I buy paper products at Costco about three times a year so always have enough. I have been using up a lot of what I already had on hand, like canned goods, I just ordered sourdough bread, eggs, bananas, and milk. I have enough other things in my pantry or freezer to make enough meals for quite a while. Only real shortage was DH's coffee. Finally found one bag of it and hope can locate ore online.

When this is over I don’t think I will take anything for granted again.

No, I will not change a thing. I have not been shopping since March 13 and I still am doing fine. My freezer is still full.

I am always well stocked. I buy items when they are on instant coupon at Sam's and Costco. I also normally shop at Aldi's every other week, unless there is something they have on sale that I need.

Now, after all of this is over, I may need to buy larger than normal amounts of food and household products just to replenish.

No, I am the shopper of the family and I always have enough

paper towels, wipes, toilet paper, shampoo, tissues, detergent

etc, on hand.

We have the storage space luckily so we are good with

everything right now. I have offered a helping hand to a few

people so far if they need anything.

I should be making a list of the things I am finding useful to fix, recipes that contain easily accessible products, and staples that I have turned to. I

This type of situation reinforces the very reason I stock this house the way I do, so I will continue with my normal routine.

I will. I will never be without flour again! I was going to make banana bread, no flour. Finally ordered some from King Arthur directly. By the time it gets here, the bananas will be long gone.

I will definately keep my TP and papertowels on monthly delivery from amazon. I may add sanitizer to it, since we do use it.

Gosh, I thought I would have more on my list. I'm sure more will pop up later.

Freeze those bananas in the skin.The night before you want to bake put them in fridge.They will be the perfect mushy in the morning to bake your bread.

No I have no desire to "stock up" after realizing by "shopping in my own pantries & freezer" I actually buy too much 😉.

I've gone to the store to just pick up the essentials: milk, bread and fresh vegetables.

Thankful I haven't been in situations other have needing really essential items. Living in FL you learn to have extras (not hoarding level) on hand due hurricanes!

And for sure another thing I don't need anything for my home, decor, clothing, etc. that I used to shop for before!
