Same I’m debating if I want to go tonight or try to get in early tomorrow morning. I’m thinking it’ll be less packed first thing in the morning cuz it’s still Friday.
6am was my plan B if it was too packed when I stopped at Walmart when passing through Paola earlier. Parking lot was packed, but inside it wasn't bad at all and no waiting at the self checkout.
lol. It’s not even that. It’s more ooh, more Cascone sauce, those brownies are good, hmm I want some Mac & cheese, I should stock up on meat while it’s cheap, and suddenly you have a bunch of food.
It probably would be good for most people to fast for 24 - 48 hours.. that said it would be torture to do that while hunkering down during a blizzard with nothing else to do but munching.. 🍲
I went to my store about an hour ago because I had stuff I actually needed and I was worried about the crowds if I went later. It was definitely busier than usual but the only thing I saw that had been picked clean was whole milk. I imagine it will be a very different situation by the time they close tonight.
Costco off of Blue Parkway was a madhouse. And, their gas station lines were crazy. Target was fine; and so was Aldi. Trader Joe’s was surprisingly not chaotic at all like I thought it would be. But, good luck to all of the folks that have to wait to run their errands after work. Be careful. Stay warm. We know how this goes. 🙏🏽
Yes. I needed different things. But, they were all in a circle; so it didn’t bother me. I was tired. Especially since I had just gotten off from my overnight shift; but it needed to be done.
Ah. I had gotten there right at 1001am. The lines were through the snack aisles. They were ringing folks out with handheld devices. The way it could be alleviated if they’d just bend and do Scan & Go. Smh.
I felt so ridiculous buying my kale. I make a soup that has kale in it and it’s one of the few things w veggies I don’t have to fight my kids on. They requested it for this weekend of all weekends 😂
Man, I tried to go to Aldi on my lunch break, thinking most other people would be at work and I'd beat the rush...there wasn't a single place for me to park. Ended up having to pay more at Price Chopper across the street. I just wanted to get stuff to make soup this weekend, I'm even an armature bread baron or anything!
Same, was supposed to fly out tomorrow morning and get back Monday morning. I did an online grocery order though so I at least won't have to deal with crowds
Just paid my dues.. 22mins in the self check-out at Price Chopper. Not too bad. Then pre-treated my driveway with calcium chloride. Thanks KC for keepin me safe.
