I was at Fred Meyer earlier today. Things were looking sparse. No TP, handsoap, bleach or hand sanitizer. Cleaning products were really low.
But on the bright side…across the street at bevmo, Tito’s vodka was on sale! Just the essentials.
go to safeway. all but hand sanitizer, make your own. Vodka and other booze cheaper at Total Wine and More in interbay. There your life was just improved.
