Living in a rural area we tend to keep stocks of staples because you never know if/when you can get to a store. Our nearest Sam's is over 120 miles away, a 250 mile 10 to 20 gallons of fuel trip depending on which vehicle we take. Needless to say we try and have a comprehensive list when we go. It had been a while, we usually go every other month, because of the weather and situation with the virus. I planned on going on Thursday instead of our usual Saturday trip to avoid the weekend crowds. Then I saw where Sam's was going to have Senior Hours, I left earlier than I had planned so that I could take advantage of this. It worked great, very few shoppers and it seemed they had stocked certain items that were in short supply, paper aisle was empty except for a shining pallet of Charmin Strong, my TP of choice. I found everything on my list except for 3 items, soup, tomato sauce and rotisserie chicken. I use the Scan and Go app so didn't have to go through the register, loaded up my basket and went out the door in about an hour. Once outside I saw that there was a line all the way around the building waiting for the store to open to the public, so a big shout out to Sam's for trying to address our new world order.
