The residents not working at an essential business are to stay home, only going out for groceries/food, medical needs, or to help someone whose care they are responsible for.
I went to Meijer this morning during their "senior hour". I arrived at 7:10 a.m. The first thing I headed for was hand sanitizer, but there was none on the shelves. After picking up a few more things on that side of the store, I headed for groceries.
My sister-in-law had asked me to buy a few things for her including a package of toilet paper. Not a single roll of tp was on the shelf. In fact, that aisle had one package of Sparkle paper towels and about 6 packages of napkins along one side. Imagine how much empty shelf space that is. There were no cold-cuts for sandwiches either. They did have a good selection of cereal. I found a box of my brand and also her two brands. Frozen vegetables and pizzas wiped out. I really went to get fresh produce, and I had no trouble finding an ample supply of what I wanted in that department. I dropped in at 3 other stores looking for tp, but none was to be found. I gave my sister-in-law one of our mega rolls; with what she already had, she will be OK for 3-4 weeks now.
I will probably go pick up some produce and maybe eggs and a few other things in 10 days. Otherwise I am staying out of stores. My husband and I plan to order from a restaurant on Sunday for pick-up. Tomorrow will be mid-50s and sunny so I will go for an afternoon walk around my neighborhood. I bought a little pot of pink tulips.
Pretty tulips. We have to stay home starting Thursday. Stores are getting restocked a bit. Still no TP or hand sanitizer. Hubby did the grocery shopping today - an eye opener for him. Only frozen vegetables were corn, peas, and okra. You would think okra would be more popular here in the South.
