Grocery store updates, shortages, recent stories!

Yes, this BS and insanity has to end!!

"everything is stocked". That is the illusion. Yes, everything is full now....but there is nothing coming behind that. All the food is being slaughtered burned and buried. There is nothing but tears coming behind this. and this is not a drill. this is for real. Venezuela was the beta test.

I wish I could say that as eloquently as you have tonight.

I have delivery issues.

Yah, that's my point, everything looks stocked now, but there are many subtle signs that things are not right, like just the fact we have to have "corrals", certain things are still not stocked like paper items, where there's smoke there's fire, don't forget.

LMFAO

Get with your local businesses, farms are offering CSAs. I just ordered a huge Gallon hand soap refill for like $45 from a local company that makes these.

There are many local businesses that want and need to work with you!

There's tons of small and medium farms around here.

They are already hitting the classifieds and online local social media spots selling their produce and meats locally.

At half the price that its selling at the stores.

Even after posting this two days ago, I was called a liar and it's not true...

Eggs...

"One receipt from April 14th shows the price for a 60-count carton of eggs as $4.74.
Another receipt from April 20th shows the price for that same carton as $15.91."

Last night was crazy for me. Kept having dream after dream. Cat would wake me up, or rain, or something, and I would be aware of coming out of another dream.

Can't remember when I had so many dreams in a night since I was a child. Only remember the last one now though haha.

Plus Chinese woman trying to get into Mar a Lago!

All for a virus not much more deadly than the flu, and the vast majority get NO symptoms at all, or very mild!

We decided to get pro active. We will be starting to grow micro greens (a pound of pea shoots in 8 days) and other plants indoors under grow lights. Thinking about getting quail, easy to grow, six to eight weeks, quiet for city, and grow in small space indoors or out, plus they lay an egg a day. All this was started because everytime we get groceries the supply is shrinking!

Grocery stores are just the tip of the iceberg.

There are a lot of other moving parts of the US economy, many of them dependent on the existence of a huge supply line from China.

With China already screwed up since January and now America in late April only one step ahead of them, this generation's version of the Great Depression of the 1930s-40s may be a good rival for most misery forced upon the American people.

You guys do what you will. No guarantees at this point whether your store will stay stocked. Our grocery is on pins and needles every week as far as meats. Sometimes we order 2 pallets and get 1/2 of one. Sometimes they just send out stuff. Not ordered. Distro’d out. We got 3 pallets of chicken wings on one order, not on sale, just sending what they can get a hold of.
Instead of an order that was compromised of a variety of parts.
Not good. Last week , not ordered, we got 20 cases of Prime Tenderloins( filet mignon) instead of the normal rumps, chucks , etc. So ... we’re getting meats and making do , but, things are waayyy off from the normal distro’d/ added out. Way off.
For what it’s worth, fill your freezers , hell , buy an extra one. Get your fav meat while you can.

Same in WA state here...

It feels like ppl are lying abut this on this site.

OP whats your location?

Do you live in the woods or something?

What location are you speaking about?

You post a lot of doom dont you?

Food supply in WA is normal

Where are you having problems getting food at?

Walmart in medium size town in Ga. out the door with lines waiting for their turn to get in. I didn't bother. I live smaller town beside this town. We have a local grocery store that is great for their meat selection and price. Always plentiy of any kind of steaks you want with pretty ribeyes often around 5.99 lb. Also, great prices on chicken and pork. Since all this started meat is not nearly as plentiful or cheap. I got T bones for 8.99 this week. Figured could be last time for awhile they are there. Sure people are starting to see things aren't going back to normal anytime soon and are stocking freezers. Their was only a few packs and a limit that you could only buy 2 packs.

Paper aisle was almost fully stock after being out for awhile. LOL, manager was actually taking a picture of it. Their was still plenty of food but shortages on a lot stuff. Maybe, 50% of the can stuff you would normally see. Not too bad but had the feeling when some stuff gets bought out it want get replenished like it was for a long time if ever.

Just something for y’all to think about. There was a reason last year Trump backed the whole gmo food production. There is also a reason they keep pushing the man- made fake meat products. And it’s not just to be the “in” thing. They’re looking for alternatives to starvation. I not saying it’s right, it just is what it is.

I have some canned Keystone and Grabill beef. Good dates, tastes good. Well prepped but thought maybe I'd get some more.

Every supplier I know of is out of stock.

Hard times coming.

Local- Louisiana
Doom is in the eye of the beholder
Congrats
No probs getting food as a whole, certain products you may end up paying way more or not available at depending on location.

Do what you want, I don’t give a shit whether you take my advice on getting your fav meats right now or not. Just know they may disappear or be extremely expensive as the next several months go by..
That’s al

I think, I heard May 1st. all Walmarts will implement the arrows thing.

Our Target now has limited that you can buy only 8 dry goods total. So they were full there. Yet no almond, cashew, or soy milk ( Had a minor panic attack since I’m lactose intolerant). It was hard to see all the plant based mills gone because they are normally really full. Frozen was 90% depleted.

Walmart, bacon was 97% depleted. Red meat 60% depleted. White meat 50% depleted.

Trader Joe’s was fully stocked on everything. I think by them limiting customers and the long line to get in to begin with (which goes fast) has detoured a lot of customers. Plenty of almond milk there thank goodness.

My store actually removed limits on meat this weekend. It was completely full other than TP.

But that doesn't mean anything technically.

The country is a big place with many moving parts, it is hard to tell what is actually coming down the pipeline for sure.

Like I always say prepare for the worst hope for the best.

Going tomorrow...
Eggs last time aa 2.49 a dozen

Gas 2.85 gal.

Milk 1.98 a gallon.

Bacon 1.99 - 6.99 depending on brand..

Thousands just 12 mikes from beaches ..were packed.

14 days. May 10th will tell if its bad

A loaf of bread will be worth a week's wages.

Crazy, right?

Rural Rockies 1/2 store empty.......

Just last night I woke up from a dream where a sudden, violent storm rushed in and as soon as the lightning struck I could feel the furious wind and jt was so powerful it killed me . But in between that moment of life or death, there was a moment that I realized this was gonna happen. I cant really explain it. I just knew. I've has this feeling in other dreams , the moment before I died.

Months ago I had a dream there were tornadoes and I really thought when I went in the basement I was going to die. People thought i was dead. Then I got up, went for a walk, and there were towers with cameras and cops filming everybody coming by, major surveillance. Weird dreams for sure. Also in the same dream, right before the tornados, I was at a 6ix9ine concert and for some reason 69 and his girlfriend really wanted me to come on stage and we started doing this satanic dance. He put me under a spell. Weird stuff.

That kind of racism should be against the law. Maybe you could tell the police about it.

It's probably a good time to buy children's clothes in the next size up because who knows if there will be any more clothes from China.

Seriously folks, there is no shortage of meat right now/i] but it is probably coming. Chicken is already being killed and sent to the rendering plant. Pork is up next - probably in a week or two. Baby pigs are already being killed when born. Beef - hard to say.

The changes over the last 5 decades to very centralized cutting plants rather than meat cutters at local level is the problem. We have a shortage of real meat cutters at local level. The cutters at local level would be lost if they faced a hanging beef quarter or a half hog.

I worked 47 years as a meat cutter / trainer. If I had facilities to work and just a few guys willing to work I could handle quite a bit of what is going to be lost and at least get it to a food bank.

...
Pork coming to market today was born roughly 6-8 months ago Beef - born roughly 14 - 28 months ago depending on what it has been fed. The meat is on the way regardless of whether or not plants are open. damn sad
