Yesterday we went to Krogers and people were telling us not to go into the store unless we wanted to wait 1 hour in as half in line. We walked in to see for ourselves and the lines was near the door. It was crazy inside and the same at meijer. We left the store.
The snow storm is makung everyone concerned about not being able to get out of the house.
Stores are running out of certain foods due to the demand. :crybaby2: :snowflake:

How true .. lol

wow ,,,glad its not like that here!...... :o

We are suppose to get snow and possibly ice here too in North to Central Georgia. The cut off line is where we live. I haven't even thought about trying to go to the grocery store but probably need too. It gets crazy here because we seldom get any snow so our State isn't really that equipped to handle it.
-
It is crazy in my area. People will go buy out all the milk and bread even if they are only calling for flurries. People get ridiculous when they are calling for snow. I understand needing items in case of a big snow storm, but people take it overboard.
-
I know. I went to the store yesterday to get organization things, workout clothes, and some basic groceries for me and my friend and it was a mad house. There was litterally no fruit in the produce area and some of the other shelves were completely stripped of products. It took us nearly 20 minutes to get out of the store and they had every line going at Target and at Meijers. I realize that they said it's going to snow like crazy in a bit, but this is a little overkill. I'm from Michigan, so snow isn't going to prevent me from leaving my house to get something if I need it.
-
Huh, I was just at the store and it wasn't that bad. Thankfully!
-
Wow I would love to see the line in a video xD but dam that sucks and that long of a wait just wow.
-
I work at Walmart and today there were so many people there shopping. They were getting everything. A lot of the bread was gone. And now they have called off the winter strom warning. Go figure. At least they have food in the house and that is a good thing. Hope everyone has a wonderful week and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

I always have supplies set aside here, although we don't get a lot of snow. But what happens is the freeway gets closed because of a big town on up on the caprock that gets a lot of snow, and ice. So if they close there it comes back down on us and when all motels get closed here then everyone else is stopped about 52 miles from us. And yes our dinky grocery store and the convience store will be sold out. This happens about every 3 years.

After having lived in Colorado for a few years, we got into the habit of having a 2 or 3 day supply of items, besides the normal groceries in the freezer. Milk freezes great, and any items that are medically necessary for anyone in our family at the time (baby formula, medications). Our family has law enforcement personnel and runs a lot of gas/diesel/propane stations. So we had to be pretty self sufficient since half of the family was out helping others.

unless it starts snowin and doesn't quit for a month, i think i will be ok lol
-
Wow! I hope prices don't go up because of the demand.
Usually whenever there's a super long line, I wait in line and my sister/mom does the shopping. Then we switch halfway to get the ones I want. and then by the time they're done, It's almost our turn or we're next in line.
-
We do a large food shopping every Monday so we were pretty well stocked before the stormy weather, so did not have to run out for anything and wait in line!

I don't get it. Why do people flock to the stores and fight over bread, milk, and eggs. It is just so stupid. Most of the people who do it already have milk and bread and eggs, and food for the week. WHY run to the store and buy more? You aren't going to be snowed in for 3 months. People need to get a grip and quit freaking out. Heaven help us if there is ever a real emergency in this country.

I also don't get the people who fuss and cry about having to stand in line (and I am guessing an hour and a half is a huge exaggeration) because people are there stocking up on crap when they are doing the same thing. They just justify why they need milk. lol. I have worked in grocery stores before and the mention of a stray snow flurry send people into a huge panic. And those same idiots are out in the snow playing and wrecking their cars because they wanted to try the snow out.
-
Happens every storm- selective shopping works- Walmart was packed and Target was easy going. Shop at out of the normal places.
-
I work for a supermarket and I saw the line actually out the door. I'm talking about wall to wall people.
-
I always try and store items in my garage. Extra cokes...water....soups. It really is a good idea. Good luck with the cold weather....I live in Southern Oregon and I was outside this evening in a tshirt...we are getting some well needed rain. Enjoy the day.

We don't deal with snow in Florida, but when a hurricane is on the way, it's best to stock up several days in advance. Our city once ran out of gasoline 3 days in advance of a hurricane.

Sorry to hear that. I am surprised to know that there is a actual Krogers grocery I always thought it was just a supply company. I think in CA Ralph's and Food 4 less is a sister company because I buy Kroger products for less. I pray that your weather get better and as always be safe. :)

It amazes my everytime. if there is any kind of storm coming people go into panic mode and hit the grocrey stores. We had 12 plus inches of snow last week. The mojority fell thurs into Friday. Everyone was able to get out on Saturday and many were able to get out Friday afternoon.
I do have a minor disablity which makes hard to getaround in the wintertime. As a result i have at least 7-10 days of none perishable food
I guess the majority of people can't plan more than 1 day in advance which creates panic at the grocrey store.

You know, anything can happen. A snow storm in winter, a tornado in the summer. Or as crazy as our world is any kind of terrorist attack. I am not saying to be like the peppers and have 10 years of food stored up but it makes sense to have enough food to make it at least a week if something were to happen and you can't get to the store. And, I'd be willing to bet most people do have enough food to make it thru a snow storm even if they don't go to the store. But it's not stuff they want.
-
I'm not having that issue where I live. I don't have children so even if there was a snowstorm I would be ok.
-
It you could coordinate with your neighbors and so that each family doesn't have to take a trip to the store.
-
Jiuchan, what a great way to get your shopping done and not have to stay all day.
-
I went to the grocery store a week ago last saturday and the lines were the same at Meijer. At least 8-10 people in each lane waiting...I thought it was INSANE.... We did get a "winter storm" but I thought it was still insane. The media freaks people out- thinking they will be locked in their houses for days.... I don't listen- I buy what I need and if I get stuck, I will find SOMETHING to eat/ drink. :rainbow:

I shop online for food.

I grew up in the Northeast, I get it. People panic easily. My brother lives in Michigan and he says they've been snowed in three times this winter. Glad I'm in the Southwest. I don't miss it one bitl :snowflake: :snowflake: :snowflake:

That is a great idea. If that happens here I'll have to try it.
