Was able to get almost all I wanted. I even saw toilet tissue in Dollar General, but it was behind a grid someone put in front of the shelves (imaginge TP under lock and key like cigarettes). Maybe you have to ask for it or they are only letting limited quantities be purchased. I don't really need it at present and I am not going to pay the greedy, selfish consumer at this point.

I am still looking for yellow corn meal. Nobody has it and I wonder why when they have plenty of white corn meal. Also can't find garlic powder. The grocery store has a few bottles, but it was solidified. I didn't but any meat. I have a package of braising beef and another of chicken parts in the freezer. Bought grape and orange juice...yummy. A box of cake mix so I can make myself a birthday cake tomorrow to have on Friday, salad fixins, a few dairy products, flour, sugar and baking mix. They seemed to be fairly well-stocked.

Your grocery stores carry cigarettes? Ours don't.
 

Our local Wal Mart is out of butter, except for $11 huge rolls of Amish butter. They have a whole case of those. I may break down and buy one if I run completely out.

Our supermarkets do.... they are sold at a kiosk separate to the grocery aisles and since about 2 years ago now, have had to be hidden from view behind sliding doors.., cigarettes are sold alongside Gamblers not so anonymous and their need for scratchcards ....

Yesterday we went grocery shopping. They have the store aisles marked with One Way ^ arrows or No Entry signs, every other one to keep people apart. I felt like a rat going through a maze. If nothing was needed on an aisle, it messed up the flow to the next one. We got some things we needed, but no wheat flour, frozen chicken, dishwasher detergent, or gluten free foods. Fresh vegetables and some meats were available, though, and we scored a pack of Northern TP {the first seen in 2 months}. Nobody said the zombie apocalypse would be easy.

I was on the road from 8am. Had to go to 7 places in 3 different cities just to get stuff I needed and still didn't get everything on my list. This is becoming exhausting.
 
Went grocery shopping this morning.....the paper isle was empty except for a few paper towels, and a handful of kleenex boxes, first time i've seen paper products so empty, also noticed several price increases on some items, some jacked up by a fair bit.
 
Another irking think is when the store had limited quantities, what is left on the shelf is over the expiration date or the packaging is compromised. It like telling the customer - you have to take second best.

If you see items past their expiration date, advise the store manager. They will almost certainly clear those past sell-by dates from the shelves immediately. Employees can't possibly have eyes on every product.

Compromised packaging? Non necessarily a deal-breaker for me. Depends on the item, the type of packaging and how badly I want it.
