Well. I hit Walmart around 6:30. Probably the first person to get there was leaving so I got a premium parking space. Most shelves were pretty full, paper goods, pasta, soup and other essentials were available with choices. I didn't need much and probably was the only one that didn't have a package of toilet paper or towels in their basket. They still didn't have much in canned meals, but the freezers were full.
Looking around at Gas Buddy, Costco in Peoria (10 miles away), selling regular at $1.99, best price in our neighborhood is $2.51. Almost pays to drive to Costco just for gas. Sam's Club is still higher than that, why pay for membership just to pay more for gas? Some brands like Shell are as high as $2.69. Regardless, we're still about a dollar more than the national average and no one will say why.
