The local Giant has been short-sheeted throughout the pandemic (being one of the smallest of the chain). The local mega-ShopRite is well stocked.

I’ve seen this in other places in my travels

Seems to me there’s an economy-of-scale factor (read: customer base size), in terms of who-gets-what.

The stores in Northern Indiana are wiped out - looks like they are closing - under Brain Dead Biden, we just need to eat less.

It is in the sputtering-out phase right now.

There is no cavalry coming to rescue us.

I’m having trouble finding stuff like Icelandic yogurt, coconut milk and distilled water. Crap like soft drinks and Pop-tarts are in endless supply. Gatorade shelves seem to be empty every time I go to Target.

When I visited my Wal-Mart Friday, the frozen potato section was very low...they always have frozen potato products.

The distilled water shortage may be a lack plastic containers.

It’s probably a lack of plastic jugs. The chicoms make boatloads of packaging for our manufacturing. It’s not like there is a domestic water shortage.

If you’re just trying to stock up now, you’re a little late.

Most smart people I know have 3 to 6 months of food stored up. Dried, canned, preserved, MREs, Freeze dried camping food, raw staples (flour, sugar, baking powder/soda, spices, yeast, etc).

Look at alternate sources to grocery stores. Walgreens, RiteAid, CVS and other drug stores usually have a small grocery department. While they don’t stock a lot of quantity or selection, it’s usually restocked pretty regularly.

Without full-service fresh prepared food delivery operating normally (restaurants, hotels, cafeterias, lunchrooms, food trucks, venues etc) there isn’t enough fresh food in the U.S. retail distribution system (grocery chains) to feed 350 million people.

Hororrs. People might have to cook in their own homes! Food will have to be diverted from restaurants to supermarkets.

What's wrong with the Special K and Raisin Bran on that store shelf? People are just too picky. The high sugar stuff sold out and they are too lazy to put a teaspoon of sugar on the healthier cereal?

I’ve had numerous store people tell me that the plastics shortage is really due to the refineries in Texas taking a beating in that severe deep freeze a year ago.

Huh? When the media’s no contact grocery delivery from Dean and Deluca or Balducci’s does not have their foie gras or high end kale, they finally notice shortages.

Seriously? You think all food production is going to shut down? Speaking of clueless.

My daughter lives in the DC, and she said, “We usually get things first.” So I found it interesting you would report that. If the Bolsheviks are feeling it, it’s going wide.

My bank just ran out of twenties and a nearby bank closed. So fifties are it. I have a recommendation. Always tip the clerks in the convenience stores and small stores every visit. Leave them a couple of bucks. If there’s a mandate, they will take care of you. If there’s a shortage, you will get good stuff. If your bill is a big one, they will break it. And when you walk in, you are treated like royalty.
