Well done. We purchased a couple of boxes of Kleenix last week. Today I noticed, for the first time, the shelves are empty.

And they were just filling the dairy cases with milk and orange juice.

I was able to grab one 1/2 gallon of orange juice and 2 half gallons of skim milk

Of course I am concerned about Bryan considering his job. He named a bunch of other conditions that scared him more than this. He really is calm about the whole thing. He seemed more concerned that they will let him stay home from work if he is sick.

As it turned out, everyone attended book group tonight via conference call and it went very smoothly. At the end our leader Sharon directed us to our own kitchens for refreshments, so I’m having some ice cream.

So, now markets, in order to stop at least some of the insanity, are only letting in small groups of people at a time. At Ralph's, the line to get in on the bottom parking level was very long. And I guarantee you ever person waiting in that line has probably been there every day doing their thing.

After work I decided to stop by the local BJs warehouse (like Costco) it’s right up the road from my house

vixmom · « **Reply #103 on:** March 19, 2020, 05:46:40 PM »

There were very few people there

The mass-steria is unbelievable and if people would just STOP on Facebook, calm down, and not feed this, it would be ever so much better.

The employee at the door pulled out a Clorox wipe and wiped the shopping cart handle when I came in

vixmom · « **Reply #106 on:** March 19, 2020, 05:48:38 PM »

They had paper towels that they were limiting to 2 packages per person. There are twelve rolls in a package so I just took one

vixmom · « **Reply #107 on:** March 19, 2020, 05:49:37 PM »

And I already had 4 rolls of paper at home

vixmom · « **Reply #108 on:** March 19, 2020, 05:52:28 PM »

When vixdad came home he had a 8 pack of paper towels that he found in a little shop near his office

So we went from being well prepared to hoarders but they won’t go bad so....

vixmom · « **Reply #110 on:** March 19, 2020, 05:54:40 PM »

They also had six packs of tissues at BJs so I bought one of those (there was a 2 pack limit there as well)

Along with the canned goods in the pantry If we do fall ill and get quarantined we’re good for about 3 weeks of food now

Today, I want to pop into work to pick up the cat food that I had ordered from Amazon, but I'm not exactly sure how long the mail clerk or anyone else will be in the building. I can get into the building when it's completely locked up, but I might as well try to get there when someone official might be there. We'll see if I do.

Well, I didn't make it in to work.

I slept later than expected, but I did get out of the house, at least.

Oh, and I stopped by the church because I had 8 bottles of apple juice in my car I had bought for coffee hour before we stopped gathering

George · « **Reply #114 on:** March 19, 2020, 05:59:25 PM »

I went to Costco and ended up getting some Kleenex (one 10-pack), some protein shakes ($5 off each, limit 2) and foil.

George · « **Reply #115 on:** March 19, 2020, 05:59:59 PM »

They were still out of tp!! I don't actually need any (I have almost 2 dozen individual rolls). I just keep checking to see when they might still be in stock after the morning rush.

I also renewed my Costco membership. I have the executive membership, and with the rebate that I got back, it only cost me $9.80 out of pocket! I share my membership with my friend David, so we both contribute to racking up those points.

When I put them away I saw that there was 10 lb bag of sugar I had bought 2 weeks ago that was never opened...and since we’re not having coffeehour again until at least May, and since I hadn’t put in my request for reimbursement yet....

George · « **Reply #118 on:** March 19, 2020, 06:01:27 PM »

After Costco, I stopped at Happy Teriyaki and got a Love Salad to go (you weren't here, jan!) and then came home and ate my salad.

TOD:

Banquet Frozen Meals....especially the Meatloaf and the Salisbury Steak dinners. Small, but easy for a quick lunch or dinner.

I couldn't think of which ones I liked best, but I think that both these are it for me, too!
