6 retailers who constantly replenish stocks of scarce goods during a pandemic

If you have spent some time searching for ordinary household items, such as cleaning wipes, hand sanitizer and toilet paper, since the outbreak of coronavirus infection, you know that this was not a very pleasant experience. These items are apparently sold out everywhere. But the publication USA Today told which retailers are constantly replenishing supplies of essentials.

Below are the stores where you can find essential goods even during this difficult time for the whole world.

1 Staples

The Staples office supply store turned out to be a hidden treasure for finding essentials. He sells a ton of household items that can be a little expensive, but pay off in the long run. In addition, you do not have to worry about buying toilet paper for a long time, in any case, you can share it with a neighbor. Staples has hand sanitizers, toilet paper, disinfectant wipes, and sprays.

When you want to find these products, start by searching in a special line and see what is available. A lot of things will be accompanied by the words "Out of stock", but do not let this discourage you. If you check each page, you can find several options that will be available.

2. Office depot

Office Depot is another office supply store. It's great for finding a variety of household items. Like Staples, many options here offer bulk purchases too, but Office Depot may have brands like Charmin and Bounty in stock, as well as hand sanitizer.

When you search for a specific product, you will encounter the same “Out of stock” in many options. But with a little persistence and careful page-by-page browsing, you can find a few items in stock.

3 Walmart

Walmart is one of the most trusted stores for finding toilet paper, thermometers, and dish soap. However, these products will be a little more difficult to find. Let's say when you search for toilet paper, Walmart will give you options for free shipping, in-store purchase only, or in-stock (it will be grayed out). But there are also a ton of third-party sellers on the site that could be scams, so always check product reviews.

4 Target

In Target, you can sometimes find some necessary items, such as a hand sanitizer, hand soap and wipes. It is easier to navigate in the Target search than on other sites, because there is the ability to filter the goods available for delivery or receipt in the store, so you do not have to deal with sifting. Items available for delivery or receipt at the store vary depending on where you live, so keep this in mind when purchasing.

5. Home depot

This store is a great place to buy wipes, disposable gloves, and dish soap. Searching Home Depot is also pretty easy because it brings all of the items in stock right to the top of the page and you can easily order the item you need.

6 Amazon

Since this is a very popular place to shop, most of Amazon’s inventory is out of stock. In addition, the site is filled with third-party sellers offering questionable or fake versions of the necessary items.

Amazon is still worth keeping an eye on, though, as you can occasionally find the items you need from trusted brands Lysol or Charmin. Just add them to your cart and order right away - otherwise it will simply sell out.
