Morning Borg.
Good luck with your quest, simple things are getting harder to find.
Noting this we have decided to slowly stock up on items. That way we will be ready for some shortages. We aren't buying out stores but just building a new base in the house.
Afternoon Keith. We had that really cold weather a while back. Our furnace is off less it starts to snow.
Morning Charlie
Saw it is really hot and humid in your neck of the woods.
How is your mom? You had said there were going to do the test the other way.
Things are slowly starting to get stocked again, I noticed more TP on the shelves when I went shopping. We're fine on that & will be for another month or 2. But I did get a package of masks despite the high price.
The end cap that had them was almost empty. About 1/4 of them left. I was there at 7:30 AM, 1/2 hr after the store opened. Lady that works that section told me when they opened that morn, the whole shelf was full. So people are still in panic mode apparently. The frozen pizzas are still pretty bare.
You got a good deal on those masks, considering the prices I've seen here.
You can also get from wally world at the same price but up here it was $8 for shipping to store.
Yes most things are returning but masks, gloves, wipes are still under pressure. We are starting to institute more "Masks On" rules so I'm expecting a new set of shortages.
Other strange things that are out of stock, Ivory dish soap ( very hit and miss), white sugar, brown sugar cubes (haven't seen them in any store since lock down started).
I've noticed soups are sparse, so are noodles, rice, just about anything that can be stored for a long time was missing for a while. Those slowly coming back.
Of course all the hand soaps & cleaning supplies are still low. I think I saw some bleach again, that was a MIA item for a while. Strange thing, when people were panic buying the soaps & foaming soaps, they bought the dispenser containers themselves, but not the refill packs. I bought a couple of those & just refilled the dispensers we had bought a while ago. Problems solved, we have soap for a while.
Morning Josey. Are you having hot summer weather?
