I was in the store earlier on in this and the lady next to me said there was nothing left and I looked around, my cart was full, her cart was full and there was still PLENTY on the shelves. More than enough to go around. Her perspective was very, very different than mine.

I know there are some places that say there are tons of shortages. Well I don't think it is necessarily shortages - just stocking problems.<br />Oh I know that was the reason for the sadness. I am sad a lot - but it was worse last week!

One year I got antsy and planted about now and didn't lose a thing but that was a different year.<br /><br />Your meals always sound so interesting. I'll admit I've occasionally used one of your ideas to spin off one of my own.

I was hoping not to go to the shops until DB needs his next prescription which we get in Asda but the fresh milk is nearly gone. I do have long life but I don't like it in tea which apart from water is mainly all I drink. I think I'm going to put up with it as its not a good experience in most of our shops. Most people are just barging past to get to what they want instead of waiting their turn. I'm glad your experience was good.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100301243943578043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-13717025957697923302020-04-26T15:02:16.871-04:002020-04-26T15:02:16.871-04:00Masks are requested - but some still don't and...Masks are requested - but some still don't and no one demands it. I would think things in NY would be more than they are here in the midsection of the country. Most everything here, even property is cheaper. 39 cents a pound is crazy good!

Seems like they are getting paid for something that can't be complete.<br />My sister refused to that - so they scheduled her for later this spring.<br /><br />Glad you got the dirt.

The only thing in the baking aisle was sugar and sugar substitutes. We wanted produce and they had plenty of that. Prices are higher here. Milk is over a dollar more then it was in February. Eggs are more too. Meat prices are crazy. So glad for my chest freezer. Hams are on sale this coming week for 39¢ a pound so I will try to get them. In NY you must wear gloves and a mask to enter a store. I went during a rain storm so the store was very empty. I didn't have to wait to go in. Hubby did a doctors visit on the computer. That was weird. We had 8 yards of dirt delivered yesterday morning. The 4 of us got it done. We ordered pizza as a treat(and I was very tired). Have a wonderful week.

I am glad they closed temporarily and are thoroughly sanitizing for the workers. I have been accumulating canned meat for quite a while - got more the other day. Just in case.<br /><br />It is strange to see roads so quiet. I can't imagine an empty subway! Never been to one but have seen them on TV and they always look super rushed.<br />Glad you don't have to go out often.

Stock wasn't bad - I've found that some weeks certain things will be scarce, but the next time they are restocked and it's something else that is missing or limited. I think it's more a case of deliveries being backed up than real shortages - at the moment. We now have some closures of pork and chicken manufacturing plants here in Canada so I think that will have an impact down the road.<br />I did go into my office on Friday - for the first time since March 17th. Didn't see anyone else and spent 3 hours getting caught up on a lot of online things that are difficult from home on my old laptop. I rode a practically empty subway - with seats taped off to maintain distance - and walked through an underground shopping centre to my Pharmacy to pickup a prescription - again, like a ghost town when normally there would be 100's of office workers at the shops, restaurants and coffee shops etc. - they have limited their hours and only a handful of coffee shops are open and all chairs & benches have been removed. It was very odd. But, one of the very upscale grocery stores was open so picked up some fresh veg and milk while passing by. I wore gloves and a mask and most of those working in the stores now wear masks as well.<br />It was great to see a different part of the city again but a bit of a disconcerting experience.Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.com
