I do miss potatoes.

The store I went to still had potatoes. I’m always amazed that you can buy
nice big baking potatoes for 49 to 99 cents per pound. Easiest thing in the
world to bake, just stick them on the oven rack for an hour. Even better than
bananas because you can eat the skin. And you can put some of your bacon on
them!
I don’t see how anybody makes money selling potatoes, it has to be a loss
leader.

I went by the meat shop today, father in law is offering a side of beef, who am
I to say no.
They're 2 weeks out on packages
They're always 2 weeks out on packages
I guess the hoarders think retail packaging and prices are better for survival
than white paper wrapped fresh killed cow that is a 1/4 cheaper

I went to a Raley's last night for kicks and there was nothing: no eggs,
no dairy, no canned goods, no frozen foods, no breads, no condiments, no
paper goods (towels, napkins, TP, etc.), no cleaning products, no baking
staples like flour, not even jello. They did have plenty of fresh
produce but not potatoes. No lines to check out so I bought ice cream,
chips, and reeses. Bakery and deli counters had normal supply, but all
self serve things were pulled with notices to ask (i.e. donuts). Bulk
bins section was mostly untouched.
A store near me this morning was similar but the hoarders made the line
wrap around the inside of the store so I walked out rather than wait
forever to buy literally two items I can wait to get later (bread flour
and powdered milk for my bread machine). A local butcher shop was
cleaned out within 10 minutes of opening except for bacon. All the
liquor aisles were fully stocked though.
The takeaway here is if you need bacon and hard liquor you're good to go.
