What are the grocery store shelves like in your area?
I went grocery shopping over the weekend. Some sections looked pretty sparse.

I went yesterday afternoon to a local grocery chain store and an Aldis. The local chain store had some bare spots but that store was doing some good business when I was there so I could understand that. I think they just needed to restock today. I also went to an Aldi store and it was busy too but didn’t really notice any bare shelves. I think they are putting limits on some things now like toilet paper though.

@cherokeepatti That sounds tamperproof.

@ProfessorPlum77 Mr. Braum runs a tight ship. And all of the milk comes from his huge herd, no milk trucks bringing it in from random farms.

@ProfessorPlum77 And the Athletics haven't even yet accepted Oakland's terms on building their new ballpark on the shipping turnaround basin, so we can't blame them yet. (Sorry, local joke.)
@ProfessorPlum77If it’s , manufactured or real, reflect on the words of Obama’s former Chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel commenting about a crisis.

@UnderLockDown They put fillers in most of the cat and dog food, grains especially that they don’t really need. Then they put dyes and flavorings and MSG in it to get the pets to eat it. Not good, and it can cause allergies and a lot of other health problems that are expensive to treat. There used to be a holistic veterinarian that wrote a column for my newspaper and I learned a lot from reading that. I wish I had a book filled with all of his columns. I can’t even remember his name now though.

@cherokeepatti Maybe someone at the paper could direct you.

@UnderLockDown I did a search and he’s still writing a column, our newspaper dropped that column several years ago. His name is Dr. Michael Fox

Pretty sparse, and there seems to be no pattern to it. You can understand how certain items would be affected by pandemic shutdowns, how some would be affected by global supply chain issues, how others were/are a result of hoarding. But it looks like a crazy quilt with no pattern at all.

I haven't noticed that.

@Spoiledbrat That is good. My local Winn Dixie has been like this, off and on, ever since the "Fifteen days to flatten the curve" period.
