Finding hydrogen peroxide and hand sanitizer has made my week. (I sure miss my old life.)

[Siwsan]

I had to make an emergency run to Big Lots to get cat litter. As long as I was there, and the store was pretty much empty of shoppers, I checked the 'personal care' aisle, not expecting to find anything They had HYDROGEN PEROXIDE!! No other place I've checked has had it. Then one of the stocking clerks came by and tipped me off that they had also just gotten in a shipment of hand sanitizer. It was at check out, still in the shipping boxes. So, I scored one of those, too.

So I count this as a very good day. Now to get back to work making masks.

1. Hey! I scored a 12 pack of my favorite shit paper a couple of weeks ago...

Small victories in a world in crisis.

3. Now, I have ordered masks!

My neighbor got his Trump check. That is what he calls it. 2 FedEx Trucks unloaded box after box yesterday.

[Wounded Bear]

5. The masks I ordered in Mar came in last week...the gloves I ordered in Mar came in yesterday.

The thermometer I ordered has yet to arrive. That was actually the first thing I ordered.

I hope your order ships faster than mine did.

9. Amazon

Date arrival, July 1st, 22nd. But they have already shipped.

Walmart, ordered same day, May 22nd. I plan on sharing.

23. I looked at thermometers on Amazon and now my spam filter is LOADED with thermometer ad's

I hate when that happens... Somebody sold my email address to the thermometer collective...

30. Par for the course...

Always seemed kind of dumb to me. But then, when I look for something, I tend to buy what I'm looking for, so these companies are filling my spam folder advertising for shit I already bought.

2. I use it for everything

Ordered from Walmart, along with alcohol, other things. Insurance gives us $70 per quarter for over the counter drugs.

4. Yup... sometimes finding the small things or timing it right so that you can get things shipped..

Makes all the difference!

I've gone back to online retailers I haven't used in several years to find things I can't find in stock in the grocery stores. I end up buying a bit more than intended to get free or more reasonable shipping fees, but it is worth it.

6. The only on line shopping I do is for my CBD.

I always shop during the 'vulnerable shoppers' time so there's never any crowds or waiting, where I go. And, it feels so good to get out of the house, and interact with people. I love my little Sophie Stinky Toes, but our conversations are pretty one-sided. She bitches at me and I nod and agree that I'm the worst cat mom on the planet. As I feed her treats.

However, the time may come when it will be smarter to make that switch. I'm retired so I'm home for any deliveries so I really have no excuse not to give it a try.

[hlthe2b]

8. Yes, it is important to get out of the house. My opportunity is 5 mile walks with the pup....

and still working some shifts. So, shopping is not at all a pleasant diversion for me.

13. Early does it

Usually get Memorial Day flowers at a store out of town. Old fashioned store, but they said they had few made this year, so I decided to check Walmart.

[True Blue American]

11. Same here!:)

But I am really enjoying online shopping. No trotting from store to store, come home empty handed.

JC Penney filing for bankruptcy. I loved ordering from there.

[mnhtnbb]

15. My boys grew up in JC Penney cargo shorts for summer.

Every spring, for years, we made a trip for new summer shorts. For awhile, when shanty pants were all the rage for guys about 15 years ago, it was the only place I could find them for my one son who wouldn't wear anything else.

[True Blue American]

17. I think

My Grandson still wears them I did buy him one pair at Kohls.

[mnhtnbb]

18. Once they were in high school

Kohls became the go to place for jeans for them. They have a great selection and often I would get a 30% discount from a coupon in the mail.

[True Blue American]

25. Hid Mother had

A 30% coupon. He wears shorts to College, I think, even Walmart where he is working this summer. They kept him on as an Employee from last year taking school break. Not all bad.

7. I found navy beans and brown rice, something that had been out on the shelves where I

usually shop. I went into one of those small full service grocery stores and found those. There was only one five pound bag of rice though.

[Maeve]

10. I scored two hand sanitizers this week

One for Mom, one for Hubby (for when he works outside the house). Felt like a major win!

[doc03]

12. They tell you to wear a damn mask. I found two N94 masks in my tool box I didn't know I had.

I was wearing them now I find they are not good because they have a air valve on them. I went for blood work last week
and they gave me one of the ones that hooks around your ears. Every time I go shopping I look for Lysol, gloves, masks, Lysol wipes
and even Clorox now and find all the shelves are empty. The only thing I do see is some toilet paper.

[True Blue American]

14. Did you see all

The big bottles of Lysol wipes at the Doctor Bright Hearing yesterday?

[doc03]

20. I didn't watch it but I am sure there is no shortage of any of that stuff or tests in Washington

either.

[True Blue American]

26. My reference was to Trump:)

Inject Disinfectant

[True Blue American]

16. Order online.

28. Valved masks (N95) work in protecting you.

They don't really work to protect the others. You can put your valved mask on, and then put the surgical mask on top.

[kskiska]

19. Ollie's has been selling 1 liter bottles of hand sanitizer

Made by the W.H.O. The problem is it has the consistency of water and isn't as neat to use as the ones with glycerine.

[doc03]

21. They must use that stuff at Lowe's. Leaving Lowe's yesterday I

used some at the exit door. I think it was just rubbing alcohol.

[Siwsan]

22. I saw that in their ad

I also just got a 15% off an entire purchase coupon from them. The last time I was there, their shelves weren't well stocked in ANY department but I'm putting that on my list.

No doubt it's just blind luck to find some of these health and hygiene products.

[mitch96]

24. 151 proof (75% etoh) Everclear is back at my local liquor store. They were out for a while

I mix my own hand sanitizer with peroxide, alcohol and a bit of Aloe. Keep a bottle in the house and one in the car. First thing I do when I get back in the car is sanitize my hands and anything I touched... People places and things will get you sick... Limit exposure time to these things also..
YMMV

27. I carry hand sanitizer sheets

In a plastic bag. Wipe everything, including bags.

I keep smiling at helpful people. They can not see that!

[Siwsan]

29. I actually hope to find some Everclear for making cannabis tincture, down the road

I also keep hand sanitizer in my car, and a little bottle, along with some sanitizing wipes, in what ever bag I carry. Then, as soon as I get home, I do a very good hand scrubbing and do another after putting things away. My mask gets thoroughly washed in hot, very soapy water and then hung up to dry.

And now I'm spending pretty much every day outside, digging in the soil, so my immune system isn't getting a real break from fighting off germs and bacteria and the sunlight is boosting my Vitamin D levels. I'm convinced that people spending years over-sanitizing themselves could be a factor in how raging this virus has overwhelmed some, while not others. Admittedly, I could be wrong but it makes sense to me.

[mitch96]

31. It was pretty scarce down here in So Fla but it has returned.

And amazingly it's the same price!!! No gouging... I have made some tinctures before with the 151 everclear Nothing with cannabis though... How would you use a Cannabis tincture? 151 burns like crazy.. The good thing about using the 151 everclear is that after this virus thing is over (hope, hope) is that you can make some pretty stiff cocktails when your done.. Can't do that with isopropyl alcohol... In some states you can get 190 proof everclear.. Real flammable stuff!!

32. 151 Everclear. A little peppermint extract.

Keep it in a small spray bottle in my truck. Spray my hands, keys and cell phone well before ever removing or touching my mask. Spray down the mask as well.

Might now be great for the hands. But I work outside and with tools all the time. They are pretty much a lost cause. I guess lotion might help but never liked the stuff.
