Most of his recipes do well with me, been a few that I question though. Paper products were low there and Costco, but I didn't see any signs that limit quantities at either place.

People may already be loading up for holiday baking, as well. Costco in CoSpgs had zero TP on Saturday afternoon.

I went to the Eastside Longmont Walmart. My teenage son wanted some new underwear in size M. The briefs section was heavily raided, and the M size was essentially gone.

I would suspect a sourcing problem versus people crapping their pants, but what do I know.

Media is hyping baking goods and pasta shortages.

Do suppliers pay these outlets to drive demand?

Went to the same two Costco locations that told me they were getting TP on Friday. They are completely out.

King Soopers on 136th had plenty of tp and paper towels this morning.

I went to Safeway to get some. I'm used to buying the Costco size so had to buy about 4 Safeway sized packages and looked like a hoarder.

my order from the mormon store is about a week out, for delivery. That and what we've usually kept on hand, will keep us for some time. Outside the 20k of primers i'm picking up, later this week.

Good to see the LDS store is back up again will have to call this week to see if they reopened their store front

yes it is.
I'm buying from their website providentliving.org. It's a bit more for on line buying, but easier then going to their store front. Their stores for me are almost a 2 hr drive, one way, open 2 days a week.

They restocked most items about 2 months ago, for on line sales.

FYI: they finally have powdered milk, in stock, or did last week.
