re: #171 I Don’t Take Responsibility At All (dangerman)

As someone in an area where we’re probably 2ish weeks ahead of everyone else in terms of grocery store panic: it is evening out. Not perfect yet - there’s still very little pasta and the bread selection can be hit or miss. Dried beans and rice are still nowhere to be found (but dried beans were also really hard to get in January so …not sure what was up with that). Soup depends on if it was on sale or not (Campbell’s was and so there was nothing on those shelves, but Progresso wasn’t and was available). Meat is type-dependent. Frozen veggies …well, if you wanted chopped spinach you were in luck. Pretty much everything else is still MIA. Milk is low but has been available every time. Other dairy is doing pretty well at this point. Produce was good except for the mushrooms, last time.

On the flip side, I am not trying to go at any particular time of day or anything, so it might be I’m hitting after the restocking. I know I’m still stocking up a little more than normal, because I’m trying to only have to hit a store once a week - and normally I would do two stores. And since there are things I need at each store, it means sometimes I’m trying to shop for two weeks at a given store. I’ve been able to get everything I need by being willing to be adaptable though.

(No sign of toilet paper yet but we’re set for another month or so before I start worrying.)
