My prepping/quasi-hoarding has finally paid off! I haven’t been to a grocery store in weeks, and won’t need to unless the winter kale and arugala quit growing. I just planted some lettuce and peas for spring, but they won’t be ready for a while. But I could hunker down here and not need to leave (except for prescriptions for the cornea neuropathy, darn that).
Good morning, CB.
Wonderful that you are so well stocked.
I know many have been very dismissive of us “hoarders” but to me if something was on sale and I use it all the time why not buy a few cans for the pantry, made economic sense to me.
I went to Slaveway yesterday morning mostly to get some fresh fruit and Diet Coke.
Was planning on picking up s couple of corned beef packages but the price was too high, thought that there might be a “manager’s special” running since they had so much left from St. Paddy’s Day, but no such luck.
Meat manager said corporate is not allowing store managers to run specials anymore but will let son know if corned beef goes on sale.
I went around 8:30 and was pleasantly surprised that there were not that many people there on a Sat. morning.
Panic buying seems to be subsiding or is it that the selves are not full so folks are staying away, who knows.
Taking to the manager, the warehouses can’t get the stuff in fast enough so much is being shorted from orders.
I’m very optimistic that this will turn around in just a little while.
