crafty_packratYesterday I finally went to a grocery -- I hadn't been since March 23rd. I was careful to make a list so I that I didn't get distracted from necessities that I can't get at the local farmer's market like ginger root, cream, bananas and parchment paper, all of which I was out of.
I went about a half hour after noon, so it wasn't too busy. They were surprisingly out of almost all bar soap -- just a package of Irish Spring, a package of dial, and few individual bars of a fancy coconut oil soap left on the shelves. Dish soap and dishwasher detergent weren't quite as stripped bare, but they weren't much better
Also they were out spray-oil, having only Pam with flour and a toasted sesame oil left. I would have liked to get some, as it makes oiling a bowl for bread to rise in easier, but neither of those would do.
The canned beans were pretty ravaged, and also the mac-and-cheese aisle. There wasn't much sugar left, though there was some. They did have restaurant-labeled bags of flour, but I don't need 25 lbs of flour; that's definitely overkill for a one-person kitchen.
Most people were good about masks, though there were a few who had them pulled down to expose their noses, so yeah.
Next time I'll bring my shopping cart. It will make carrying things easier and I'll be able to judge how much I'm buying better.
