What are the grocery store shelves like in your area?

@cherokeepatti I had heard paper products are being limited, again. I have not experienced it, though.

@ProfessorPlum77 Glad we got that one covered. I bought some in July at Sam’s Club. They had plenty then.

@cherokeepatti Great foresight on your part! I wish I would have had been that wise.

@ProfessorPlum77 I heard some cleaning products too. I’ve been stocking up on them as I got coupons for some things like dish soap. Also bought a Clorox cleaner jug to refill my bottles and over a year ago ordered 6 half-gallons of a green cleaner I really liked and couldn’t find in the stores, it was cheaper to buy it in that quantity

@cherokeepatti You are a wise one!

@ProfessorPlum77 When I was still on Twitter someone posted a link where you could search companies and products to see where their supply chain came from for ingredients or parts etc. That was kind of showing me why there were certain shortages. One of the stockers at Walmart told me a year and a half ago that the company was having to go through various products to see where the supply line was and having to be very cautious about what they stocked. I think the Covid virus coming from China was the reason. Maybe they feared contamination or something more nefarious.

@cherokeepatti It is probably the "nefarious" theory.

@ProfessorPlum77 I heard a news story, very short one, early one morning on the local news, that station is independently owned and every so often they drop a little story, a few lines that the other stations will never touch. Anyway last year they said that ice cream samples in China were tested and some of them were found to be positive for Covid virus. I was thinking maybe whatever people were getting sick from (the sickest ones) was not from something airborne but maybe sabotage in food plants.

@cherokeepatti My goodness! They have told us so much about that subject. I for one have no idea what to believe. 🤔

@ProfessorPlum77 I don’t either but I was buying ice cream from stores that are owned by a local company, if any of their ice cream got contaminated it would hurt them badly. I took a little tour of their large plant where all of their ice cream is made and where they bottle their milk and you can’t get close to it they have a place upstairs with a window where you can watch the workers while the tour guide gives the tour, it is completely glassed off from the plant part.

@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.

@cherokeepatti Excellent!
