[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Literally the only thing I haven’t been able to find is bagged onions.

If in year 3 of a pandemic, you haven’t figured out how to shop in advance and keep staples on hand, well, you are beyond help. [/quote]

You obviously haven’t been keeping up with the news. I’ve been to multiple grocery stores on several different days over the last couple of weeks, and they were all out of milk and large sections of produce were empty. It’s temporary, but it’s happening.[/quote]

It is periodic and overblown. I’ve been in Whole Foods— one brand of yogurt was out of stock. I’ve been in Giant—nothing missing. I’ve been to Mom’s—nothing missing.  Target has been out of onions.

You might want to start shopping locally if this really worries you. [b]I buy all my meat and eggs from local farmers[/b]. [/quote]

You know all 6 million of us in the DC metro area can’t do this, right?  The logistics don’t work.  [/quote]

Also, why would anyone need to go to target, WF, giant, and mom’s in a week? Is grocery shopping a hobby?[/quote]

I regularly go to 4 stores a week. I buy my staples at a discount store, meat at a bucher, discount store doesn't have nice fruit so I go to an independent grocer for apples, HMart for things not stocked at other stores or things I can get much cheaper there. Most of these stores are within a 1 mile radius of my home and the other is near work so I'm not using tons of extra time and fuel to get what I want at the best price.[/quote]
