Anyone else worried about fall supplies?

Using bleach (for me) means that I'm going to have bleach spots on my clothes. I just can't seem to use the product without splashing......

To clean our washer we use bleach (and the clean washer cycle). I get the low splash kind but I'm always trying to still be uber careful and not have it splash. I know how you feel!

I went to a grocery store and they had lysol wipes 35 count for $3.30. I didn't buy any. Even another customer passed by saying that' too high.

The day before I ordered off of amazon clorox wipes 75 count for $4. It did take about a million clicks to find those wipes, but still. If I had no wipes at all, I would have bought the lysol ones, but I didn't need them that badly.

And bleach solution made at home only lasts for twenty four hours before losing efficacy. A real pain to make new solution every day.

When I clean the washer, I always make sure I have on clothes I don't care about. I use a rag with a bleach/water to wipe around the gasket.

I do have my house cleaning sweats and tee shirt, and yes it has bleach spots, but that is all I use them for so no big deal.

With the threat of "second wave", I am worried that the supply chain is going to be even worse. And people are going to be even more scared!! Will there be enough toilet paper?


I cannot tell if this is meant to be serious or funny. It is hard to read intent.

My local grocery store would be $4.99+ for it.

I did find Clorox wipes 35 ct for $2.97.

Pretty sure that's going to be the new norm...

A 5 pack from BJ is about $13, even with shipping the would be a total of $20. I'm keeping my eye out for those next.

Though this whole thing, I've never paid more than $4 a large tub for lysol or clorox. A few times I'be gotten closer to $3. And in the last 5 months, I've bought about 35-40 tubs, but that was for DDIL, church building and a member, neighbor , sister, and myself.

the large tubs are $6 around here in SO CAL. I remember getting them for $3 when Staples clearances them out a while ago (pre pandemic)

not sure if anyone else has even thought to look for it but-is canned pumpkin in short supply where you live? i ask b/c when i've now been to 3 different brick and mortar stores in 2 different states and the last one finally had any on the shelf (3 or 4 cans of which i bought 2). i had tried my local stores, 2 or 3 online retailers but unless i wanted to pay gouge prices or buy it by the case (online) there's nothing available in our region.

Just a heads-up about Clorox Splash-Less. It does not disinfect. The original formula is the only one that does. I mix one teaspoon of Clorox with one cup of water every day to use for that day.
On another note, I will be looking for canned pumpkin on my next grocery trip.

Don't know about canned pumpkin, but I can't find caffeine free (regular) Coke ANYWHERE. We hit 2 Vons', 2 Targets, one Smart & Final and no one has it.

Looks like Clorox Wipes will be in short supply until next year. I guess the supplies they use to make them are in short supply and are also used for some PPE.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who had that thought!

Caffeine free Coke is my drink of choice and I have looked everywhere also. Once when I was checking Publix the Coke guy was stocking and I asked him about it. He said because of the aluminum can shortage (which I had read about) they are not producing the less popular flavors but are concentrating on the best sellers. He said it might be the end of the year before we see it again.

Yep. I usually buy it regularly since I use it in my dog's food to help her digestion. Haven't been able to find it anywhere for a month or more now. So annoying!

I haven’t seen cases of Fanta Orange and CPlus Orange (which are my DS’s favorites) around here since early April. Only the large bottles. I’ve heard the same about the aluminium can shortage as the reason as they are focusing on only the popular flavors right now.

I noticed that the canned pumpkin was gone at the dollar store. I haven't been grocery shopping yet so don't know about Safeway. I also feed it to my dog. I noticed yeast is gone again. I admit that I started stocking up a little for the fall. A few bags of pasta, a few cans of sauce, coffee, tp, paper towels, wipes. I have my supply of sanitizer I bought from the brewery.

About a month ago our Walmart had one of those huge cardboard boxes that they display watermelons in full of Great Value brand 1 ounce sanitizer. At least here, everything is pretty much back to normal with TP, sanitizer, and wipes. And every store has huge displays of face masks.

OMG I went to the Walmart on Auburn (by Costco) and their sanitizer by the door to wipe down the carts SMELLED@@@@ Unfortunately you didn't smell it until you put it on your hands. It was worse than visiting a cow farm LOL But yes they do have tons of hand sanitizer, tp. I noticed their paper towel shelf was very low. No lysol spray but they did have the lysol cleaner which I also use. No yeast again.
What is up with all the garden shops in stores like Walmart, Costco and RiteAid out of everything (or never got anything in)
