Thank you for that list - tried to read the synopsis but it is a long mess.
There are already shortages and empty shelves at supermarkets.
Recently I’ve had trouble finding any zucchini at the grocery store. This past week I finally found a few really ugly looking ones. Managed to find 2 decent ones in the organic section, so bought those.
Then yesterday I was looking for grapes. No grapes to be found!!
Once there was a supply chain issue (2020), it was no longer just toilet paper or cleaners that were in short supply. Every week it’s been one thing or another. You just never know what it will be, and I’ve had to learn to be more flexible with my meal plans.
Good news, though. The grocery store also had some whole chickens for $5. They were approaching their sale by date. Bought one and hubby spatchcocked it, and then smoked it. Had it for dinner Thursday night. So good! Froze the leftovers to be used in soups, casseroles, or chicken salad. That was a good purchase. I always have to bargain hunt, use every coupon possible, and buy items on sale if at all possible. Gone are the days of unwatched spending. Money is tight.
