What 'unusual' thing is sold out at your supermarket?

[old lady]

I can understand certain things, but cookies. I went to the store and there were no snacks.

In my area, All fresh meats seem to be sold out at multiple stores except for pork. Shelves are pretty much empty of entire sections of food. As someone who doesn’t get worried about hoarding, it’s still sad to see people loading their carts with large multiples of items when other shoppers are missing out on essentials now that shelves are empty

We have a fabulous "small town meat market" in our little town that has a fully stocked meat counter. This family owned market has served our little town for many, many years and they keep these cases full throughout the day!

...and then there's the local chain grocery...

Just got back and it was SO stressful. Produce and fresh meat are essentially gone. Limits of two breads TOTAL (buns, rolls, loaves or tortillas, etc.), limit 1 carton eggs per family. As well as limits on boxes, cans, dairy, etc but many sections are fully gone. Hour check out wait while a manager comes by to ensure you aren’t over many limits.

We have SINGLE digit Coronavirus cases in our whole state.

This...is nuts.

And there will hopefully continue to only be single digit coronaviruses cases in your state if people continue to stock up, stay home, and social distance....
The spread of this illness can be stopped only by prevention, not reaction. So, it’s good that people are following quarantine protocol with only one case There is a great video online of Italians saying what they could say to themselves ten days ago...

Just trying to be encouraging! It would be more nuts if people waited for the illness to spread throughout their community and then quarantine.

In the UK all supermarkets seem to have introduced a limit on what you can buy. They already had for things like TP but now you can only buy a max of 3 of *any item*
Managed to buy some pasta for the first time in weeks.

Shampoo and conditioner. I didn't know I needed to stockpile this.

I have stockpiled shampoo and conditioner...the H20 kind...in little sizes...from a resort...

We moved in August and I got rid of a bunch of sample sizes..

Who knew then that life would be a hot mess seven months later.

Dh did drive thru to treat me a shamrock shake and chicken nuggets for dinner (used salad at home to supplement).

that's what I had for dinner Saturday night, but I didn't supplement.

Our Publix has absolutely no chicken of any kind – I'm not sure how unusual that is, but we thought it was kind of odd.

here in nj too

 

[disneyworldsk]

Kitty litter. What?!

use shredded newspaper (says hubby the vet)

 

[disneyworldsk]

70% rubbing alcohol
That’s what I use to clean everything in the house normally... as well as my ratings & pierced ears holes( I only have 1 hole in each ear in case your wondering lol).
Shelves are wiped out in our local drug stores & supermarket here in Florida

same no rubbing alcohol and we need it for work for disinfectant

 

[disneyworldsk]

apparently milk you can freeze - who knew?!

Yep, it freezes very well. When I was young and started my first job at 15(back in 1988), there was a lady who's husband was in the military and they had, in the past, been stationed in Panama. She said that they would fly in groceries from the states once a month. So they would get their milk allowance for the whole month and freeze it. I think that more people need to know this. It might help some preserve their milk. Side note, last week when we went to Walmart, there was a family that bought 12 gallons of milk(hoarding) and I assume they were going to freeze it.

 

[MinnieLovesMickey]

I think at this point, it would be easier to name the things that are still in stock vs what's sold out.

 

[Dole_whip_doll]

Your all just lucky they had some sort of food. Lol slim pickins up here. Wallmart had only tripe left for meat. Some stores no dairy, veg, fruit or meats.

Ours only had chicken feet!!!!

 

[Jamie77]

I heard nobody’s buying Dasani water...

 

[Ellie Webbs]

No one bought any wasabi ready meals...

DW sent me out with a list at 7am hoping they had stocked shelves overnight.

Still no tp of course.

But the weird one was banana peppers. We are making pizza for dinner tonight and the section of jarred peppers was completely wiped out. Pizza will be a little bit less flavorful
