyone…

Totally funny & thanks for the laugh @Babette!
Rat you out? Can you supply me? We have neither liquor stores (owned by the state) nor legal pot. I may go stir crazy with no medicinal sedatives.
So…not the company shipping my greenhouse?
Of course I can! Unfortunately I can’t help @shrinkrap out with her greenhouse though…
