There goes the bread and milk.

I've noticed items missing when I go to the store.
Random stuff, on different days.

Last I checked, we're looking at about 7" of snow Sunday night. Better get shopping!

Right now the Weather Channel app is showing rain for us on Monday.  Uggh.  I'd rather have snow at this point; I hate cold rain.

Astounded?  Why?  That is what these idiots voted for... Biden said he was going to punish the rich..

went shopping today for grocery's.  Everything was well stocked.  Not seeing a problem here in hicksville fl.

That's what I thought, but wife said actually a lot of "unusual" items are not in stock. Like gluten free stuff because she's allergic to wheat.

Same here...with the exception of chickpeas in any form. Out of them for months....I don't get it.

Yep.

Btw, i have cream cheese for my bagels. I’m blessed.

Our pantry is pretty well stocked, our freezers are for the most part full, we have dehydrated food to last us quite awhile (including dehydrated milk, eggs, butter, cheese), a decent supply of paper towels and toilet paper.

The only thing we really lack is fresh leafy greens, but we do have a supply of dehydrated vegs and fruits.

I don't want to venture out for the next week or so when Omicron is supposed to peak. 

We'll be fine.  Just out of bird seed, but looking on Amazon.

I got some birdseed from Chewy

I was at our local Wegman's yesterday.  There wasn't a single chicken product in the store which is the size of soccer field.  Ground beef?  Forget about it.  Kitty litter?  Nope!

Then to top it off the very young cashier asks, "Did you find everything you were looking for?"

@DCPatriot

Wegman’s is the best. There’s one in my town too, ❤️

Yesterday at Walmart, the shelves were bare of canned cat food.
Today at the supermarket, not much in the way of cat food, either.

Those things give me gas.

Don't matter to me. Got more stuff on hand than we could eat in 3-4 years. (if i live that long)
After that, Fido may start looking delicious.
