I am thinking these pictures were taken from a LA. store and the shortages were due to the hysteria created by the media of major floods happening throughout Louisiana!!!

That is most likely the reason. Our grocery store shelves get wiped out at just the mention of a hurricane, and the can goods are the first to go.
This is only the start of it. India is out of water and therefore cannot either drink or eat. Taiwan has lost 80% of their vegetable crops this year. We have only planted 30% or so of the corn crop here. Soybeans short too.
Ought to be an interesting winter.
“Lots of fresh vegetables this time of year.”
No kidding. Better to enjoy nature’s bounty at its peak. Save the inferior canned products for later.
Who even eats canned vegetables anymore? The frozen vegetable section is 20 times bigger and the fresh vegetable section is bigger than most other stores.
Milk, bread and eggs haven’t gone up at HEB or Walmart in my neck of the woods. Bread has dropped a penny and is now 88 cents for the store brand. That corn I posted about was 47 cents.
Our HEB is right up there with Venezuela on empty shelves, but that’s been their norm for years. If Wally World is playing this game, guess I’ll have to drive even farther to find a new place to shop. Wally World is usually more expensive than HEB but I find more on my list there than at the empty shelved and rotten produce HEB.
Guess I better grow veggies in my greenhouse instead of flowers this winter.
Saw canned veggies @ 37¢/can last weekend...plenty on hand. This sounds like a Wal-Mart issue...or a guy trying to sell some books.
And if you have the energy ( and perhaps a good garden) start canning yourselves.
Turn him into a hunting dog and you’ll both eat well.
There are no floods in Louisiana. What the heck are you talking about? All of Louisiana is laughing at the bogus national news stories about the state.
Aren’t these Chicom products anyway?
One of the stores is in western Oregon
> Of course, if he doesn’t carry his weight, then all options are on the table.
Literally!
“Who even eats canned vegetables anymore”
Lots of folks.
Cheaper. Easier to store. Lasts for years.

I hope yer power goes out. /s
Make your own taco shells. Make your own tacos with real meat for the whole family for what one order at the window costs.

It's possible the MSM's democrat handlers didn't give them this story yet... Trump derangement syndrome is messing with their natural killer instincts.
Just left the grocery and corn was 10 ears for 2$. Strawberries were 2pints for $4.99. No shortages for these items at least.
And in those pics, the remaining cans sure are cheap. I would expect with a “shortage” those cans would go up in price.
'Entire aisles are empty.' This is why Whole Foods is facing food shortages, report says
Walmart is another chain that has strange ordering protocols.
I grew up eating canned veggies, and ***HATE*** them, especially the canned peas.
However, sounds like a good idea to stock up on other essentials, like rice, oats, flour, beans, nuts (they freeze beautifully and keep indefinitely that way), pasta, and so on.
