We ordered online from the local HEB supermarket for pickup. Took over a week to get our order filled and this was from the 3rd closest HEB. The two closer stores had a longer waiting period.
No paper towels. No toilet paper. Various other products unavailable. Other products we wanted were substituted for.
Monday I will head out on my own to actually go into various stores to see what they have.I understand many stores have restrictions in place regarding number of people allowed in the store at one time.

Anyway, I have been going to my local Publix, the biggest supermarket chain here in South Florida ( Miami ) since the beginning of this mess and have yet to see a single roll of paper towels and toilet paper on the shelves and managed to snag a couple of cans of Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup after waiting weeks to find it on the shelves. One thing is for sure with plenty of Cream of Mushroom and Creme of Chicken still on the shelves, they now know if they didn't before that the Chicken Noodle is the most popular brand.
I'm down to one roll each of the paper products but as one guy said "poop and then take a shower, problem solved" but I use, pardon the expression, a shit load of paper towels, so this Weds. I'll try and take advantage of the early opening for seniors 65 and older and see if I can snag some paper towels. Always plenty of fish available and pork loin for some reason.
"Publix, where shopping is a pleasure". They are going to have to stop using that promo.
