It was PACKED. We are expecting -25 F over the weekend, and people want to get their shopping done so they don't have to go outside.
It was NUTS!
As for running out of food. I grew up in the country, so I can't honestly picture that. We have two chest freezers, filled with meat and veggies. Not to mention the canned carrots and red sauce. We may run out of milk, but I have never ran out of food. The closest I have ever gotten was in college where we ended up eating Chef Boradi (sp) for a few days because we ran out of money.
But in the city, I can see it being an issue. My sister lives in Chicago, and they don't have the room for the type of food storage that we do.
“Just trying to get some yogurt...”
You are lucky you weren’t shopping at our local grocery store. The yogurt was almost all gone! Don’t know what flavors were left, but certainly the most unpopular ones. All kinds, sold out!
Also, the eggs were almost gone, all that remained of the Eggland’s Best were a few opened carton, all with at least one broken egg. We were able to buy the store brand, so that was OK for us.
Some of the produce and bread was also in skimpy supply. I don’t know if some of their deliveries got stuck out west due to weather or if folks just went nuts purchasing.
We have all that we need food wise, and we thank the Good Lord, and our hardy workers at Shoprite!
