EXACTLY the same experience. I was so profoundly struck by it that I came home and blogged about it on both Saturday and Sunday...after traveling to larger neighboring towns for the best deals on everything that we will need to survive and feed our family and clueless family that WILL come to us...

No one was doing any "special shopping" but us. People had Fall mums and halloween costumes in their buggies...
The check out persons inquired at EVERY PLACE we went, like we were a strange novelty and we had the oddest displaced feeling. Nothing genuine could be said to explain was understood. So we stuck with the "big camping trip" explanation. ohhhh was the reply, follow by, "sounds like fun."

I cooked for my sons, 19 and 17, their favorite dinner tonight we had a great conversation. We shared with them in more detail what was actually going on in the world at large...they can handle what is impending and facing us and because they are my children they are eons ahead of their peers... they are in awe that their mom knows "insider information"...I don't tell them otherwise. grin.
They trust me and they have never been spoiled... the separation from technology isn't sinking in yet but we are having "get to know your gun day" one afternoon this week...

Still even today, I was back out in retail land gathering supplies and i saw NO increase in shoppers or alertness level. The ONE place that had a marked increase in supply stocking was the liquor store...lines that went on for hours on saturday night...

I have emailed siblings and such and a few close friends in a last ditch warning to just be prepared. The population at large is zombified...
