There were reasonable, well-marked limits on certain categories of items. The only draconian limit I believe was on paper products, which is understandable, but still, I felt bad for people who really need the toilet paper and have a large family. (Fortunately we were already stocked up on paper goods prior to the pandemic.) And my mom wanted me to get her processed lunch meat from the refrigerated section and there was a limit of 2 on that and most of the larger packages were already gone, but there was quite a bit of selection on the smaller packages. Anyways, I had been avoiding shopping for the past two weeks or so based on things I was reading online and (I think, I hope) I managed to miss the worst of it. |

This was my first time using Instacart and I guess I didn't fully realize how it worked either. I think the tip we gave her would have been okay under normal circumstances, but under the current circumstances, being more generous would have been better. |

I'm not sure on which COVID-19 thread I read this - maybe this one?
But I wanted to thank the VFer who mentioned going on the grocery delivery sites either very late at night or very early in the morning - THANKS! I was able to set up a delivery albeit for 2 weeks form now - but it is better than nothing and I have enough to last for two weeks - so thanks for that tip - being a night owl or early bird pays off when scheduling deliveries!

While I agree the shift in demand was abrupt, and supply was severely impacted simultaneously, no one who watched the people I have been watching can say hoarding didn't contribute substantially to the low supply in my grocery store.
Ridiculous.
