Anyone braved the grocery stores today?

I'm scared!  ...but I need to pick up everything for our beef burgundy, so I guess I'd better suck it up and just do it.  I'm wondering if I can call a butcher ahead and ask for the meat I need to be set aside?  Anyone ever try that? 

Re: Anyone braved the grocery stores today?

  • We went to Wal-mart earlier today  and it wasn't bad.  They were out of a few items I was looking for, but they weren't that important so we just moved on.  I'm sure if you go sometime soon the stores won't be too bad.  Most of the SAHM are probably home by now with napping kids so it should be just people who are off today or running errands on their lunch break.  I could probably way off with that kind of thinking. 
  • I think the earlier the better. With the snow coming, I am sure you are going to get a lot of the crazy weather traffic once work is out.

  • I had to swing by Whole Foods and it was a zoo, but it was during lunch hour. I bet this afternoon won't be terrible (and it will only get worse the next two days anyway).

    You can definitely pre-order meats if it is a real butcher, I don't know about places like Safeway or KS.

  • I went around 11 and it was empty (and I went to a location where its always insanely busy).  Maybe everyone is avoiding it :-)

  • Target was BSC, and I had to go to two of them since one of them was out of Andes mint baking chips!  Angry

    But I'd still rather go today than tomorrow.

  • We went to Sunflower and Target because Wednesday is our grocery day- they were fine.

  • I was just at Target in Stapleton and it was absolutely fine. I was worried it would be a madhouse but they had plenty of lanes open.
