Marv's Neighbor Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Wanted to see if it was really that bad? Costco had a note at the door that they had no bottled water or toilet paper. Other than that, it seemed pretty normal, or as normal as could be expected on a Sunday. Wegmans did have bottled water with a 2 case per limit. Surprised to see that the Pop & chips were very much depleted but not entirely gone. Didn't go as far as the toilet paper aisle but all seemed to be very normal and orderly. Considering all the apparent hysteria on the news, it was a very pleasant surprise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I went food shopping today. The usual Sunday run. Plenty of fresh foods but gaping shelves where toilet paper, cereals, canned soup and Kraft mac & cheese were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Mark Poloncarz anno7nced that he talked to all the big grocery stores and they said that their food supply is not impacted so there is no need to bulk buy food. Hopefully that message will start getting out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Noted at No Frills Fort Erie the other day, plenty of soups, stews, canned goods on the shelves. Noted plenty of shoppers’ carts overflowing with snack foods and sodas. ? Edited March 15, 2020 by Ridgewaycynic2013 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) My wife went to a HUGE Publix this morning a mile east of us. It was better than a couple days ago, but still very, very limited. On a whim, she went to a much smaller Publix a couple miles to the west. TOTALLY different experience. It looked like business as usual other than TP and sanitizer/wipes. Go figure! Yesterday I mentioned to the cashier at the big one than I had been there the day before. Her eyes got huge and she said “DID YOU SEE THAT???” I had never seen anything like Friday at that store! Things are improving. There is a Costco about 3 miles away. I have’t gone by there because......I’d have to park about 3 miles away. It’s bad there on a “good day”. I’m not even trying now. .

Within the last two years, they opened a Costco in Stoney Creek, and both it and the St. Catharines store are likewise jammed at the best of times. I would not even dare venture out there during this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Joshin' Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Stopped at a Sam's Club this AM when they opened. We were 150th in line. No TO or eggs (luckily not needed) but a selection of meat and bottled water available. This is in a county with no reported cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be canned soup, canned vegetables, etc. were go to staples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop, snack foods, and delivery pizza are the sole source of foods in many households anymore. Must be the schools stopped with the talks on the food pyramid and food groups in general quite some time ago. I buy very little in the way of processed foods. I alternate between bananas and oranges and orange juice and grape juice at a minimum. Grapes help with heart health which is somewhat of an issue on my mother's side of the family.

I think the issue would be if people are forced into full quarantine like Italy where it won't matter how much food the grocery stores have if you can't leave your house to go get it... 1 hour ago, Ridgewaycynic2013 said: Within the last two years, they opened a Costco in Stoney Creek, and both it and the St. Catharines store are likewise jammed at the best of times.

Well every week it seems things change as to what you should and shouldn't be eating and what is and isn't healthy. Apparently if you believe in Keto, Pork Rhines are healthier then eating some fruits or bread..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
