What I couldn't get this week shopping

What brand maybe I could search here and mail it to you.....funny idea....was online and of course people will give their opinions on stocking up for ots like war time back when world War 2 movies show then the need for such ideas a kind of it must be that time again .....
Of course, I was not around or even though of then.....
I came about after those facts......even though wars after never came within reach of our grocery stores as now because of good ole China not the dinner ware ....
Too keep China from attacking us as Russia has begun to do at their end, seems eerie however, to wait to hear the other boot to drop. Or is it ....that's how the cookies crumble...... strange as it is though, grocery shelves are somewhat empty here and there....makes one feel as a very uneasy thing happening just over our shoulders .........right? Or am I dreaming while fully awake.....ahhhh....now to escape into a book of Haley Mills.
 
I noticed the Entenmann's shelf was nearly empty when I went to our neighborhood supermarket earlier this week. Then coincidentally (I guess), I saw on the news 1 or 2 days later that the founder of the company, Charles Entenmann, had died. I usually go to that supermarket every 7 - 10 days and I noticed before this week they wouldn't always have the same variety of Entenmann's cakes but the shelves would be full nonetheless.

Had to go to 4 different stores today to get the brand of cat food my cats like. I bought them another brand and they went on a hunger strike for 2 days. Brats!

My tabby (profile picture) has a fish allergy. So for their can treat I was giving them the Fancy Feast tender liver and chicken. Though I just noted it does have fish when I had found it on a list of fish free. I wonder if they changed the formula. So far, she's been OK. Symptom is mouth swelling.

It's been hard to find but perhaps I can give her some other flavors as long as fish isn't on the actual label as main ingredient. I had been feeding them wilderness canned for years and it was twice the price though Fancy Feast is going up. Luckily mine eat anything.

Wow! I never heard of a cat that was allergic to fish.

Kind of self diagnosed on my part. And in researching it does happen. Luckily this was the only symptom. And since I noted this food does have fish, I'm not sure if she outgrew it or if it was only the tuna/salmon cans that really bothered her. But since I had made the switch her mouth has never swelled again.

What does this remind you of?
The old movies of World War 2 of England Read the truckers were upset about something, wearing masks.
Would that hold back a lot of items not bring delivered?
And the distance rule in the making producing these items would make a difference.
Plus, have we become spoiled as well.
With all this covid-19 etc. A means in pulling us down by good ole China and Russia in want for water.....both from communist dictatorships.
Seems us little people can feel it coming.
Reality is not what we're use to.
Now what........already too many people China's way to go about it.
And Russia wanting back what they had killing children without seeing them. The video showed a blast as he was trying to help a mother c and her children out of their house he was at the end of the driveway coercing the family out when tje blast happened right at the man's left side as if it blew Jim away the narrator c said he was ok yet not the family sounds weird.
 
I haven't had any problems finding what I need, with a few substitutions.

I have noticed in three local markets recently that Stouffer's freezer sections are almost empty. I'm curious to know if this is due to packaging materials, food products, distribution, etc...

Before that, it was the Tyson and the Jimmy Dean sections of the freezer cases.

It's amazing, and a little bit scary to me, how much of our food comes from a few massive corporations.

Yes it is scary. I won't eat those frozen dinners more than once in a great while; like emergency. If I don't have anything to cook, I'll eat eggs or oatmeal.
 
Must be from WW2 ERA.
I just bought reality beans not Bush's
Funny delivery choices to deliver me cranberry juice I never ordered.
Blueberry pie with a two day expiration date and croissants one day expiration date. Nice with high cost rising every time I order four orders this month ranging from $35.00, $92.00,$58.00, $76.00......I am so tired of this country sucking up over the top of poor peoples life due to groceries pickers, delivery charges, service charges, and don't forget tips to also be reminded 20% is what it would cost me to use a taxi both ways.
I think with China and Russia and Trump building up China to be #1.....what more ....can a President do to bring a playboy bunny in from a point where all men can worship his ideals. His daughter uses China as a cheap means to bring her clothing market about while America struggles to recover from all the underhanded hand outs to countries corrupt in stead of jobs here
After this U will probably be banned for good from here.....

I'm sorry that the prices are affecting you so deeply. To be fair though, it's not the grocery store's fault that you can't shop in person. When orders are placed for delivery, employees have to pick, pack, verify, and deliver groceries. All those people need to be paid, presumably more than minimum wage, and the gasoline to fill their tanks cost them as much as it does the rest of us.

"To be fair though, it's not the grocery store's fault that you can't shop in person"

True, that isn't their fault, but I shop online and pick groceries up, so no delivery fee's involved and yet my grocery bill has gone way up for less items. Lower income people are feeling the crunch. We don't have the luxury of I want it, I can afford it so I'll buy it. We have been parring down on what we purchase to eat for the last year and now its down to the barest needs to survive, forget healthy meals, and it not just food either, household cleaning supplies, OTC meds, pets needs, need a few items of clothing? Noting left to buy clothing. BTW I love thrift stores for clothing. Its not the stores employee's fault, they have no control over the high costs so no one is blaming them, they are just trying to survive also.

No argument here. My groceries are at least 15%-20% higher than a year or so ago. With transportation costs spiraling up, it looks like this is likely to get worse before it gets better. :(
 
Got everything but store-brand cheese crackers. I've come to the conclusion that brand named goods are available, it's the store brands that are scarce or unavailable. I got the last bottle of diet lemon-lime soda on the shelf. Also bought Smart Balance margarine, refrigerator pie crusts, vanilla ice cream, peanut butter ice cream, 32 oz yogurt, store brand Cheerios and a box of Great Grains cereal. Came to $42.52 (that's about £34).
