did some grocery shopping early this morning. the store is looking a lot more picked over then last time I went a few days ago. they've started restocking from new suppliers, brands I've never seen in this store before. all the workers are wearing masks and gloves.

it's still got plenty of food, but they haven't restocked on everything. ground turkey is all gone, but ground beef isn't. chicken breasts are all gone but chicken wings aren't. cleaning supplies are still very low or absent. frozen food starting to get depleted now too.

there are 1-per-customer limits on milk, eggs, and toilet paper now (and they're out of TP again as of this morning). the mood in the store is kinda grim. all of the staff were grumbling and unhappy.

anyway I bought some good chocolate and a bunch of frozen pizzas (and real food too, but I've been having a craving for pizza) so I'm good for another 4-5 days at least. it's just gonna get even weirder from here isn't it?

I am getting Skip the Dishes until that stops working, then digging into my prep food. Not easy on the pocketbook, admittedly, but if things get really bad I'd rather have the saved food than the extra few hundred bux on my credit card.

seems unnecessary for my situation (and possibly yours too?) the local store is just having trouble keeping up with local demand. there is not actually a food shortage in the country. smaller stores have not sold out of anything. can still buy TP at corner stores no problem.

Even if I am not panicked about general shortages, I think it makes sense, tho. I went home sick yesterday, and am trying to limit my exposure to anyone for two weeks. Pretty sure I have enough to ride it out comfortably, but definitely don't want to do a grocery run.

Thanks! Not worried for myself, not in any of the demographics this thing kills, but trying to be civically responsible
