Chick in front of me said, "oh we probably need chips," and got fricking 10 cans of pringles. It is insane.
Was she fat? I'm trying to tell you guys, fatties love disasters like this because it's one of the few times they can load up the shopping cart(s) and not feel judged. Those 4 packs of Chips Ahoy will be gone by Monday morning.

I filled up two shopping carts of canned goods because you never know when the retard hoarders are going to buy up everything and create a shortage.

Friend,
I purchased about $500 in groceries this week because I want to be somewhat self sufficient for the next few weeks. I don’t pretend to know the future. A month ago most of us would have laughed if someone predicted the NBA, NHL, and NCAA would cancel all events. Could some stores close? Maybe. Could some of us be forced into home quarantine? Absolutely. I want to be prepared and not have to rely on charity or government to support me when they could support someone far more important and in need.
What do we lose by stocking up on food items that will be good for the next year or two? It’s a cheap hedge.
Pascal’s famous and misunderstood wager argument for God can be applied here, since most of us live in the realm of the logical, as opposed to the realm of faith. What do we lose by belief in God if God does not exist? What do we gain by belief in God if God does exist?
If life returns to normal in April what do we lose by having a six month supply of rice, beans, and Le Sueur peas? If society and its systems collapse, what do we gain by having these items?
It’s cheap insurance for catastrophe. But unlike the insurance that is never claimed when there isn’t an accident, this insurance has value and use regardless of circumstantial outcome.
And I love any excuse to buy lots of food at Walmart and Sams.
Sincerely,
TulaneLSU

Oh she was an absolute tank and this was her shot at "disaster shopping". Tons of powerade, dr. pepper, chips, pizza rolls...all the dumb shite.

I'm dead serious. Land whales love judge-free "disaster prep" shopping.

I went to Walmarks this morning at 6:30 to avoid the riots and I bought enough rice, beans and sardines to feed my family for a month.
Feels good man.

I'm honored, will you accept these, my most prized socks, as a token of my gratitude?

Do they make hot pockets with just meat inside wrapped in meat?
Yes, actually they do. Not called hot pockets though. They're made by Real Good Food or something. Rouses and sometimes Walmart carries them. It's really like a burrito/enchilada, but instead of a tortilla it's wrapped in really thin chicken. They're really good.

Even on the rare chance that happens there will still be a means to get food.

The "Realgood" brand is some of the worst crap I've ever had.

You obviously don’t live in Baton Rouge or New Orleans. This is a threat without emergency situations.
