YOU MUST BE TALKING ABOUT BY PUBLIX IN GAINESVILLEI just went to Publix (north central Florida) to get a few things. I walked the whole store just to get an idea of how things were holding up. This is not my normal Publix, but I went there as they have hand sanitizer It's still within 3 miles of my house.
I was surprised to see a BUNCH of tags limiting purchases on items. This was a first. There had been a couple before on things like eggs, cleaners and bleach, but this was a limit of 2 on things like instant oatmeal, soups, canned veggies, canned beans, all canned meats, canned pastas, rice, rice mixes, pasta mixes, pasta, potato mixes, peanut butter, jelly---basically all "prepper" type foods. They were all over the place! Still a limit of 1 on the hand sanitizer. No wipes or lysol spray. Some bleach, though only the smaller jugs.
Did not look at the freezer stuff or the meats, which I always thought were too expensive anyway, and my freezer is stuffed beyond capacity as it is.
Glad I have been prepping for years. I got what I was looking for and left. It was kind of depressing to see all of the limit signs.
