I have shopped extensively over the past couple of weeks, and the only thing that I couldn’t find was meringue powder (it’s used a lot for Christmas baking). All of the things that were in short supply last spring were well stocked.

In my area, I noticed that the regular grocery store is carrying fewer luxury brands or pricey items (I had to order almond paste online)


Which area?

I’ve seen huge displays of sugar and all purpose flour. Self-rising flour is hard to find. We are a biscuit family and I am looking for that. Also King Syrup.


You can make your own self rising flour from all purpose.


Yes, I know. Just not interested in the extra measuring and sifting. I can get 4 fresh hot biscuits on the table every morning with minimal mess and time.

We couldn't find regular english muffins yesterday. I also think if you order online you get fewer offerings than if you go in person.

Not seeing a lack of anything either. Was just at the store and they have two aisles of seasonal stuff including everything for cooking and baking. Lovely displays of plenty to reassure us!

Why are you stocking up?

For the most part I've only seen a continued increase of stock on store shelves.

All the grocery stores around me in Va are good on baking products. Lots of sugar, flour, and even the much desired yeast.
