I shop almost exclusively at Fred Meyer in eastern Washington.....fresh veggies and fruits all good...had good meat..but spendy....canned goods just picked over and the baking aisle very empty...no tp and very little kleenex....

luckily I bought 50# of sugar back in January and quite a bit of flour...tp storage is great....

but it still bugs me that this very nice store seems short on certain things....

I'll have to drag myself over to Winco or Walmart I guess....

Eggs and chicken are scarce in my area. One store was selling tjem for $6.99 for 18 count. Aldies was selling them for $1.00 a dozen with a limit of 2 doz. Per customer. The price of frozen cornish hens went up. I couldn't find whole roasting birds for under $2.99/lb. I did find 10 lb. Bags of leģs and thighs for .65/lb which is up from .59. So I bought 2 bags. I couldn't find sanitizer at any price. I like to keep a few towelettes in the car to wipe down the stwering wheel. I made my own hand sanitizer using soap, water and betadine. I like those bottles of foam soap and i reuse them. You end up using a lot less soap so it's very economical. Milk prices ate up too. Went from 1.79/ gallon to 2.29. Potatoes were expensive at 2.99 for a 5 lb bag for russets. I prefer reds and couldn't find any so I bought the 5 lb bag. Thats double the price. I began to see shortages way back in dec. And jan. I thought maybe since the store wasn't open 24 hrs, that they took longer to restock with a store full of customers. Anyway, I will be making up some soups/stews in jars (pressure canning) with what I have on hand.
