Made a run to Sherman Texas today.... Got there just after 2 pm and just returned home.
Drove by Walmart first, but to many cars so was the last stop tonight and the store had a few customers. The stocking guys and gals were stocking all over the store including in the pharmacy area. Vitamins shelves were thin, but being restocked. The prophylactic area was thin as it was after Valentine's Day. Pocket size hand sanitizer was sold out, but standard size bottles of sanitizer were available. The grocery shelves were being restocked, but no empty shelves. Plenty of stocked canned meat. Did not notice anyone with overflowing shopping carts.
At Tractor supply did not see any empty shelves, but was not shopping for masks or nitrile gloves. Acquired additional dog food and dog snacks and chicken scratch and sweet feed for the animals. The DW will have to make a run to Tractor Supply in Paris for chicks since she knows what she wants.
At Lowe's, the only empty shelf was where masks were kept with a sign stating: "Sold out and do not know when there will be a delivery. Sorry."
At Sam's, there were a number of customers, but no crowds. The twenty pound bags of beans were gone, but large bags of beans were available. The rest of the store was adequately supplied except for the large bottles of hand sanitizer probably about twenty to thirty bottles of hand sanitizer. Plenty of stocked shelves in the grocery section and across the store. The Sam's store has been renovated, so having to learn the new layout.
At Kroger's, normal number of customers, but no crowds. Did not see anyone with an overflowing shopping cart but a couple that were full. Shelves were well stocked. Got what I went after, especially the specials.
At Albertson's, normal number of customers, but no crowds. Did not see anyone with an overflowing shopping cart.. Shelves were well stocked. Pork roast was 79 cents per pound, but bought country pork ribs due to preference. Got what I went after, especially the specials and Just For You specials. Again scored 30 cents off a gallon of gasoline.
Specials and Just for You savings was nearly $150.
Did not notice any changes in pricing.
This will be my last run to Sherman for a while. Will be ordering more on line. Orders from earlier in the week are being delivered.
Used hand sanitizer before going into each store and rubbed the shopping cart handle with hand sanitizer and then the provided disinfecting wipes and used hand sanitizer when returned to the car. Used a glove with hand sanitizer on the gas pump nozzle.
Only heard two people cough at Sam's so went a different direction. It is still common flu season.
Deliveries from now on will be sanitized under the car port.
Be careful out there for it will get a lot more crowded in the stores and if violence does not break out, it will be a miracle.
Texican....
