    Pretty dried up here,no chicken,not much pork or no burger at meijer and wallyworld has little..local market only 2 lb burger allowed to buy.
    we dont even have any reported cases in the UP of meatchicken yet.

    Walmart that my wife shops at was somewhat bare most meats gone. Grocery side looked bare.
    We stocked meat last week not becasue of the virus but becasue that is what we do during sales Looks like next decent day that pork loin is going on the smoker.

    Makes me even happier that I put that deer in the jars, . . . and bought a 1/4 of a beef in January.

    Sad part is, . . . I'm almost out of burger, . . . gonna have to start puttin them steaks on the grill.

    Oh, well, . . . guess it could be worse.

    May God bless,

    I keep a goodly supply of canned chicken, beef, and tuna in my stock. Ditto freeze dried sausage for spaghetti. Not as good as fresh of course, but it's a lot grittier when there's none. Still amazing to me the number of people with nothing at all set aside. I have toilet paper sealed in vacuum bags that is over 10 years old easy LOL.

    I agree with you SratMaster I also cannot believe people don't even have a few days of food. I personally don't like running to the store for something right when I run out. I have family members that said I should check and see extras that I could sell to other family members. My immediate family can jump from 4-7 anytime. So I'm looking after us first. I can for us not for others as it takes a lot of time and effort. So I told them they better start thinking ahead!

    I've bought 2 small packs of ground chuck each of the last 2 days. Zero Yard Buzzard. Finally had bread products in. Some peanut butter to last a couple of days.

    I quit buying food last Independence Day so I could use up my supply before they got spoiled.

    I still have enough to get me by during this hard time.

    I had to take my mom to the doctor today, so while I was in the city I decided to stop by the grocery store just because curiosity got the best of me. WOW!

    The meat aisle was completely empty except for some really awful steaks. The meat was actually gray! They still had a limit of 2 per customer! I think after eating those steaks, you be begging for the China Flu!

    They did not have single drop of milk or butter in the place. Every single pasta noodle was gone! Yet, one aisle over, they still had plenty of flour, salt and sugar. Why would you buy pasta when it is so insanely simple (and better) to make?

    They did have some eggs which is not a big surprise since a lot of people here keep chickens.

    The bread was the really crazy part. The shelves for the fresh bread from the in-store bakery were about half full. But one aisle over, the really crappy chemically enhanced bread was completely gone! Who the hell says to themselves: "Should I get a loaf of good fresh bread or a loaf of the really crappy Wonder Bread? Sign me up for 6 loaves of Wonder Bread!" - Crazy!

    The other big surprise was walking by the cheese cooler. All the crappy Kraft and Velveeta cheeses were gone, but the high-end cheeses were not only fully stocked, they were also on sale for between 30 and 40% off! So I loaded up on a 6-pack of root beer and about $50 worth of good cheese!

    People are like retards or something!

    Our meat aisle was stripped as well but low and behold tons of prepackaged corned beef. Not to mention plenty of hambones. Both of those are good eating so I stocked up today.

    The fresh fruit and veggie are is full of stuff. While the frozen junk is wiped out. Guess no one ever thought a out canning or freezing their own.

    I wish I would've bought stock in grocery stores. They seem to be making out in all of this.

    We have everything we need at Slippy Lodge, and more...or so I thought!

    This am, Mrs Slippy, bless her heart, awoke from her beauty slumber and proclaimed...

    "I am going to the damn grocery store, I want to make sure I have my Palmetto Cheese Spread! The Piggly Wiggly (the closest grocery store in our rural neck of the woods) doesn't carry it so I'm going to the Publix (in suburban hell)."

    ....and in a split second she was out the door!

    Evidently my calculated and comprehensive approach to being prepared did not include Palmetto Cheese; "The Pimento Cheese with Soul"!

    If any of you care or are concerned, I may die over a container of Cheesy Goodness but my lovely bride will be happy...
