I was in the US as wife got a bit paranoid and asked me to load up some grocery and stuff because Costco Richmond seemed to be impossible to get in when she was there earlier in the morning

No lineup or anything at Costco Burlington. But you could clearly tell that they have been under siege. Only chicken meat left are chicken breasts and no organic ones.

Some of the items like Kirkland shit paper are out, but I am loaded with Charmin so I had 0 intention to get anything. But overall seemed well-stocked on everything else.

Ended up loading a lot of frozen fruits/veggies/meat, pastas, snacks and whatnot... came out 400USD poorer.

Then I went to TJ on the way back. It's still pretty well stocked, but the pasta sauce and pastry food section definitely took a beating as I could easily see tons of empty spaces here and there. Load up a bunch of the usual stuff with some extra emphasis in nonperishable foods and condiments... totaled just under $140.

I think we are loaded for now. With everything at home, we can stay in lockdown mode comfortably for about a month and probably double that if we plan accordingly. I even have an almost full propane tank plus a bunch of little breen one I got last year when they were on sale. So I'm fully prepared even if all basic utilities are cut off.
