Do Your Part – Don’t Hoard Groceries!

The Carona Virus Covid19 has the majority of American in lock down. That means that we should ONLY go out to buy groceries, pick up prescriptions and to obtain medical help unless you’re considered an essential worker in the business and healthcare industry.

One issue that continues to be an issue around the country is people buying way too many groceries & supplies and hoarding them. It’s NOT stocking up when you’re walking out of the grocery store with 10 packs of toilet tissue, 8 dozen of eggs, 9 gallons of milk and so forth.

There is NOTHING wrong with our food chain. Food is being shipped all across the country and they’re stocking store shelves as fast as they can. The problem is with people buying way too many items to just “stock up” in case they need it.

They advise all grocery shoppers to ONLY purchase what you and your family needs for a 2-3 week period. Obviously, no normal sized family is going to run through 10 packs of 12 rolls in each pack of toilet paper in 3 weeks. Really folks! No normal size family is going to burn through 8 dozen of eggs in 2-3 weeks unless you’re eating them for breakfast, lunch, dinner & bedtime snack. Seriously!

Please do your part!!! Only buy what you and your family needs for 2-3 weeks at a time. This is NOT the time to be stocking up (overly-so) on everyday items that are in short supply due to hoarding right now. Think of your fellow human beings who can’t find a single dozen of eggs on a store shelf or a half-gallon of milk in the refrigerator. No toilet paper for miles and miles away.

We’re all stressed out and some more than others. Please be respectful and considerate of others who are in the same boat as you. Don’t buy more than what you need!
