Any idea when flour, butter, eggs will be readily available again? I've checked daily and haven't had luck so far.
And what's the deal with the run on cheese? What in the world are people doing with so much cheese??

I have to say that I am very disappointed in HEB. I really thought HEB would be a leader in safety for the most vulnerable. A number of other stores have set aside a separate hour for the elderly and immunocompromised, yet HEB has not.

Maybe HEB believes its existing delivery and curbside pickup services are the safest options for high-risk groups?

That's a good theory, but the delivery and pickup have to be scheduled over a week ahead of time. If HEB wants to commit to a type of safer delivery, then commit to it. I didn't have to schedule last night's supper delivery a week ahead.

HEB curbside has been busting their ass to fill my orders this weekend. There have been some shortages, but they are finding substitutions however they can. I love them more than ever.

And thank you for posting information Atag.

Convenience is not the driving measure of merit here, it's keeping people safe.

The best option is to keep the most vulnerable out of stores altogether, IMO.

Use the new partnership between flavor and HEB for seniors. I believe it is same day delivery.

They looked at it but did not believe it to be the best option.

I appreciate the suggestion. Their hotline is "on hold" because they have such a high demand. In other words, it's not working.

Interesting. Too bad their other options are not very viable at this time.

I will go back and try the Favor website again later on.

I was surprised I got most of my curbside order fulfilled this morning.

They did do a substitution on one item, then failed to provide that item, but I'm not too worked up over a couple of cans of corn.

It is only in the cities and only for those who live relatively close to stores.

Still no good option for many.

Seems like a lot of the stores are starting to only allow a certain number of people in at a time. I went this morning and had to wait in line for about 10 minutes before I could get in

Those who are having trouble with options other than going to the store and are high risk- if you share your location maybe we can get a network of people willing to help. Form our own texags delivery service.

Another possibility depending on where you are, restaurants are selling raw ingredients-meat, veggies, eggs, etc.

Kroger and Randalls have been only allowing senior citizen customers and employees since 1997, but they are down to about 6 worldwide locations.

I'm hoping that at some point we'll reach a steady state on buying, when all the hoarders finally have their 6 month supply or whatever and demand levels back off at closer to normal rates.

You may say that I'm a dreamer...

I will say this about hoarding: I have come to the realization that a lot of people are having to eat at home much more than they are used to. Many people eat out for lunch and supper and even breakfast on their way to work. That's all gone except for order out or delivery. Kids are home from school, and that may well be two more meals a day for each of them.

So I understand that people do legitimately need more food that they are used to buying.

I told my wife last night, watch for the overflowing trash containers this week, and crap blowing all over the place.

Good point. Relentless eating out is also why a lot of people have no idea where their paycheck went.

I bought a 6-pack of wipes yesterday at Sam's. Try that or Costco if you have a membership. Get there before the open though.

If things keep going like this, there will be a run on Amazon for cookbooks.

And I am one of the chief offenders. I go to Magnolia Pancake Haus nearly every day for breakfast.

I know by name every one of the 20+ people who work there, and they know me and what I order.

It depresses me immensely that these people are out of work. I just don't know what the right call is.

There is a debate on this topic on the San Antonio board.
