Just and FYI for everybody, this is why slowly stock piling is essential. Always try to buy an extra few things every grocery shop, even if it's only 1 or 2 cans of veggies, or a marked down package of meat. Anyone can be stocked piled for months, it just takes time.

[@annetteholmes3491]

[@darlene72086]

I agree 100% with that , It does not take much to stock up a little at a time !

Exactly, so people like this board don't wipe out the shelves like everyone else is doing, thanks from those of us who would like to do a normal shopping trip!

[@momofseven7098]

You are so right. I have a large family and when news of this mess started I did my normal weekly shop plus a few extra snacks (muffin mixes, snack cakes, etc) and went home. I have spent the last few years getting a little extra every time I went shopping so I have a full pantry and I didnt have to worry about trying to find basic essentials while possibly exposing myself and/or my children to a virus.

[@debbieventimiglia2216]

I stocked up on flour, yeast, for making bread, corn meal, oil, rice, beans, canned tomato paste, canned fruit, powered milk, apples, lemons, as a source of vitamin c, ( you can cut up your apples, squeeze lemon juice on them and freeze your fruit, bananas, ) I bought a water filter so I wouldn't have to go back out and buy water. Peanut butter, potatoes, onions, carrots, cabbage. These items along with pasta, is very inexpensive and will make homemade breads, meals, soups, breakfasts, dinners, lunches, I also bought oatmeal and cream of wheat, hamburger, and chicken quarters, I think the idea of stocking up with basics is so we don't have to run to the store for bread, or milk, or anything, we all need to stay at home.

[@cindysams9832]

We are getting contradictory advice. They say not to stock up because the grocery stores will have food but then they say STAY HOME. If we are expected to stay home for a few weeks (which is a good idea) then obviously you need to buy supplies for a few weeks. I keep well stocked at all times which is a good thing to do when you have a family. You never know what's going to happen. I don't think she bought too much, however, you can boil and cool water for baby formula. No need to buy water for that.

[@sweezs4874]

Cindy Sams, you have to do what’s better or your family and self, if you need food and supplies by them, it’s best to have them be with out

[@sharonlloyd5954]

We are told to stay home from doing unnecessary things , keep a safe distance from people wash hands protect yourself and others as best you can, grocery stores will remain open as will pharmacy's and we can go to dr appointments for now.

I have a family of 6 and I started preparing when I heard about the virus in China. My SO thought it wasn’t a big deal and we shouldn’t worry🙄🙄. I sent him out to get a few things last Friday and he said the shelves were empty. He was able to get a good amount of things. Family helped with other things since they stockpile throughout the year. There’s nothing wrong with being prepared. Hoarding is the problem. I would not call this haul hoarding. The grocery stores would not be empty if people took the virus seriously in the beginning rather than waiting until the last minute to all bombard the stores.

[@DoubleDaysFamily]

I wholeheartedly agree with what you said and love your thinking!!! I couldn't relate to this more! We are a family of 7 and stocking up slowly each visit helps out tremendously ❤️

Unbelievable! First thing you say is "everything is gone" .....gee I wonder why? Have you not seen & heard what they keep repeating over & over on the news? I just can't understand why people do this because whether it's a 10 day quarantine or 100 day quarantine we will always be allowed to go to the grocery store for food! That's why all the supermarkets are empty because of this & everyone "PANIC BUYING". Really really wish people would STOP this ridiculous panic buying. So frustrating! Honestly!

[@theoutsiderspost4982]

There is no reason to buy this much food right now. The stores are fine, as long as we do not buy like this. It is ridiculous. Grocery stores will not shut down. Even in Italy, they keep groceries and pharmacies open. You are fine

[@alaskaporkchop]

TheOutsidersPost The idea behind stocking up is so you can stay home and out of the stores! People just aren’t getting it.

[@rikkiburpee1564]

TheOutsidersPost she probably doesn’t want to have to go out, that the whole idea of self quarantining/shelter in place...only going out if absolutely NECESSARY. If she doesn’t have to take extra trips to the grocery store that’s a plus. Not to mention growing kids can eat a hell of a lot of food when they’re home from school for a couple weeks. Personally we’re stuck at home for 6, one down, 5 more to go and I’m glad I bought extra stuff because I don’t want to have to go to the grocery stores if I don’t have to...it’s one thing to just buy completely random stuff in a panic, but buying things your family WILL eat is another. Also, there’s always the possibility of a friend or family member falling ill and needing something. A porch drop off would be able to happen without contact or anyone needing to go shopping for stuff.

[@twdjt6245]

Still better than risking exposure going to the grocery stores as often as you normally would... if stores will stay open then should be no problem for those who don’t want to or can’t stock up.

[@tonyakeldsen1782]

Listen this is not an enormous amount of food for one, for another thing why should be put the well being of our families in your hands based on your opinions. This is an average monthly supply of food for a family with children AND the biggest point of stocking up is for people to self quarantine and stay out of public, not run to the store every time you need something. SO this lady has it right and I wish people would stop telling other what the hell is right for them. It is not like she is loading up a tractor trailer.

[@theoutsiderspost4982]

You do know there is a difference between prepping and hoarding.... People who buy all that in one transaction during a time of panic. Are the problem. My wife managed a grocery store for years and I found out that this type of buying is being done by thousands of people. There in lies your problem. You should of been prepared and not have waited until the last moment. I have been prepping for years and people thought I was crazy for keeping as much food around. But now it’s not so crazy is it? When I made that comment things were pretty bad and now guess what the grocery stores have been fine ever since. Sure there are some items that are hit or miss. But the grocery stores survived and did just fine no need to over by only get what you absolutely need. When you take more than what is necessary you are hurting others that cannot afford to buy in bulk like you did.

I don’t see why everyone is saying she overshopped? She buys a lot of stuff once a month or 2 months, can’t remember so this is no different. She didn’t stockpile really if you ask me. I’m in a state where things are slowly shutting down completely and I don’t have kids I have enough for a month because the reality is that we don’t know how long these shutdowns and quarantines will last. She is PREPARED. She has children. I started preparing when I saw China was shutting down. You either prepare yourself now or prepare to possibly perish. This is what she would need if she can’t get out of the house for an extended period of time and I suggest you do the same. You don’t have to clear the shelves, just make sure you’re prepared.
