Week four and here is Easter.
We are still holding our own, at the angel house. Still healthy and still staying home, for the most part. Quarantine has been extended to May 15th, here in California.
Quarantine Week 4
Toilet Paper: 13 rolls (plus 15 in our emergency closet). I made a major score at the market, 4 rolls of the tiniest package of toilet paper I have ever seen. I refuse to add them to the totals and instead, I am going to use them this week.
Paper Towels: 8 rolls (it seems we go through 1 roll a week).
Tissues: 2 packages and many around the house for use, though those are getting less and less full. I figure things will start to get critical, in another 2 or so weeks.
Hand Sanitizer: Just 1 that I see, in use in the family room. Mostly, we use the little ones we got from CVS, that live in our car.
Soft Soap: A large bottle under the sink in the bathroom, that is in progress and then 2 new Lavender bottles that I got at Rite Aid.
Meat: I managed to get a package of pork country ribs and I cooked it this week.
The inventory of our freezer hasn't changed much too. Several packages of lamb and pork. 4 NY Strip Steaks. I took out the turkey leftovers from Christmas and we had it today, for Easter. Gravy and Stuffing were available, as is some cranberry sauce.
Once again, the main reason we went shopping this week, is for some fresh produce. I had to go alone (week 2 of this new rule in this increasingly hard time and I have to wear a mask at the store). The main task was to get my Husband 9 salads. I went to the store on Wednesday, this week, so his salads should last for a bit. This was week 1 of being told to not shop. Yeah, you see how much I obeyed that message.
Pantry is thankfully still full of staples, though flour is starting to get critical. I have one package left as Easter and Passover took a lot of our last package. we did use 1 can of soup and made chocolate chip cookies, again this week.
I hope you are holding your own in these very unsettled times.
TP, Paper Towels, Facial tissues: Now available in WalMart.
ReplyDeleteHand Sanitizer: didn't see any, but didn't really look.
Softsoap: Didn't look. I have a bottle in the bathroom. We use Dawn to wash hands in the kitchen.
Meat: We have a massive collection of meat in the freezer and we've been eating it down, which we would have done in the absence of lockdown. Meat seems quite well available in the Price Chopper. WalMart not so much, but I don't buy meat in WalMart anyway.
Produce: No problem at PC or WM.
In short, very little we can't get here in Glens Falls.
