s/o coronavirus preparing - What are you stocking up on?

I just placed an order for a case of my favorite pads through my regular monthly coop order.  I buy a case about once a year as I go through a package each cycle and was down to one last unopened package.  I'm amused it hit this order when there's likely to be a surge.  I ordered extra granola bars too but that was because last month the kind I usually order didn't come in, so I've had to buy them at the grocery store.  But the stores were out of that particular variety too, which means the supplier probably hasn't gotten them back in stock.  I'm making sure I get something this month in the way of granola bars by ordering a couple of other varieties too.  I'll see what I actually get next week.  Other things in the monthly order I bought because they were on sale like a 50lb bag of rolled oats, a seasoned salt, and the potato patties that are the only way I can get spinach into my kids.  The patties are usually cheaper for me to buy at one of the grocery stores but in this case I'll stock up since I can get them cheaper through the monthly order.

Hah!  And yes, toilet paper in Europe is generally stiffer and thicker then what we can get in the USA.  My mom commented last time we were visiting family in Belgium that she could actually use 1 "square" for number 1!  LOL  They are rectangles and I need at least two in Belgium and join the others in the US who use about 8 here.  I think some of us just tend to be wetter then others.  And it depends on where I am in my cycle too.  During menstruation I can go through a roll of TP by myself in one heavy day, and I need more TP during the ovulation phase too.

Talk about not believing I typed that all out!

For those of you in infected areas, how much back stock of pet food are you keeping on hand? Earlier last week, before the first death in our area, I moved up my Chewy auto delivery. I now have enough cat food and litter on hand to last 6 weeks. If you were me, would you place another order (6 weeks worth), or assume this is fine?

Now that I’ve typed this out I’ve pretty much convinced myself to place another order. Sigh. I’m not hoarding a single thing. But when it comes to my two girls I want to be sure they’re not affected by any potential supply issues. Sigh again. I’m such a cat mom. 🥴

Stocking up? I bought an extra bottle of Tylenol, Advil and cough syrup. An extra pack of TP, Lysol wipes and Lysol spray. And a box of EmergenC packets.

I have a couple huge packets of powdered Gatorade mix, that if we really needed it, I could make. I think it makes 2.5 gallons.

When I go to the grocery this week, I planned on getting a couple extra boxes of cereal, macaroni, spaghetti/sauce, and peanut butter. Nothing major. Just staples that we could survive off of, if we all happen to be sick. Hopefully it won’t be a big deal. Miss Lerin would die if we actually made her eat spaghetti, LOL.

Keep us updated! That would probably be quite a scary thing to see. 

Will do.

She's more concerned with the builders underpinning her garage at the moment and the mess they're making of her garden to be honest

The Gatorade powder is a great idea.
