After pondering this matter and reading Daisy’s recent article, I have noticed the following:
- Grocery store remodel/expansion happened recently, yet the meat manager himself told me they made less room for meat.
- At the same place, we came on a Monday night, and there was very little meat to purchase.
- This morning, I went to another store that is stocked all day long and noticed that the rice we have purchased there for years is no longer available. Cashews (which we do not purchase) were almost all gone. Other shelves seemed more bare than normal. According to one of the workers, they receive TWO truckloads of food daily.
My takeaway: If it hasn’t happened to you yet, it’s coming. Find alternative ways to purchase foods like meat AND stock up on as much as possible.
