I have enough for about 2 weeks. There isn't really a need to hoard things. One important thing I have purchased is the driveway cleaner https://totalguide.org/best-driveway-sealer/. Our driveway has cracks and even stains; since I have enough time to fix this it’s time to get it sealed.

Went the grocery tonight for the week and they had everything we needed. I ONLY bought what I needed and didn't buy more than that.

I laughed at the toilet paper raids but now I have about a month's supply left and can't find any at the stores. I'm sure I'll be find but idk how much worse this thing will get.

I got an entire bulk box of flushable wet wipes thankfully.

Don't flush them. I don't care what the package says, they will clog your pipes. Ask any plumber or sewer guy.

One of the many reasons why I love the fact that Houston is so ethnically diverse. The other grocery stores.

Over the weekend I went to a Mexican meat market and a Korean grocery store and got everything I needed. Also stopped by Chinatown and they still had everything too. So it's pretty much just the white people panicking and hoarding everything (I'm white, so I can make fun of my own people).

So my suggestion is that if you still can't find what you need, and you have other options aside from the standard grocery stores, WalMart, Target, etc.....try those and I'm sure you'll have better luck.

Went to Kroger yesterday. The TP and bread sections empty. The jerky, nuts, trail mix, batteries, first aid, medicine, and protein bar sections were full. Its nice of everyone to store my TP for me if this were to hit the fan.

Went to Giant & Redner's yesterday. People wised up b/c not much meat & canned goods left on shelves. Giant is price gouging $7 for a lb of hamburger meat & $10 for a bottle of pasta sauce. I have to report that later. Also stopped at the state liquor store. There was a line, but not bad so I got some booze. If the world is gonna end, I wanna enjoy myself a little!

The face you make after buying up thousands of hand sanitizers and other things, only to be banned from Amazon and Ebay.

That's our cooking bourbon, we keep a 40 oz bottle next to the stove. My wife loves using it.

The order actually arrived a little while ago and my gf said it was ALL fucked up. Shit ton of stuff arrived that she said she had canceled. Anyways wont be doing that again. Apparently she says the Wholefoods delivery is actually very good. I dunno, not my area.

However I did remember we have at least 4+ rolls of tp at the rv so I'm not worried yet. It's an hour away but I need to go there anyway to do some stuff to it I forgot to do when we dropped it off.

I’ve tried this on Amazon with a handful of items. When an alert arrives, I go to the Amazon app, in some cases immediately because I am reading another email when the Amazon alert arrives. Each time there are none left so either Amazon is sending invalid alerts or someone rigged up some software to buy everything they have the moment they send the alert.
