When the quarantine started there was mass hoarding of toilet paper and paper towels.  In my area there is still very little. Not even our Costco has been successful in getting a stock. How are the stores in your area. Have they been able to resupply paper and consumables? Has it impacted you?

No impact. I already had my hurricane supplies in place.

Toilet paper hasn't been a problem in my area even with hoarding, Secouya. The food supply chain has been affected instead. Wendy's is a hamburger chain that can't serve hamburgers or chili in my town any more. McDonald's can't serve salads or ice cream.

At first we weve very much affected and stocked up for 2 months before things got real bad so we were ok. As soon as it was in michigan at all mom told us she would help us stock up and we could pay her when we could. Did not hoard but got 2 month supply of pantry adn frozen food including frozen bread dough, shelf stable milk what we could get was hard to find and anything fridge wise that is good long (not much that is though) and we got household stuff for 2 months. Only thing hard to find right now is disinfectant spray. Sanitizer and all is back on shelves. Mainly at dollar tree and its the same thing just cheaper! 99.9 percent antibacterial!

196 granola bars.
My husband bought ONE HUNDRED NINETY_SIX GRANOLA BARS

We did stock up on staples (shelf-stable) that we know we'll use whether there's trouble or not with supplies.

Biggest issue? No rubbing alcohol, no hand sanitizer, no disposable masks, no vinegar or bleach, and limited supplies of TP. And prices for things like soap are doubling or tripling just b/c....

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...

    Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
