      Kroger at Dekalb Ind. was nearly fully stocked–aisles were crowded with employees putting up stock, so they must have just gotten deliveries today.

        I was wondering if the Big Kroger just hasn’t seen much traffic since you have to go uphill to get there no matter which entrance you use.

          I nervously went there last night around 8 but all the hills were free of ice. It was full of people and well stocked, and they were back to being open 24 hrs.

      This is a useful thread! I’m not walking or skiing two miles to anything and back on the ice unless they’ve got what I want!

      Does the Emory Commons Publix still have milk? Paper towels?
      What about the Baby Kroger?

        I was at Emory Publix an hour ago and they had a decent stock of milk, eggs and paper towels but people were streaming in. by the time i left, the place was hopping. seems the best time to go: early-mid afternoon.

      Most importantly, how was the beer and wine stock? And salty snacks?

      Darn. I was just about to walk up there.

        Actually, I should say, ‘thanks for posting this, and to Heather for sending it in,’ since it saves me a frustrating trip.

      Holy crap. It looks like one of those “end of days”/apocalypse/zombie movies.

      I was at the little Kroger a little while ago, and they were pretty much out of milk unless you wanted Soy or the expensive Lactaid in half gallon cartons. Don’t know how much longer they will be there, but they seemed to be decently stocked otherwise.

      I’m selling soylent green over here on Coventry … huge selection and low, low prices!

        SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!!!…… AIIIEEEE!

    8. Heather says:

      Beer and wine supplies were running low. Snack aisle was crowded, so I think that’s the next thing to go. Milk supplies were sketchy, except for rice milk. Yogurt and eggs were gone, too.

      Seriously, I thought maybe the zombie apocalypse was upon us!

        I bet all the locavores are holed up in their homes right now, munching on countless varieties of winter squash and saying to each other through mushy bites…

        “See, we told them the industrial food system was vulnerable! Pass the pickled beets, would you?”

          Very close, but it’s more like the 7 P’s of Performance.

            Definitely the Seven P’s. I stocked up on everything on Sunday morning and I’m very glad I did.

      Emory Publix was stocking candy today, though! I walked up there around mid-day and got milk and meat, but I wouldn’t be surprised if those two items were running very low by now.

      A Floridian friend posted the following to me on Facebook and I don’t know the answer because TP was not on my stock-up list. Is it on yours?

      ( Deleted friend’s name) Tim and I made an interesting observation when we lived in South Fla and we were under a hurricane watch or warning: toilet paper would disappear from the shelves! Of cou.rse the usual supplies like water, batteries, etc would be wiped out, but TOILET PAPER???? Are people afraid they’re not gonna be able to wipe their ass for a full year after the storm? Just wonderin’ if that strange phenomena occurs during a southern snowstorm….

      What should I tell her? I think we are more of a milk, bread, eggs crowd.

      • Steve says:
        January 12, 2011 at 7:17 pm

        TP is a traditional stocking item for snow and ice storms. I don’t know why either.

      • Iheartnelliebelle says:

        TP @ Mini Kroger was nearly all gone today. Mini Kroger was low on: TP, paper plates, bread, beer, wine. But they had so many of these scattered throughout the store: HUGE barrels of cheese puffs.

      • J_T says:
        January 13, 2011 at 3:02 pm

        We bought up a shelf’s worth of toilet paper on Sunday night, but that was simply in preparation for rolling the trees when Auburn beat Oregon. Unfortunately, we did not think to save any for its intended use. Thank god the recycling trucks didn’t come and we could use those AJCs for their only useful purpose…

          I’m simultaneously entertained & grossed-out by this post…well done, J_T, well done.

      “Looks like we are really three meals away from anarchy…..” it’s in these desperate times that a little humor goes a long way – If my ancestors survived multiple wars, I think we can make it through this, people!!

    13. Steve says:

      Based upon news reports, it sounds like Kroger’s supply line are running better the Publix’.

    14. Gigi says:
      January 12, 2011 at 7:39 pm

      I am laughing here…. Thanks for posting the pics, I went to the Publix on Toco Hills and is very well stocked (except squash!! Another point to the locavores)

    15. MC says:

      We were all talking last night about this. Funny thing….. We take for granted how plentiful our food supply is (no matter what you eat). After seeing just a couple days disruption it seems we’re all just one bad week away from starvation!

      • Decatur Metro says:

        An excellent point. Perhaps there was a bit of truth in my jest. ;-)

        how’s the saying go? “when trucks stop, america stops” i think that’s it

      Looks alot like the produce aisle at Danneman’s on a good day.

    17. joe says:

      also this wouldn’t be a problem if the DG MARKET would open!!!!!!!!

      Publix Emory Commons about an hour ago was good for bread, paper towels, toilet paper, and produce; low on no-fat milk and OJ.

    19. David H says:
      January 13, 2011 at 2:12 pm

      Called the Emory Publix about an hour ago and they were very evasive about milk, meat, and produce. They wouldn’t answer my question but kept saying “come on in and I’m sure we’ll have something you need”. Ahh….no thanks.

      So, I went to the Shamrock Plaza Publix. They were nearly stocked up. The most prominent outage was Publix-branded milk. I had to buy a gallon of Mayfield 2% instead. Other than that, it was mostly a normal shopping experience.

      When I checked out, I confirmed that they were also picked down to the bone yesterday and she said they had gotten at least one truck in since then.

      YDFM is fully stocked
