So called professionals DON'T know everything
First of all these people make their money by saying everyone that buys large amounts of food and household items are hoarders. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong! Let me say that I am one of those that only shops once a month for all of my non perishables, toilet tissue, soap, cleaners, household items. Yes, my bill is usually around $360 - 400. I was brought up out in the country in the northeast where it starts to snow in Oct and sometimes doesn't end until May. You learn to stock up once a month because you never know if you will be hit with a 2-3' snowfall or it drops to minus 20 for a week or more. At best, most people should now try and stock pile enough food for two to three weeks so they don't have to go out in public and can stay safe at home. This business of running to the store every other day is stupid and very dangerous. I agree the toilet tissue issue was not really called for. One should always have at least a month supply for their size family. Again, my parents lived in the depression age and they learned to have things on hand for long periods of no money or work. So please folks, you don't know how often these people go to the store, how many people are in the family and you sure don't have a right to judge anyone. Just you take care of yourself and your family and keep enough supplies to hold you for a couple of weeks. It is not hard to fill the freezer with good old leftovers either. Stay safe and healthy and do the right thing.
