Swing on down to Akron. We have paper products (check Marc's or Acme) but no can do on hand sanitizer. (And Gojo is just miles away in Cuyahoga Falls.) I was in Marc's earlier and overheard a lady ask a sales clerk if it would be crazy for her to ask for hand sanitizer. The clerk laughed at an appropriately distanced 6 feet away.
No Lysol, but we have some. My husband wants another can.
Try Ace Hardware. I needed cleanser on Sunday, would not attempt the grocery but they had everything. Had limits, but they had everything.
My wife shopped today here on Long Island got everything we needed including TP & paper towels no chicken though! Man this is just so fucking taxing on everyone be safe everyone..
Oh, yes. What's with chicken? And flour? Is everyone suddenly going to bake? I actually do and laughed how the flour displays were either empty or close to it.
I work at a grocery store in Kitchener Ontario, we placed limits on almost all high demand products and that along with a somewhat return of people's sanity has allowed us to catch up. When I left, our store was steady but that's normal for the first day of a new flyer. For the most part our shelves are in good shape, produce and dairy well stocked and meat was full of beef and pork, just a little light on chicken. It was definitely better than last week.

"No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead"
Bright side... maybe this will help people move to more plant based foods. In fact the CDC warns that 3 out of 4 new or emerging infectious diseases in people come from eating animals.

I went to CVS to get my son's medication and they appeared to have everything when I looked around their food and supplies area. Don't want to pay pharmacy prices but would if needed
I wonder how many people here panic purchased more than they need?

I haven’t but hope those among us who may have (doesn’t appear that way, from what I’ve read) aren’t scolded. Many lessons have been learned from this, with more to come.
went this morning in suburban Philly. figured it would be better after initial rush last week. it's not. paper product aisle completely empty and only meat products were some pork products. forget any kind of beef in the supermarket. luckily have Colonial Farms Meat Market in the area and that was well stocked for meats. we have plenty of pasta and frozen food so not worried about not having food. i guess food on the shelves was something we took for granted in the US until this moment in time.

fwiw, it IS true the supply chain is fine, however it takes a while to load then unload. at grocery distribution centers. HOURS in fact. and that just manufacturer loads.
I am a truck driver. I saw a higher number of reefer(refrigerated) trailers last night with seals and locks indicating full loads than I see normally. who can say about dry goods loads but am sure its the same.
bread and milk and meat production may take a bit to catch up but will.
just try to be patient and creative with the stuff you already have .

so heres something you that are willing can do
truck stops with restaurants attached are doing drive thru only. no lobby service at all.
what I am asking is go to the closest truck stop and serve as a drive thru taxi service. either take the money and order or let the driver in and he/she can order themselves.
there IS food in the truck stops but prepackaged stuff is so heavily salt laden its ridiculous.

I heard roadside rests are closed in PA. My cousin and I were discussing the impact on truck drivers. Your thoughts?
OP, I know this isn't an empty shelf comment. I apologize.

Pa is recinding that order. yet to decide if they will open the facilities or bring in porta johns. All turnpike locations set to reopen. also determining which rest areas will reopen

fuckers wouldnt even allow parking.......
That's what I wondered. Good to hear that they are rescinding. I know there is to be no gathering more than 10, but people need to use the bathroom and sleep. There is being careful and then there is thoughtless.
The boys across the street are home. One is laid off and the other one is retired, but is a hospital volunteer. (Due to his age, he has been asked to stay home.) Don made us dinner last night. He has told me he is bored, so my guess is that food may be coming across the street at a fairly regular stream. He loves my granola, so I'll make a batch in trade. Gotta love neighbors!

Meijer in Stow was pretty well stocked with everything, too. That was last week, but you may want to check them, too.

Just ordered some fresh vegetables, cheese and breads from Instacart -- when I previously checked it was a 3 day wait, now it shows same day -- and I had to toggle between a few stores but where I ended up (Wegmans) they had something to choose from for all of those categories.
Looks like the re-stocking is fine, here. You could even order toilet paper or tissues, although I didn't as we have plenty of paper products.
In something very unsurprising the stuff my wife asked to order (gluten free, organic, sprouted, grown under a different sun, etc) they had options available as well. I don't think anyone wants that stuff except the people who have to eat it due to their dietary restrictions...so it is good that they have that as well.

I calmly went into a Trader Joes yesterday and purchased eggs, egg whites, bread and some fresh fruits and veggies.
Haven't looked for it but I know TP is sparse.
Such a disgrace.
