51. Hubby and I are in the high risk category and we are in our 50s So we bought a month's supply

Sat Mar 14, 2020, 07:53 PM

Mar 2020

like we always do. Teachers get paid once a month so we always shop for a month.

However, we bought a few additional items.

Dried Milk
Rice
Beans
Soup
hash
chili

we did not hoard but did buy a little extra.

We had to go to 4 stores to buy 16 rolls of TP. As a Crohn's girl, I can not go without. But we can stay home for a month if need be. Hubby can WFH but I can't I am going to guess we will extend our Spring Break which started Friday to two weeks. My youngest is a teacher near Seattle-her school is cancelled until April

We could not find any lysol or alcohol. We went to the liquor store and bought some cheap Bourbon .

What I saw that saddened me was people buying baby formula as a milk replacement. My para is a new mother and can't find formula for her baby girl.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
