I drove into town this morning and did my grocery shopping at Tops
Market, got everything I needed and a few items more with no fuss
whatsoever... they had Ronzoni pasta at 10 for $1, got a few kinds.
Why can't you drive to the closest local market to shop??? I order
items on line but only when I want bulk and items by the case... I
can't be bothered to order picyune items for delivery, just causes
grief... you deserve the grief. I do much better picking out my own
produce and meats... but if I want a case of #10 cans of tomatoes that
I'll order on line, comes right to my door, same with bulk cat/bird
food. I don't even want delivery for one schtinkin head of lettuce.
I'll bet our monthly Chewy bill (~$400) is more than your monthly
grocery bill, Julie you are not well, I mean mentally.
We've never considered ordering a loaf of bread on line to be
delivered... perhaps from a local corner bakery.

Popeye, Tops market is certainly the finest store in the universe.
But they don't have a huge chain, so most folks can't enjoy the
bliss of buying there.

Because we're on lockdown and not supposed to leave our house. I am in the
high risk group and due to my impending surgery, I have to be extra careful
not to get sick. So I am avoiding people. I did go to the dentist where
Angela works and also to get my hair trimmed as the general consensus is
that Governor Inslee will put us on further lockdown soon and close those
places. I don't want to have to go months without another haircut.

You are right in that I'm not well, but it's all medical. Not mental.

I tried Chewy once. Too expensive. Wasn't worth it. I get the Target brand
cat litter. I get treats and foods at Walmart. Jazzy only eats dry food.

Things should settle down with the online orders once people stop the
hoarding. Right now, they still are. And due to restrictions on in store
shopping, it's far quicker and easier to have the food delivered. I did make
a quick stop at the bread store last week only because I wasn't having luck
finding bread anywhere else. They didn't have what I wanted, but I did get
some bread and there is still a little bit left.

Chewy's prices are substantially lower than anywhere else, they carry
every major brand with a huge selection of dried, they carry food for
all critters; fish, chickens, horses, gerbils etc., and deliver for
free. Besides foods they carry many critter associated products from
fish tanks, bird cages, feeding bowls, and lots of pet toys. They
carry many brands of cat litter and at lower prices than anywhere
else.

>Things should settle down with the online orders once people stop the

I've not seen any signs of hoarding... for items we buy in quantity we
shop at BJs, they sell cleaning products by the gallon/case... they
sell TP in bulk, all you want. We buy Dawn dish washing liquid in
gallon jugs. We buy in bulk for the cash savings, always costs a lot
less. It's no biggie to refill the small Dawn bottle from the gallon
jug. I still see people buying single rolls of TP... they'd almost do
better wiping with dollar bills.
With all the hand washing recommended I wash my hands with Dawn, does
a very good job and no irritation, I figured if it's good for washing
crude oil from birds I'd try it, works very well, I even use Dawn for
shampoo, costs less than the name brand shampoos and need to use less
than half as much. Actually I now put a few drops of Dawn on my
washcloth and bathe with Dawn, does a great job, lots of lather, and
is very mild... also rinses off much better... at the same time cleans
your tub and no soap film.

I've heard of BJs. We don't have them here. I hate buying giant sizes of
most things as they are too hard to heft around. I get a case of small
bottles of laundry soap from Boxed. They are the store brand of some big box
store but I couldn't tell you which one. They fit on the skinny cart in my
laundry room.

The reason for the hoarding here is that we are on lockdown. We are not
supposed to leave the house. Some people (younger, no medical problems) are
going to the store but no vey often so they stock up as much as they can. Or
Governor has also said (although not in an official press conference) that
he might shut the grocery stores down and at one point some time ago,
instructed us to stock up on two month's worth of provisions. Then he
wonders why people are hoarding,

BJ's is the same as Costco and Sam's Club.

I went Monday and there was not a paper towel or toilet tissue to be had.

Hoarding started again when the news said it may be in short supply soon
so everyone ran out and bought up. Crazy, no matter how you normally
shop you only crap so much a week so no reason to have a two year supply
on hand.

I found some store-brand toilet paper last week and grabbed it - an
18 roll pack. Got it home and realized it was scented: Lavender -
John's favorite. I hate it. It schtinks. I hate that smell of
Lavender Fabuloso, an this shit smells the same.

Arrghh Steve. I accidently bought that lavendar scented TP twice and
it's so very nasty. I've learned to look closely at the wrappers.

Default Toilet paper again (WAS: Weirdness with Walmart delivery)

I love the scent of lavender but I don't think I'd like scented TP.
Never did care for printed flowers on toilet paper, either. That was a
"thing" (briefly) back in the day. Don't need pretty flowers printed on
toilet paper, or on paper towels. I digress...

One day shortly after this whole hoarding thing started back in March,
after the TP disappeared from even Walmart shelves, I was at the gas
station convenience store looking for Slim Jims. (kidding!) A thought
popped into my head: I wonder if they have toilet paper? Yep! Cheap,
never heard of brand, four roll packs. Apparently no one ever thinks
about buying TP at a gas station convenience store.

Paranoid much? That's not going to happen.
Food and medicine are necessities.
Besides, vaccines are approved and on the way soon.

Speaking of hoarding. I went to the grocery store yesterday. As I
entered the store, one woman was leaving the checkout with a basket full
of toilet paper and paper towels. I guess they don't have limits anymore
like a couple of weeks ago.

Anyway, while I was shopping, here was that same woman back in the store
with a new grocery cart buying regular food.

Marvin 8:12-17

And it came to pass that jesus lifted up his robes and pounded the
holy sausage before the multitude. They all marveled when it
squirted. And they knelt to prey.

This I give unto ye, that ye may become wise unto mens.
And ye shall go forth and make thy sausage.

But ye shall never use mystery meat.

And ye shall never eat thy neighbor's sausage. Yeah, Ye may eat his
wife's squirting pussy, but not his sausage which he hath pounded.

Yeah, verily, I say unto ye that whosoever blasphemes the holy
sausage law shall be put to death.
