After my curiosity got the best of me, I drove to Walmart a couple of hours ago. Not only are the paper products and cleaning supplies still gone:
- produce is about half gone
- fresh meat is completely gone
- dried pasta and ramen noodles are 90% gone
- eggs are completely gone
- canned goods are 75% gone
- frozen foods are well picked over
While people can still get things to eat, they probably will have to settle for brands and types they don't usually get.
We recently bought a house in NH and there’s a dairy farm nearby and they are allowed to sell raw milk to anyone. There are little roadside stands all over the place that sell eggs.
My son was laughing at the people bemoaning that they can’t get any milk. That far out in the country, there are plenty of places to get milk and eggs. You just have to learn about them and do it.
No more muffins, but strudel was still available, especially if it's pineapple.
The empty meat coolers were a surprise. With all the talk about vegetarians and vegans I didn't realize that America still eats meat in such a big way.
