Anonymous Coward User ID: 77811278 Canada 02/27/2020 11:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Costco Wholesale, which is one of America's biggest suppliers of long-term storable food, sold out of all their "emergency food kits" on their website after the CDC warned that Americans should be prepared in case the coronavirus becomes a pandemic. Quoting: WyatteSmith Visitors to the "Emergency [Food] Kits & Supplies" section of their website are currently greeted with a message saying, "We're sorry, no products were found." When I visited their site on Tuesday, only two products were listed, one of which was a large bin of macaroni and cheese. The site gave an error when I tried to open the page and said it was sold out. On Wednesday, the page was down altogether. A Twitter user shared a screenshot of their page on Monday highlighting how they sold out of their $4,999 pallets: [link to www.costco.com (secure)] [link to www.informationliberation.com] Overpriced BS for those who cant boil pasta and add sauce... |

Apologies for the inconvenience!" "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

If you cant get any, go to Walmart, buy a 20 lb. bag of rice, canned goods, Ramen noodles, water, chicken stock bouillon, etc., you can gather several months worth of food far cheaper than one of those survival buckets that lasts 30 days. |

Timur2020 User ID: 74526101 United States 02/27/2020 04:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is no such thing. Merely voyagers at rest, wishing the ocean were larger Its actually mostly the barely above and slightly underwater remanats of the middle class. The panic buyers are always a part, but they have already had a couple rounds and its guys with dependents and girls that can afford that 1 bucket of psychological comfort and did it finally now. They may never need it, but even 1 bucket of "stuff" does more than the stuff itself. Not that that is all they need or even much, but they are running this plandemic so hard, people don't know what we should say? Not even knowing and screwing up security saying some "Hey? Did you guys notice...". But to be prepared is always good. We will run a camp. It is open now. If we can still get it by then, a year of that food was supposed to be included per person. But its the ozarks, we have 14 acres that we can go 5 miles under trees and not on a road. Food is not the primary concern or water. Its discretion and security. There are going to end up being a lot of shot people out there that thought they had more people than you. Invisibility, getting people to stay on their protections habitually and a deluxe "dayroom" school so the women and kids have a place to be occupied that is like a regular house are the big concerns. I dare say beans done up are as good as those add water things and smoked meat keeps as good as dried stew beef. There's nothing you can buy in those cans that you can't make better. Theres a hundred pounds of rice, beans and peas around here now "Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind" Covid, fake riots, communist organizers - keep your powder dry America. This was not the disease or the riots, those both are still on down the line. Garden garden grow spices and medical plants too.

Im not worried about anything, because im ready for anything. But I damn sure am not worried about a stupid fucking virus. Come And Take It! |

JJ Johns J to the 3rd User ID: 78471388 Switzerland 02/27/2020 05:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | that's pretty crazy. a place like costco must have giant inventories. and, if the sold out on this with that said, i wonder if this was more a niche item up until now, and they didn't have many in stock to begin with. i mean almost 5grand for storeable food is't on many people's shopping list--outside of glpers, that is. . . No clotshot, NEVER! . Mad as hell! . |
