My favorite grocery store has closed permanently. I shopped at the next
closest one (18 miles) yesterday. The things they were out of were weird.
No flour, no sugar, no mayonnaise, no bread, no eggs, no chicken, no TP, no
paper towels, no potatoes, no bananas. The only one I was really worried
about was flour. I came home and tried to order from Amazon and from King
Arthur. No flour. I still have plenty in the basement but If I continue
to make all of our bread, I'll eventually run out! I ordered cornmeal
instead. I guess we'll eat cornbread!!
I watched a video on how to safely buy and put up groceries. You are
supposed to leave them on the porch or garage for 3 days before bringing
them in the house and then you should sanitize everything!!
