    From my family trip Sunday:

    HEB opens at 8 am: (limit 2 on bathroom tissues, limits on essentials). They had waters when I went in

    Walmart opens at 6 am : Bought 1 case of Ozarka when they were loading pallets of waters around 10 am. Not sure on limits.

    Costco : Friend bought me 1 case of Ozarka

    The Asian supermarkets. Most people are afraid to go there.

    Went to my local Walmart and wanted to shoot myself. Why the hell did I need that weed killer that bad? My perception of disgusting people amplified even more now with the epidemic- coughing and sneezing with an open mouth with no attempt to cover it. Got in and got the **** out.

    I stocked up on all my major purchases at Costco 2 weeks ago. Now I’ve just been dropping in convenience stores for eggs/milk/bread/ice cream

    Kroger open 7am. I couldn't wait at Rayford.

    Wal-Mart Sawdust had Sam's water 1 pallet and around 30 of the 1 gallon Osaka

    Kroger on Polk. At 7:30 am had 32 count water 2 for $7. Around 30 packs

    Picked up 2 each for unprepared friends or cash strapped friends. And I didn't see toilet paper. Checking back tonorrow.

    here in se asia, the only things out are hand sanitizers and masks. but the tradeoff is that people are uneducated assholes who have no basic hygiene etiquettes. so stepping outside your home is like walking into chemical warfare

    This really. Wife went and there’s barely any one there in the morning and almost fully stocked. If you don’t want to go to China town there’s HMart & 99 ranch in Katy and sugar land

    I went to the Kroger's off of Montrose yesterday around 8:30/9:00 a.m. and there was quite a bit of food. The only thing that they were low on was bread / pastas / can foods.

    I'm baffled as to how that still remains the main thing stores can't keep in stock. As little as I've been out, that's the one thing I've seen people running in looking for, asking when going to be in stock. I want to ask them how much more they need, or did they just happen to run out rn or what.

    You never can be too prepared with hurricane season right around the corner lol.

    Seriously though, it is unnecessary to stockpile ****, especially water!

    From my experience Saturday morning, Sprouts is a slept on supermarket with a decent amount of selection left on the shelves and not a crazy amount of shoppers... I would imagine maybe Trader Joes's would be similar?
