Walmart is starting to look like a Soviet era food store. Every week the shelves have less and less. There is a type of bean, called Purple Hull Beans, which back in the old days my dear old Mom used to sit on the porch and shell out of their hulls. Those beans or peas, whichever, were indeed purple. But my wife used to buy those made by Bush’s and Green Giant. She said they have not had those in over 8 months by either company. Lots of different items have disappeared from the shelves, one by one by one. For over a month, there were no type of crackers in our store. Not one box. How the hell does a company stop making their products and shipping them to the stores? All these cracker companies are USA companies. These are not imports from China making beans or crackers. Has the supply chain gotten this bad? It got this way because the communist mob has been planning this for years and now with the Planned-Demic, which was better than they could have hoped for, went this well and all their plans have been rushed up by years. They are well on the way to destroy America.
As did my mom, Pink Eye Peas and Butter beans picked from her own large garden she had grown.
She would can dozens of quart jars of those peas/beans/tomatoes/etc.
(I still have hundreds of her canning jars, etc)
Live in the D.C. area.
Haven’t seen any food shortages here yet.
Wonder why?/s
What region are you in?
Shelves are full here in every store in southern NY and northeast PA. Not one thing I normally buy has been sold out and prices have increased maybe 5% in the past year.
The one thing with a major increase has been Pacific seafood since much of that was Russian. Wild salmon jumped 20% since the war.
I recently bought a new car and there were 5 of the model I wanted to choose from in stock and I paid less than MSRP. I still don’t believe it. A few months ago I couldn’t find one car even hundreds of miles away and they were going for at least 30% above sticker sight unseen. The chip shortage has definitely improved here.
You don’t need that much Sq. footage for beans and peas.
Lots of interesting fires concerning food supplies around the Country.
