Have stopped going to regular grocery stores, prices there are hyperinflating now. Only buying bulk from Costco from now on to save money.

Re: Grocery store shortages again?
NOPE. Not where I am. Food is plentiful. The only things there seem to be a shortage of is Maid In China stuff like bikes, freezers, patio furniture, etc.

I've been shopping online because I don't want to deal with cray cray psychos in the stores. Amazon and my local grocery have had everything I need.

It comes and goes.

Some items are out more often than others or they get a shipment and it get's stripped away in a day.

Some items I see consistently low is Spam, canned tuna, pasta and pasta sauce.

Dried beans are hit and miss, depends on the time of month (tho rice has always been there).

Canned veggies are usually there but sometimes the "name brands" are out and you have to get store brand which usually isn't a big deal.

Our nearest Kroger get's shipment on Wednesday and put it out on Thursday. By Saturday, the good stuff is gone so we schedule our shopping for Thursday evening or Friday morning...usually.

Re: Grocery store shortages again?
I went to the local Kroger chain today (in Colorado). It was actually really bleak. It was the first time I'd physically been in a grocery store since early April when things were *really* bad. I thought I'd be walking back into a stocked store like before all this started , but large swaths of shelves were empty and it really seemed like most manufacturers were only making/selling the very basic of flavors/varieties now.

Really made me realize how good we had it before with options. It felt pretty third worldy, not gonna lie.

They reported that there is a Dr Pepper shortage. Next, Cheetos

Here in Massachusetts, I can't find jugs of pickling vinegar.

I have enough for this years crop, but that shit is good for a lot of stuff besides pickles.

Shortage: lower supply in relation to normalized demand

Correction: adjusting supply in light of changing demand.

My $$ is on a bit of both...and that the average weight of a US citizen wont drop anytime soon because of this.

Not to mention the various dystopian auto announcements over the intercom every 3 minutes .

"To reduce the spread of the virus, we ask that all customers ..." "The federal reserve is currently reporting a coin shortage and asks that all citizens ..." "the CDC has recommended ..."

Today, for the first time in months, I was able to get a 120 pack of 9" paper plates.
Perdue chicken legs/thighs are .99 in family packs, and angus Beef Rib steaks are $10.99 a lb.
I went to the store to get a bottle of Listerine and some breakfast cereal and spent $138.00
The freezer I ordered on April 10th got here last Tuesday, Aug.4th, so I can lay in some serious stores.
This is in 07647, NJ.

Re: Grocery store shortages again?
WE ARE GOING THROUGH THE 4 PHASES STAIGHT OUT OF THE COMMUNIST PLAYBOOK:

1. DEMORALIZATION
2. DESTABALIZATION
3. CRISIS
4. NORMALIZATION

PHASE 1 "DEMORALIZATION": GET PEOPLE TO REBEL AGAINST RELIGION (BURNING BIBLES, SATANIZIM, ABORTION, ETC.), AUTHORITY (POLICE & FEDS) AND EVEN THEIR BIOLOGICAL SEXUAL IDENTITY (GAY - LBGQT - PEDO AGENDA).

PHASE 2 "DESTABILIZATION": RIOTS, LOOTING, CIVIL UNREST & SHUTTING DOWN THE ECONOMY.

PHASE 3 "CRISIS": COULD BE AN EARTHQUAKE, DIRTY BOMB, CIVIL WAR, OR OTHER EVENT TO USHER IN ADDITIONAL PHASE 4 "NORMALIZATION". IS THE SAN ANDREAS FAULT ABOUT TO MAKE CALIFORNIA AN ISLAND?:



PHASE 4 "NORMALIZATION": MASKS, SOCIAL DISTANCING/ISOLATION, & VAXES ARE OF PART 4 "NORMALIZATION".

BLM ANTIFA ARE ON THE DEMONCRATIC COMMUNIST PAYROLL AGENDA. THEY ARE ATTACKING THE COURT HOUSES SO THE 160,000 SEALED INDICTMENTS AGAINST THE LEFT PEDOPHILES DO NOT SEE THEIR DAY IN COURT.

DEMONCRAT COMMIE LEFTISTS ON THE "LEFT COAST" ARE SUPPOSED TO GO TO COURT FOR THEIR PEDOFILE CRIMES.

CHECK THIS NEW VID (GO TO 2:27 MIN MARK TO SKIP SONG) SHOWING HOW THESE PEDOS CONTROL THE WORLD & HOW TO FIGHT IT:



BLM ANTIFA ATTACK COURT HOUSES IN DEMONCRAT COMMUNIST CONTROLLED SEATTLE & PORTLAND SO DON'T GO TO COURT BEFORE A JUDGE & THUS NO JAIL TIME.

THE BLUE STATE DEM GOVENORS & MAYORS (CHICOM CONTROLLED) DEFUND THE POLICE SO THE PEDO ELITE & THIER MARXIST COMMIE ANTIFA BLM THUGS WILL NOT BE ARRESTED.

SAVE THE CHILDREN & CHILDREN'S LIVES MATTER PROTEST IN HOLLYWOOD & AT CNN HEADQUARTERS. CNN WILL NOT REPORT THE PEDO RINGS SINCE THEY ARE IN ON IT (CNN = CHICOM NETWORK):



ANTIFA IS BASED OUT OF SWEDEN.

SWEDEN = PEFOPHILE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.

SWEDEN IS ONE OF THE ONLY COUNTRIES NOT LOCKED DOWN FROM COVID-19.

COVID AND RIOTS ARE SCAMS & PSYOPS JUST TO PROTECT THE PEDOS AND DEMONCRATS WHILE TRYING TO BRING AMERICA DOWN FROM WITHIN.

DONT FALL FOR THE COMMUNIST TACTICS; CHINA, RUSSIA, & IRAN ARE LAUGHING AT THE USA & WANT US TO FIGHT EACH OTHER TO WEAKEN US SO THEY CAN INVADE.

AMERICANS, BLACK WHITE BROWN YELLOW (NO CHICOMS) & ALL AMERICANS NEED TO UNITE & NOT FALL FOR THE COMMUNIST CIVIL WAR PLOY. THE COMMUNISTS WANT AMERICAS KILLING AMERICANS; WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THE COMMUNIST & ISLAMIC INFILTRATORS & AGENT PROVOCATEURS.

THE VIRUS IS A HOAX, THE BLACK HAT'S PLAN WAS TO PUT MALARIA IN THE VAXIENES & FORCE EVERYONE TO TAKE THE VAXENIES. THE WHITE HATS (TRUMP & DR IMMANUEL) SAW THIS SO THEY ARE PUSHING HYDROCHLOROQUINE THAT CURES MALARIA, FOILING THE BLACK HAT'S PLAN.

WATCH THIS VID & THIS GUYS CHANNEL; HE SHOWS WHATS GOING ON WITH COVID:



AMERICANS OF ALL RACES NEED TO STAND TOGETHER & RID THE WORLD OF THESE COMMUNIST MARXIST PEDOFILES!

My local wally was out of apples, yellow onions, garlic and paper towels. They are my only choice for groceries within 20 miles and they are the only ones that offer pick up for me.
I told my husband (he works on the road) to start picking up a pack of TP and paper towels when he gets his road groceries, because the great toilet paper rush is going to happen again.
