Hahahaha Well, things are improving, from the foodie forums I haunt different stores in different areas can vary wildly, even amongst the same chains. For awhiles there was a meat "shortage", but I've been able to get everything I need, albeit at sometimes higher prices, e.g. the one - pound chuck steaks I order from Amazon Fresh almost doubled in price to ten bux. A poster on LTH Forum (link below) IIRC said that for awhiles canned tomaters were kinda scarce, etc.: https://www.lthforum.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=45608&sid=6bc5143a4dc71043ac2da7613fdc8883 Back a few months or even weeks ago it was like shopping in the old USSR or East Germany*, you could not plan on specific items being available either in person or online, for awhiles I had to weigh whether to consume certain items, common stuff like Diet Coke, facial tissues, frozen veg, canned staples, etc. thinking, "What if these items become really scarce, do I REALLY need that tissue or can of soda..." Could not order from Amazon Fresh for a month, even Prime Pantry was pretty dire. Now all seems to be ramping up pretty well, but still have to scrounge for odd bits such as facial tissue... Today I felt like I won the lottery, found a case of hydrogen peroxide on Amazon, 12 32oz bottles for $20.00...NIRVANA...!!! But isopropyl alcohol is still scarce or skank expensive... Anyways, I'm a singleton, at least I don't have to provide for a family... [*peeps in the old communist nations always carried a string or other shopping bag, referred to as a "perhaps bag". If you saw a queue of shoppers, you knew something decent was on sale, so you would have your shopping bag with you and line up to buy detergent, batteries, tomatoes, decent meat, pantyhose, imported chocolate, real coffee, car parts, tampons or citrus or whatever. This was why communism eventually fell, citizens were simply EXHAUSTED from the hunt for basic goods - even in the more 'prosperous' places such as East Germany, Czechoslovakia..] -- Best Greg |

I'll sometimes eat them raw if I see a live/fresh oyster. If it's frozen or in a jar, it gets cooked. I'm not a big fan of these things. Eating more than a couple and I'll start to feeling sick. |

I like to keep frozen chopped onions on hand. I haven't seen a package of those in at least a month. Bag after bag, after bag, after bag of riced cauliflower though. |

Eating more than a couple and I'll start to feeling sick. Frozen or jarred? I guess there's not much to lose then. |

It's an American cereal noted for being healthful: whole grain wheat flour, malted barley flour, isolated soy protein, salt, whole grain barley flour, malt extract and dried yeast It resembles grape seeds. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grape-Nuts> Cindy Hamilton |

My husband eats Grape Nuts, although not for that reason. He finds it has more "staying power" than other cereals, which leave him hungry soon afterward. Cindy Hamilton |

Hahahaha The small s/m near me that I use had lots of packets of yeast the other day but very little flour. |

I think there are dozens of cereals available at the supermarket here. I never look there. |

He lives in Toronto and he makes routine shopping trips to NY state primarily for Grape Nuts. I had thought that they were not as good as they used to be and he said they had changed the recipe in Canada but the US version was unchanged. I bought some in NY and I have to agree they are more like the old style. So ... yes, Jon buys it by the case. |

A lot goes through you quickly. |

I am missing pickleball and the car pool with two friend to get there. Also missing the motorcycle rides with my buddy. We used to go out once a week for a ride along the parkway and then stop at Oast House brewery for one really nice beer. We can't even stop for coffee now. |

My wife paid an extra $1200 and got a multi corrective lens implant. She had worn glasses since she was a kid and for the first time in 60 years no longer needed them. However, she later suffered from a detached retina. The corrective surgery was successful, but now she needs reading glasses in low light. > All that driving back and forth on the day of the surgery, is there a > motel y'all could stay at overnight? Just a suggestion even though I > know you'd rather be at home afterward. We were lucky because my wife's surgery was only 15 minutes away, and the doctor's office for the follow up about the same distance, though in the opposite direction. When we went in for my wife's retinal surgery there was an old lady there by herself. She had arrived by bus and was planning to go home by bus. She had no family other than a niece who works. They would not do the cataract surgery unless she had someone to drive her home. |
