We dine there pretty often already and know the manager.  I'll be supporting them however I can.

Because I have a kamado grill, and because the Kamado Joe charcoal is a great deal [at least at Costco road shows], I keep my eyes open every time I'm running low to buy in bulk. Last time (late January) I bought 240 lbs of charcoal and I still have 180+ left. So I'm good there.

I have to drive down to San Diego to drop off some products at a customer because it's too important to waste even a day shipping it overnight from Irvine.

The customer [like us] is currently not allowing supplier visits, so this might be me setting them down on the ground in the parking lot and slowly backing away so they can pick them up once I'm 6' away lol...

My route takes me right past Stone in Escondido, which is closed for on-site dining but open for takeout and to-go (beer or food) orders. What I can't seem to figure out is whether that includes growler fills--the Stone company store (where they fill growlers) is listed as closed... So I'll have to call them from the car after they open.

The Kroger here has put a limit of 3 packages of meat per customer.  Other than meat we haven’t really had any trouble finding anything. If one store is out there seems to be another that has it. We haven’t needed TP yet.  My wife has our TP delivered periodically and we have a case of 36 rolls we haven’t even opened yet.

I bet most of us can go a month in a pinch IF we have the ability to boil water.  This place is all electric.  My fancy range would be dead weight if we lose power.

They do have picnic grills in the park that I could use in extremis if I can get charcoal.
We have 4 containers of propane, so I can grill for a long time with that. It gets hot enough to boil water too, thank you Weber.

Went for a Costco run last night, and it wasn't particularly crazy, but it wasn't particularly well-stocked either. Plenty of beer and wine though ;-)

I found this funny - at the grocery store, all of the ground beef was gone.  Ground turkey was nearly fully stocked.  I got plenty.

I went around yesterday afternoon on a TP hunt.  None at  2 Walmarts.  Okay, gotta get clever.  None at Staples.  Hmm.  None at the big Asian grocery store.  Damn.  
So I'm actually having my brother mail me some.  How nuts is that?

He runs an organic grocery store and had a lady trying to buy 2 cart-fulls of TP.  He kindly refused her.

the breweries here won't fill an outside growler, but will fill one if I purchase new from them

Hopefully the package will be discrete. Otherwise, you know, lost in the mail and all that.

Only problem here in Houston is bottled water and baby wipes

Other then that Kroger has come through so far
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I'm waiting until next week to hit the stores. Hopefully the hoarders will run out of storage space by then. Assholes.
