Added some more dry and frozen goods to my supply stash

I had an appointment after work today so I did a mad dash through the grocery store during my 40 minute lunch break to buy the things on my list. It really was just dry/canned goods, frozen vegetables, fresh protein (chicken breasts, pork chops, and ground beef) to be frozen, and a gallon of skim milk so I can continue to have my Cheerios cereal for breakfast. I forgot to look for hand sanitizer, though, because I didn't write it down on my list. 
I have enough stuff to get through a couple of weeks now. Some of it doesn't even fit into my cabinets and is sitting out on the counter. Oh well. I'd rather have too much than not enough.
Are you stocking up?

@NJChicaa You never know when you might need some back up food. Although I never ran into a long term issue. I remember twice I had a short term issue. We had a major flood about 3-4 years ago and the majority of our county was flooded, I could not leave my neighborhood for 5 days, good thing I had everything I needed for the 5 days. Then about 6 years or so ago we had a major snow storm that closed most of the roads for 2 days. The stores were just about empty for a week. Nothing long term but was glad I was prepared.

I have read that hand sanitizer is nit as good as common soap. Don´t worry.

No, we haven't been stocking up. For some reason, I'm not afraid.

@NJChicaa It's definitely spreading. But, with people world-wide taking safety precautions, it will be stopped.

We are stocked to the gills! No room for anything else. Do you have cat food stocked as well?

It's good that you will be prepared but take this in a nice way and try to calm down otherwise if something did happen panicking will make you feel worse I mean that in a nice way

No, I was at the store earlier though..I went all the way through and was in the parking lot and realized I forgot milk and while I was there I ended up getting some grape tomatoes, french fry onion strings on sale..and a lemon. I guess FL is thrilled I forgot milk!

I am not stocking up for the same reasons you are. I am stocking up to save money. But being an investor, I love people like you. I cannot tell you how much money I make from this sort of thing. Keep stocking up. I am am stocking up on my money.
