Been to Walmart and Harps in Arkansas several times in the last two weeks. Only things missing were the usual toilet paper, wipes, rubbing alcohol. Bleach and dish soap available. Flour is in short supply, but that was about all. Some bread shelves empty but lots of tortillas available. Plenty of canned goods available.
Plenty of fresh vegetables and meats, both fresh and packaged.
Facial Tissues are much more expensive than TP, and they break down faster in water, so you are probably doing the right thing!
When I went shopping, I thanked each one personally as I encountered them in the store.
Is it? I’ve never had the “pleasure”. LOL!
My wife could be a chef. About 2 years ago she started cooking full dinner meals on a single cookie sheet pan with a mat of parchment paper on the top of the bottom of the sheet.
She does the veggies and meat/chicken/sausages/fish/salmon in our top oven at about 425 for 15 to 25 minutes. Her seasonings are virgin olive oil poured/sprayed on the veggies and the meat with sea salt and ground pepper.
Sliced Cremini mushrooms,sliced carrots and sliced bell peppers are the key veggies. Sometimes sliced zukes are part of the veggies or Brussell sprouts. The veggies are placed around the main dish on top of the parchment paper.
Cleanup after dinner with the parchment paper liner fast and easy. I save any leftovers in a plastic zip lock bag and toss the used parchment paper into the compostable trash container. Then I rinse off the cookie sheet pans.
The peppers are now rare in the stores sometimes, and the mushrooms. Brussel sprouts can be hard to find.
We stock up on the peppers, zukes, Brussel sprouts and creminis and carrots. They will last about a week in a cool area of our home. She also buys the small potatoes and halves them as a carb.
It flies off the shelves.

But only after dusk arrives, I hear.
Well- this Boston born and bred person understands that!!! Even tho i now live in NJ, I won’t drink that fake clam chowda!!
Price, as another Freeper said. Dasani is more expensive than the store brand or economy brands.
To its credit, Dasani tastes better IMO. It’s not just tap water. Coca Cola owns the Dasani brand and their food scientists have fine tuned the taste by adding some sodium and calcium salts. It says so on the labeling. Contrary to what you might expect, the best tasting water isn’t pure H2O but has a tiny amount of dissolved minerals.
Plenty of this on the shelf!

I don’t know if you can get it, but Ozarka is the best. It really is spring water and I can tell the difference between it, tap water, and other brands on the market.
Oddly enough a company I used to work would do a small monthly run of unfiltered tap water for use in our local government buildings.
Guess they need to show that everyone from the mayor on down had confidence in our water system.
Not out here in Cali land.
Both versions of clam chowder are hard to find in both Progress o and Campbell’s.
Speaking of fish, Washington state has outlawed sport fishing. Oregon went along with them and co-outlawed fishing on the Columbia River.
Well...California has always been...different.
“I wonder how the gluten-free bread is doing”
Ha. Couple weeks ago at the big run, one local high priced market in super liberal land was all out of bread except a bunch of the above.
I said the same thing to my husband over the weekend: “you can tell what nobody wants!” All the regular cereal was gone, there was tons of the organic stuff. The only meat was “beyond meat” and it looked terrible. The only pasta was gluten free, one package of brown rice pasta and one of spinach pasta. Hilarious!
