grocery store trip
Went there last Thursday and completely empty shelves of TP and paper
towels. Went there this morning and plenty for everyone. Cool. They do have a 2 package limit to prevent hoarding, thankfully. |

I've seen comments on local Chicago food blogs about this, one quoted a Costco manager as saying, "It's like locusts descended on us..." Follow - up comments note that on return visits the stores are quickly re - stocked, some with quantity limits... Me, I primarily shop online, if I see something that may in future be scarce, I order it...I am very well - stocked with all provisions so far... -- Best Greg |

Last Saturday they had plenty of paper goods, but some were weird brands and the off-brand paper towels in particular looked really chintzy. They didn't have my preferred TP, so I decided I'd wait until they have it again. I've been keeping a little extra in stock ever since April. Limit 2. It was also limit 2 in the meat department.

Not my choice of size of paper towels but I have plenty at home so it was no big deal to me. In the same aisle is toilet paper and it was almost bare, just a few packs. Thankfully, I did not need that either but I did not see any signs with a limit to how many of either could be purchased. |

There's also hardly any corona anymore. Knock on wood. |
