The local Giant has been short-sheeted throughout the pandemic (being one of the smallest of the chain). The local mega-ShopRite is well stocked.
I’ve seen this in other places in my travels
Seems to me there’s an economy-of-scale factor (read: customer base size), in terms of who-gets-what.
The stores in Northern Indiana are wiped out - looks like they are closing - under Brain Dead Biden, we just need to eat less.
I’m having trouble finding stuff like Icelandic yogurt, coconut milk and distilled water. Crap like soft drinks and Pop-tarts are in endless supply. Gatorade shelves seem to be empty every time I go to Target.
When I visited my Wal-Mart Friday, the frozen potato section was very low...they always have frozen potato products.
If you’re just trying to stock up now, you’re a little late.
Most smart people I know have 3 to 6 months of food stored up. Dried, canned, preserved, MREs, Freeze dried camping food, raw staples (flour, sugar, baking powder/soda, spices, yeast, etc).
Look at alternate sources to grocery stores. Walgreens, RiteAid, CVS and other drug stores usually have a small grocery department. While they don’t stock a lot of quantity or selection, it’s usually restocked pretty regularly.
Hororrs. People might have to cook in their own homes! Food will have to be diverted from restaurants to supermarkets.
What's wrong with the Special K and Raisin Bran on that store shelf? People are just too picky. The high sugar stuff sold out and they are too lazy to put a teaspoon of sugar on the healthier cereal?
Huh? When the media’s no contact grocery delivery from Dean and Deluca or Balducci’s does not have their foie gras or high end kale, they finally notice shortages.
Starting to see empty shelves in the grocery stores here in New Hampshire.
Pretty much all of the grocery stores in PA and NJ are stocked. The worst I can report is occasional spot shortages but for the most part everything is available.
I went to three grocery stores this week. Two Walmarts and a Harps. All had plenty on their shelves. I did notice a few empty areas in the juice isle at Harps.
But the prices were up-UP-UP! at all stores.
The local Publix had so much cereal that it’s had a buy-one-get-one-free offer for the past two weeks. Ditto for nuts, spaghetti sauce and olive oil.
Food supply looks fine so far in the Houston area.
Ammo, though, is still expensive, and it’s not easy to get the exact product that you might want, if you are particular.
But .22 lr seems plentiful, and that may well be both the most practically useful, and a solid medium of exchange during the coming zombie apocalypse.
