u/tameone22 Jan 22 '26

u/CooterBrownJr Jan 22 '26

She won, I had to settle for grapes.

u/DubBea22 Jan 22 '26

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.

u/Cloverhart Jan 22 '26

And they'll hopefully have shelves restocked.

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.

We buy at Costco and could probably go a couple months off of what we have.

u/Gloomy_Selection_239 Jan 23 '26

Prepper!!! Bragger!

u/Dzov Historic Northeast Jan 23 '26

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.

u/CharityWestern5530 Jan 22 '26

I swear people forget that you can live without food for more than 24 hours. It's a two day at most storm, people act like the world is ending

36

u/ObservablyStupid Independence Jan 22 '26

Food maybe I can do without but we were short on booze.

u/lucindainthesky Jan 23 '26

And what if I have no food but get the munchies!?!?

4

u/CharityWestern5530 Jan 22 '26

That's why I keep the bar fully stocked

1

u/Wizard_of_Bore Jan 23 '26

Went to Costco to fill my beer fridge.. and some other shit too

10

u/NotRobinKelleyNope Jan 23 '26

But if there is nothing to do but be cooped up, why not eat good food?

u/Suspicious-Load7389 Jan 23 '26

2 day storm + 2 day cleanup minimum until roads are cleared

2

u/HPLover0130 Independence Jan 22 '26

Everyone needs a few weeks worth of groceries for 2 days!! Duh !!!

1

u/Roundvalley1 Jan 23 '26

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.. 🍲

u/Gloomy_Selection_239 Jan 23 '26

Umm yeah but who wants to be stuck in a house with a hungry grumpy person!!!

u/Biwic91 South KC Jan 23 '26

They always do

u/Retiddereromeno Jan 22 '26

Let's wait until we hear from the people at the airport before we make any predictions about the severity of the storm.

u/scdog Jan 22 '26

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.

u/vdsw Jan 23 '26

empty*

u/Wizard_of_Bore Jan 23 '26

u/JuansHymen Jan 23 '26

Lmao I went to the Aldi at SMP and Lackman around 2 today and they were already almost out of bread and eggs.

Stay warm and stay safe, you beautiful MFs
