How are you coping with the food shortages?

[Anonymous No.17430724]

I’ve unironically been hoarding when I find something that I like, because I’m not sure it will be there again next week.

ausfag, the food shortages are somewhat over, things are slowly getting back to normal. toilet paper is still really hard to get. The last ~5 times I've been to the shops in the past month or so, only once was there any of it, and I got the 2nd last pack on the shelf and kind of regret not getting both of them as that was 2 weeks ago and I still haven't been able to find any more.

[Anonymous No.17430745]

I haven't noticed a shortage of anything. Maybe a slight uptick in prices.

Beef is definitely way more expensive.

I do my shopping at Costco, a local Co-op and a mom and pop grocer/butcher.

These photos look like they were taken at the beginning of covid when people were hoarding everything.

If the fourth largest city in the country is experiencing it, I’m guessing it’s even worse everywhere else.

Dang that sucks! Is the shortage just at your Walmart? Or all your stores?

[Anonymous No.17430759]

>>17430722
I haven't been to a grocery store in over 3 years. Usually just get them delivered and never had a messed up order or missing/broken items (whole foods, albertson's and walmart). Every time the last year or so the wife actually goes to the store to get a few fresh things, she comes back and mentions some new BS such as, "they didn't have carrots, red onion, etc. or there were some empty shelves". Thanks for reading the ol' blog, faggots. Tldr: have your bitch or wagies do your shopping. It will save you hours, gas, time, etc.

It’s mostly Walmart. I still ended up leaving with about half of what I needed, but there were things I wasn’t able to find.
>no cream cheese for my bagels
>no chili for hot dogs
>no taco sauce for tacos
>no green onions
>no bacon for breakfast
>no steak cut French fries
>no tilapia
I’m not going to starve because of it, but I really wanted to make those dishes.

pacific northwest here, TP hasn't been scarce since hoarding it was a meme 1.5 years ago or so.
it is hard to get specific brand items. I haven't been able to get Tyson chicken tendies, they're only in stock once every couple of weeks. every once in a while stuff like bacon or certain cuts of chicken will be entirely missing from stores.
Other than that it's not so bad but everything is a lot more expensive.

Not here.
I shop at ALDI, an IGA, and sometimes Walmart in a rural Midwest area and only the ALDI had any items missing, which actually has been occurring with various ALDI brand items since at least November.
I've noticed people hoarding in that same ALDI several times since winter started, usually eggs, chicken, beef, etc.

I was just recently in the store and they had no cream cheese either. Happened when I was actually in the mood for bagels in the first time for a couple years too lol. Plain Greek yogurt is a pretty close substitute though.

>>17430722
as someone who worked in grocery i feel like people have a zero percent tolerance for empty shelves, like clearly our shit sells out on a regular basis otherwise there would be rotting produce everywhere. it's just that it's insta-replenished so most people don't notice. seeing empty shelves isn't shocking to me because it could easily be something like "oh we missed a delivery today" and not the absolute apocalypse because you don't have fresh food from every corner of the planet in your no name dying town for a single day. half the time people were outraged over an empty shelf or missing product i'd get a little jaded because it's such entitlement to expect some fresh shit, out of season, from across the country in the middle of winter but they do not recognize that.

Out of curiosity, did you get pissed if people asked whether an empty shelf meant you were completely out, or if you had more in the back?

[Anonymous No.17431336]

publix was out of hashbrowns for about a week but that's all i've seen desu. weird that they still had french fries but no hashbrowns, figured it was a supply chain issue and not an actual shortage lol

[Tenser No.17431367]

Prices are up a bit, every now and then an item or two is unavailable, but my "shitty flyover state" has had no issues. Biden inflation is real, and the supply chain is busted in a lot of ways, but food is still abundant. Im also surrounded by farms.

[Anonymous No.17431414]

>>17431334
Kind of, but not really because we get asked that several times a day, not about empty shelves (because that's extremely extremely rare in my store) but about product not on the shelf. I don't even live in a busy area and it was a slow store but people ask the same exact questions multiple times a day. You think you're unique asking about this peanut butter sale but no, you're the third person today who missed the huge display in the front. It's like asking if the store is open, from inside the store, like I'm not gonna get upset if three people ask me in a row that same stupid ass question. Yes, sometimes we do have it in the back but that's the exception, not the rule. If we thought we had it, we would have it out. What's worse is the 1 out of 3 of those people get upset and ask me why or some shit like that, that is when I get pissed.

Also yes 99.99% of the time I go back there it's all theater, I know we don't have it. Part of my job was recording what we didn't have in stock, and half of the time I did that after stocking what we got in that day. There is no boomer customer who in any universe would ever be satisfied with an authentic answer like that from me though, even if I just did this same song and dance not even an hour ago. And they know it's fake.
