The grocery stores being empty HYPE is PURE BULLSHIT to hide the real story. The cheaper foods are being bought up because the economy has been turned to shit and that's all anyone can afford. Ramen, canned meat, processed cheese, boxed pasta. It's NOT a food supply problem. It's an economic problem. There was also no kraft singles cheese at my store or pasta yesterday. But there was plenty of steak nobody can afford.
Rana is our goto Ravioli in a bag now. I have seen some refrigerated brands in specialty stores years ago, though that Rana is hard to beat if you don't make it yourself.
We make our own pasta. You can get an attachment to go on a Kitchen Aide mixer. Much better than store bought. Silky. Homemade sauce too. Today is a nasty day here in NE PA. I think a good day to make some pasta for dinner tonight. Our store shelves are somewhat empty for several things, cat food, sometimes chicken, but have loads and loads of Cheese-its crackers, and still lots of coffee.

I agree with this.
People are buying fingerling potatoes and little small potatoes over the larger bagged potatoes because they are cheaper.
People are going back to "Depression era" cooking with spam, ramen, cheap hot dogs and cheap cheese singles.
Who?
I’m still eating rib eyes on sale at 7 bucks a pound.
I’m still eating Ribeyes, flat irons, t-bones at $3.00/pd. But direct from the farmer and get the good stuff at reasonable prices.
I raise my own ribeyes lol, I just have to pay the butcher fee.
How you getting that cheap ? Must be frens with the farmer?
Seriously, it's impossible to find chicken breasts, yet the prices haven't shot up near me lol. Wtf is going on
Not really...chickens breast are located in the usual spot. ; )
You in a largely populated area?
