This was what the NOlA area was like a month ago. Now you can get basically everything you need all at the same store regardless of time of day outside of a couple random things.

The real question is whether there's a real shortage anywhere.

There isn't. People are panic buying. It will subside for OP in a week or two most likely.

ETA: And as others have said, go somewhere other than Walmart. You'll pay more, but even in the early stages of the panic buying, other stores will still have most everything besides TP and hand sanitizer. I was amazed how stocked Rouses was compared to Walmart when this all started here.
