no one else was in the store

wear out unexpectedly and I didn't want to risk having that happen if stuck in my house alone for 2 (or more) weeks.

but the cord... the plug end that goes into the phone. I've had to replace several after they get loose and won't charge anymore.

I have never had that happen either. Lucky me.

It never occurred to me that I would need shoelaces

Mine last decades.

Everyone should be washing towels and bedding a lot. Disinfect your laundry baskets.

Don't need to touch them to put them on or take them off.

If I feel the need I can just throw them in the washing machine.

I am almost out of toothpaste. Plus, I haven't used allergy eye drops in more than a year. My allergies have been fierce this season and I've just run out.

We're Floridians, so I have a box filled with batteries, flashlights and a radio. But no allergy eye drops or toothpaste.

hadn't used one in so long, hadn't realized it didn't work. so one run to the drug store to buy one. we tried it to make sure it worked, surprise! it didn't. So i went out again to a different drug store to buy another. Eureka, it works! Then later I thought, well I should have bought two, one for each of us, instead of using those sleeves. Oh well.

Lab tested to+/- 1º....... just got to watch out for the pointy end!!!

I have one of those stuck in an ac vent. i forgot about it.

The meat thermometer is instant read but I have to hold it up to a mirror to read it as it points away from my face.. Necessity if the mother of invention and all that jazz...

These are really important, you should check your temp before heading out each day.

One thing I have plenty of, but would be majorly bummed without, is SALT! Don’t forget to check your stash, y’all!

I haven't had pants on in days! What's this about a quarantine, now?

Coffee was on sale $3.50 a lb, go figure, i got 3 and the biggest tub of coffeemate they make, im good for 3 months, at least, lol

Dairy case was empty of milk and everything but half n half, which i use too, and buttermilk, i must be the only one that makes buttermilk buscuits!

It was a pain in the ass.

Evidently I wasn't the only one who thought of this.

Changed prescriptions to three months. I am thinking switching from Costco to Rite Aid so I can drive up.

Prepared me for this, I'm not a hoarder but when I buy stuff I get double what I need. Just in case I'm poor again.. I could probably stay inside for a couple months. Though I do miss the low hum of random people blabbering.

Not attractive....but.

I am all about the strings.

The hemp cord

The cotton twine.

And we have not even mentioned tape yet.

I have a lot of shoes and I can switch out the laces if I have to.

They're orthopedic and really expensive. I have those shoes and a pair of slippers.

I am self-isolating because I will be 70 in less than a month. I haven't been exposed that I know of. I am not sick.

Make sure you have enough for 2 cycles or have old fashioned rags as a back-up.

in need of them, that would have been the first thing I thought of. Long before toilet paper. I had a three month supply of tampons in normal times.

Aluminum foil, plastic wrap, dish soap

If communication like tv and internet or power should fail
I have my Dad’s trusty radio with am fm and short wave

My tv began to freeze yesterday and that’s when
I remembered the radio

includes weatherband, flashlight and phone charger.

I think the idea now is to use paper, unpack groceries, and dispose of the bag, or do I sanitize the reusables before and after? Either way probably makes a dent in the problem
