Valley grocery stores are facing limited supplies and are implementing purchase limits on essential household items like toilet paper, paper towels, and laundry detergent due to the ongoing California wildfires.
Some Valley grocery stores have limited purchases like toilet paper and paper towels to avoid panic buying during the California wildfires. Valley grocery stores in several cities are limiting mostly household items, like laundry detergent, toilet paper and paper towels. Eggs are also flying off the shelves.It’s noticeable, leaving some shelves completely empty. Some shoppers were told stores missed shipments this past week due to the wildfires.
An ASU Professor from the Department of Supply Chain Management within the W. P. Carey School of Business says the Valley impacts should not be widespread due to a lack of supplies, but rather, items may be reallocated based on needs in California. Some shoppers say they’ve changed the way they shop since the COVID-19 pandemic for this very reason. 'I don’t want something to happen where we don’t have any food. 'It’s always the milk, the eggs, the toilet paper that go first. Very unnecessarily. 'They are limiting it all to 2 or 3 items per person and I thought, ‘Oh gosh, here we go again.'''It is a little worrisome. That was a really stressful time for everyone to go through. To see that happen again worries me. But we have to keep on keeping on. 'I don’t buy a lot, but I buy enough to have at least a month's worth, in case of an emergency. 'FOX 10 reached out to major Valley grocery store corporations about what those allocations could look like in the coming weeks
