Janet BT shares: “Heard that Safeway in Hyattsville is pretty bare on all essentials”
If anyone is looking for grits, the Hyattsville Giant had some this morning.
Melanie J shares: “Just got back from Target E-W Hwy and they had some TP and some disinfecting wipes. Lots of paper towels. No flour. I like this store bc it generally has not been crowded and there is no line.”
Leah W shares: “Went to Giant on E/W Hwy today at 6am. DiGiorno and store brand pizzas were in stock (first time in weeks), but not all varieties. There were zero large Marie Callender large size chicken pies, only beef varieties of Hungry Man dinners. Kudos to the employee restocking the frozen food aisle; she opened the case of Stouffer chicken pies for me when I told her that I was disappointed not to see the large Marie Callender pies. Overall frozen dinner inventory was pretty good, just missing some things I wanted. Lots of empty space on the frozen vegetable shelves. There were zero cartons of liquid egg whites and liquid egg yolks and store brand boneless skinless chicken breasts. This last was a real surprise because the store had a very good inventory a week ago. Produce, cheese, milk, nutrition bars were plentiful. Happy to see some large bags of dry cat food, on sale even. No tp, some paper towels.”
Emily R shares: “Whole Foods had AP flour and yeast (packaged from bulk) at 8:30 am. No chicken, most people were lining up for meat from the butcher counter. Hardly any frozen veggies. Well stocked on produce, dairy, eggs, canned beans. No TP.”
