Can we get a little context?
Like when and where?
It matters. For example, our local shelves were as full as they could be 5 days ago. But a nasty winter storm here in S Texas means that the non-winter-drivers around here bought the grocery stores out in the last 48 hours. This has happened every time there has been a weather event for the last 20 years.
context
I am in Pennsylvania and this was this past Saturday. That is not the usual for Walmart. I know I hate Walmart but there aren't really any small grocery stores, family owned around here.
No need to apologize for shopping at walmart.
I partonize mom & pop every time i can. But the big huge non-walmart grocery chains like piggly wiggly and HEB and Safeway, etc are NO BETTER than walmart at all the things that walmart is bad about.
Thanks for the context.
let us know if the situation is permanent or temporary.
I will take pictures next time I am there and post.
right on
That photo looks pretty much like every grocery store here (Virginia) for the past several weeks. Virtually no chicken. I was at a local Walmart yesterday and they had a few packs of legs or thighs, no breasts or wings except frozen, two of the expensive Perdue whole roasting hens. Some hamburger, more than a few days ago but not a lot. Plenty of pork and expensive steaks.
BTW, I have stopped buying hamburger from Martins. The packages look okay in the store but when I get them home, they're sopping with blood. Can't even open the package without a bloody mess. Stupid stunt to cheat you out of a few pennies.
What is getting worse is the canned catfood. I went to a Walmart, a Martins and a Food Lion the other day and none had more than a two or three cans and one had none.
Weis is pretty good if you're in PA. my brisket mentioned below are often buy 2 get 1 or buy 1 get 1 which cuts my costs even further
A storm is predicted where I live, and shoppers picked some store sections pretty clean in case they had to hunker down. Will visit a few days after storm to recheck supply
The cracker section was wiped out yesterday and a roast was $70
Crackers I read months ago were going to be hard to get because of some kind of strike on cracker companies. Saltines are the hardest to find but yesterday they had none except Club crackers.
