Dh went out on Saturday for a few things at Walmart. TP was nowhere to be found, same with paper products. Eggs have been hit or miss the last 2 weeks (none on Saturday). Air fresheners have been cleaned out for weeks, as with dishwashing detergent and soaps. Thankfully we got a big bottle last month that should last another few weeks at the pace we use it.

Hand sanitizer..
Paper towels..
Every time I've gone out the stores have been well stocked. I found my flour fine. My issue is the limits, which I totally understand and agree with; we have a larger family with 6 people.

There is a little out of the way bulk food store by me and it had everything in stock. At this store everything has always been prepackaged in containers so there is no bins. They had - flour (all kinds), yeast, noodles (all kinds), hand sanitizer, rice, all baking products, all spices, everything was in stock. I was actually a little giddy when I was in there.
I saw that bulk Barn has started doing online ordering. They have it all ready for you in 2 hours and you just go in and pay.

I just went to the store a couple of hours ago and they had nothing on my list. <sigh>

Toilet paper and hand sanitizer are still hard to find although toilet paper is starting to come back in stock. No hand sanitizer anywhere.

DH went to the store a few days ago, and he mentioned getting some more yeast so we could start making bread again. He couldn’t find any, so he just bought bread. 😂 I thought it was funny and kinda ironic.

In our area in MA:

TP
King Arthur Flour
sanitizing wipes
hand sanitizer
Lysol anything
Bleach
Dry beans
Sushi rice
Paper Towel rolls

There are some places that stock t, but it sells out fast despite the limit on buying.

We've tried ordering through Amazon but there seems to be no delivery for our area bc so many are ordering this way.

So far, we're ok, even though we are starting to run low.

The stores are pretty much back to normal except the stores are enforcing limits of 2 items per person to purchase
