How Much Food Do You Have Right Now?

[Don M.]

The evening news said that Wendy's has run out of meat for their hamburgers, and one of the big local grocery chains is limiting meat purchases to 4 items per customer. So, it appears that these recent meat processing plant shutdowns are already having an effect on the meat supplies.
We always have plenty of food on hand...a well stocked freezer in the basement, and plenty of canned goods. I suppose with a little planning, we could get by on what we have, for several weeks. When this virus hit, and people started hoarding TP, etc., we bought a couple of packs of powdered milk, and some flour. Worst case, we can use the powdered milk on our breakfast cereal, etc., and my wife knows how to make bread.

I read the same yesterday about grocery store limiting customers to 4 meat items. Could be the same chain.
I'd volunteer to give up meat during the shortage so people who need more could have it- but I'll bet the way most people (around here anyway) will deal with the new rule is to simply go to the store more often.
