The meat section was a puzzle to me. On March 19th it was significantly pillaged but mostly of ground beef. They had a few of the usual 3lb “family packs” left and a sign saying “one per customer.” There was pork aplenty and lots of beef roasts and more expensive cuts of beef. Plenty of chicken.
Next visit was on the 26th. Similar pattern but now only 1lb packs of GB and one per customer. Still lots of pork but definitely less than the week before. I didn’t need any of it as I have two refrigerators and I’m pulling roasts out of the freezers from Oct. ‘18 and just in time.
The bread was even weirder. On the 19th the packaged bread aisle was empty. Not a loaf, not a hotdog bun, not a burger bun. Not a single pack of commercial bagels. Flour aisle was empty. Fresh baked bread in the bakery dept. was stocked full as always. I bought two cheap loaves of fresh-baked French and Italian bread.
On the 26th the bread aisle was well stocked, fresh baked well stocked, flour aisle empty again. Who knew there were so many bakers in town? Usually there’s not a bag missing from the shelves.
There is going to be a ton of food thrown away in the next few weeks and months depending on its perish-ability. Baked bread first, sacks of flour later.
Be safe, Bro.
