I went to a store last week and an order they had pulled had 2000 pounds of rice, 500 pounds of dried red beans and about 40 #10 cans of different fruits.

Costco BR has a woman holding a sign as you enter telling you they have no toilet paper, water, hand sanitizer, etc. I just came back from there.

I will admit to stocking up our deer camp in case it gets bad. With Turkey season starting next weekend and me being retired, it’s a win, win. Oh and if gets really bad, I bought a bunch of corn husks for tamales. Double duty.

Corona beer sales are down 38% this year. Sale on horizon.

I bought a couple of cans of Clorox wipes. I mean, I was out so I would have bought them anyway but it should still qualify since there were only a handful left.

I had to actually go into a fricking Walmart today bc the grocery pickup that we ordered was out. I go into that Walmart and they’re all out of bottled water. Gallon jugs for days, but no bottles.

I swear I feel like I'm the only smart person on this planet sometimes.

I'd have so much respect for her if her sign just said "Welcome to Costco. I love you."

I have a couple half gallons of bourbon, a carton of smokes and a dozen or so cans of SpaghettiOs so I guess I can hold out a little while.

but it amazes me that people have gone apeshit in buying fricking hand sanitizer. Like wtf are you gonna use 2 gallons of it for?

To sanitize your peenoodle after washing off the lube that you bought with the bottled water that you bought.

Went to an O'Charley's for lunch today while out. We got there at 11:44am, no one in there eating. Had our lunch, and left about 12:35, and no one had come in behind us.

Is it really that bad out there?

I’m a man. My freezer stays stocked with whitetail, axis & redfish.

If need be, I’ll wipe my rear with a leaf

I swung by McD's for an egg mcmuffin earlier this morning. It is usually pretty busy on a saturday morning, but there was only one other person there this morning. They still fricked up my order, though.

Went to Costco yesterday for some routine items. Wife and I eat the healthy, organic stuff so there was plenty of our regular items available

I grabbed a bag of frozen broccoli. It’s a 4 lb bag. A woman rushed past me and loaded her cart with 6 bags. 24 pounds of broccoli. Maybe she had a large family. I don’t know. It was just incredibly selfish.

Looking at people’s carts, Convid-19 will stand for the 19 pounds people will gain will in quarantine.
