AKIQPilot Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Not that good in Havasu. I had heard this morning that Safeway was running low or out of everything. Many shelves completely cleaned out. Not just toilet paper and cleaning supplies. We ran out to do some errands so I decided to stop by Walmart. I needed a big gallon of Mobile 1. A quick scan of the meat and chicken section was a bit surreal. Virtually nothing. Not one ounce of ground meat or steaks. Not one single piece of chicken. No eggs. Not a single can of soup or stew or any other kind of meal in a can. Not a single cup of noodles. Almost every freezer was empty. There was one bag of beaf and bean burritos and one bag of chimichangas. I grabbed them both. I grabbed some cheese. I grabbed a few cans of salmon and several cans of sardines. The beer section was completely cleaned out. I bought a 30 of Natural Ice for $15. That was basically all there was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIQPilot Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 One thing very surprising and almost up lifting. The entire chip aisle and the entire soda aisle were completely full, packed to the gills. The candy and cookie aisle were almost the same, no bare shelves at all. All vegetables were fully stocked except potatoes. There are no potatoes in Havasu right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motonoggin Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Not bad so far. People are buying Walmart out of meat daily, but there's still some to be had at other stores. GFS, Aldi, and our local butcher has good stock. I should smoke a couple of butts and freeze some more pulled pork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mileage Psycho Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 @AKIQPilotThe meat counter at the local Jewel was wiped out, but there was pork roast in the cooler section, the parking lot of the local IGA grocer was packed to the gills when I drove by on the way home, my wife said it was like that at 8:00 am. People are scared. I told my office staff to work from home for the week, 85% of them showed up at one time or another, some stayed all day, people like normalcy and staying at home or raiding grocery stores ian't normal.

Its really bad Vince. Covid-19 will cause more bankruptcies than it will kill. Hundreds of thousands, If not millions of people will face serious financial difficulties because of our reaction to this virus. We have only barely seen the devastation.

Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted March 17, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 17, 2020 Aisles in disarray. .....employees had skids on floor trying to restock shelves. Low on produce, hardly any meats, no milk or bread and of course no TP. Surprisingly quite a bit of bottled water available and I also noticed like you did, plenty of junk food.....chips and soda plentiful .

spin_dry Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I went Saturday. Everything except a few items were well stocked. Peanut butter was almost wiped out. There was no Clorox wipes or hand cleaner. I ordered some stuff on amazon. Won’t be here until Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't find them, try Kwiktrip. The usual scum bags in the Twin Cities were pretty picked over yesterday. To get all the normal items I had to go to a few different stores. Walmart had no eggs, frozen pizza, or frozen vegetables. Other things you had to get smaller sizes or off brands. Made chili today out of all my Walmart branded ingredients and it still turned out good! Today I went to the local meat market and got some ground beef and pigs ears to keep the dogs busy. The local grocery store had about everything I needed other than TP. Must have been 20 employees there between cashiers and people stocking shelves. Was happy to find 3 pound packages of hamburger, limit 2, for my wife to make dog food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
