First World Problem – Random Covid-Era Shortages Of Favorite Grocery Items
[Buck Throckmorton]

The crisis is over – for the first time in almost two months I had Grape Nuts for breakfast today. Meanwhile, my stock of Hormel Bacon Bits continues to shrink, with none on any store shelves. The composition of my nightly salad could be facing a shakeup if Bacon Bits don’t return to the shelves soon.

Almost a year after our economy was turned upside down by economic illiterates, seemingly random grocery items still disappear from store shelves for extended periods. And then human nature kicks in – people stock up on products they use but which have gone scarce. When paper towels and toilet paper became scarce, I aggressively increased my household inventory of those products lest they become unavailable again. Which, of course, compounded the scarcity problem.

I recently asked a stocker at a grocery store why Grape Nuts are so hard to come by. She said that shipments have become infrequent, and when some finally shows up, people quickly buy it in bulk. Who knows - perhaps Grape Nuts will become a post-apocalyptic currency. I finally saw two boxes on the shelf this week. With great restraint I only bought one.

I know that as some of you read this, your main take-away will be “Buck eats Grape Nuts? WTH?” Well for starters, they’re wife-proof. Mrs. Throckmorton might go after my Raisin Bran in a midnight raid on the pantry, but she has no patience or interest while half-asleep in trying to make Grape-Nuts edible. In addition, I’ve liked the product since I was a child.

Unlike Ace’s childhood trauma with Kaboom cereal, I wasn’t denied premium-priced cereal as a kid. We had the good stuff. The only trouble was that it was the “good stuff” for adults. Grape Nuts, Shredded Wheat, Special K. The definition of “children’s cereal” in our house was “adult cereal with lots of sugar added.” And even the sugar was often in adult form – sugar cubes - which were on hand just in case guests wanted to sweeten their coffee. I recall adding crusty old sugar cubes to my Shredded Wheat or Grape Nuts. And I liked it. To this day, I’ll argue that a milky, half-melted sugar cube is preferable to a marshmallow in cereal.

By the way, whatever happened to sugar cubes? I better stock up on them too if I see some.

What random product shortages (outside of paper & cleaning) are you dealing with?

Thanks for letting me fill in this afternoon, but now I need to run to the store. Snow may be coming this way, so I need to run out and buy a couple gallons of milk and a dozen loaves of bread. Just to be safe.

7 I think sugar cubes were the only sugar I could get right at the start of the Great Idiocy of 2020. Used them up.

Only thing in short supply that comes to mind is people I regard as citizens or worthy of respect, institutions the same, and reasons to think there's much chance of improvement. There's plenty of "stuff".

19 Sugar cubes are often found in the booze section of the supermarket. Absinthe? I dunno. I haven't looked for grape nuts, but it seems if ANY item seems to be in shortage, people will start buying it up. For the longest time, it was impossible to get beans.

Except here in Mexifornia, pintos were almost always around. I have noticed random items gone from shelves, I can't remember the last one but it seemed really odd they'd be out of it - or there was a run on it. Like, cookie sprinkles or something. Oh yeah, for some reason's Snyder's pretzels have been an issue.

At some point (hopefully) supply will catch up with demand. I had to have 1k rounds shipped to an FFL here, but even with shipping, CA sales tax and the FFL fee, it was still worth it. He also happened to have some in stock, so I bought it as well.

1k rounds seems like a lot for a day or two.

49 Here, for whatever reason, there's a shortage on Italian style Stewed Tomatoes. There's plenty of Mexican style and original. We use the Mex style in chili and the Italian in different pasta dishes.

It seems like there shortages on just about everything. Unless you happen to be on hand when they're stocking the shelf, you're SOL.

Also a lot of it might have to do with Walmart and Amazon online shopping. We just ordered 6 large jars of peanut butter, a couple of dozen cans of Tuna and a couple of large packs of ass wipe that we can't get in the store. It all was delivered right to our front door.

Now, it's sodas - Diet Caffeine-Free Dr Pepper, and Diet A&W root beer. I gather the canned soda shortages have to do with so many consumers not buying soda from restaurants, and the whole soda supply chain switching to home purchases, which means more cans are needed, which means the aluminum can manufacturers were caught short. Hope that shortage eases soon - pretty soon, the only soda we'll have in the house is Diet Caffeine-Free Pepsi, which is at least still available. (For now.)

83 Last trip to Hawaii a tall thin teen with jet black hair kept looking at me inside the store. Outside the store my brother was talking to him but he refused to even look at me close up. He told my brother he was living on bacon bits. Odd diet. But couldn't find any. Too bad he couldn't look at me because I could tell him bacon bits are the easiest things in the world to make 10 X better than the ones that you buy. Make them all the time. Constantly. It's really the only way I can eat that big fat thick-ass applewood bacon. And the flavor they put into everything is amazing.

159 "the "trust the plan" crowd still thrives insisting that Trump will round up the donks and be inaugurated on 1/20."

Paul J Watson interviews Alex Jones ... who was there trying to stop people from going into the White House, telling them it was a set up. He says it was Antifa/the left that were breaking things, but insists a lot of the more devoted Q people were also going in, some he claimed carrying zip ties, to arrest people like Pelosi. ... ---

I've heard other faithful Q people claim there was never any such instruction from Q ... the whole "Trust the Plan" thing is not about insurrection, it is more about Trump having white hats inside ... so like "Flynn will take control of military as Trump invokes Insurrection Act" ... not "storm the capitol". ...

Huh, here we have both Lawry's and McCormick seasonings by the boatload, all kinds of Italian and Mexican packets, as well as different gravies and such. Heck, they have 3-4 types of taco seasoning (I know, I was looking for just plain old taco seasoning) as well as turkey taco seasoning, fajita (beef or chicken), chili, on and on. And Kraft last I looked had several varieties of BBQ sauce. I'd bitch to the store managers - but again it might be they stopped in in a particular state or region.

172 OT, but I've just received terrible news. Our next door neighbors when I was a kid had 12 kids - 10 boys, 2 girls. With the exception of one black sheep, the kids all grew up to be good, decent adults. One of them, who is now in his late 50's got covid when he was down in Georgia visiting relatives. He is unfortunately, one of the few "younger" ones who got a particularly virulent case of it.

He's in a hospital in Georgia, on a vent and going into renal failure. His family has just OKed DNR orders.

Tony is a good soul. My younger brother knew him much better than I do and is devastated by the news. The family just lost their father (at the age of 95) 2 months ago.

176 I first had Grape-Nuts while visiting relatives. I loved it. My parents never bought it. I think because it was more expensive and came in smaller amounts (technically you're supposed to eat less of it per serving, but the purpose of cereal is to fill the bowl; bowls don't resize themselves to the cereal).

So it's always been a treat for me. That said, it doesn't seem to have the same level of maltiness nowadays as I remember it having.

Went to Publix the other day. Some employee was walking around with a box of masks and axed me if I needed one. I politely declined.

If they ever start pushing the issue again, I'll axe "What was the vaccine for?" There is not now nor was there ever a good reason for healthy people to wear a mask in pub-lick unless they had symptoms and had to be out and about.

Posted by: garrett at January 17, 2021 02:45 PM (DOhdX)

I know that, really. But it is farm-raised fish, so the quality varies, based on the standards adhered to by the fish farmers. I would not trust tilapia from China, or elsewhere in Asia, except perhaps Japan. But you can probably buy wild-caught fish for little more than farmed fish from a high-trust source.

I wonder why if that has the low protein content? I check the labels and tilapia would have about 8 grams per serving, and the sole would have about 24 grams.

Costco Kirkland canned chicken is also great...especially for body builders. 50 g of protein a can.

Yeah, late to the party, but I know of several people "stocking up" for that reason, and I have noticed the stores looking closer and closer to early pandemic days with shortages all over the place.

It's very annoying.

Biden can say whatever he wants, but the actual policies aren't going to change in any meaningful way. For states that want to lock down, they will, for states that don't, they just won't enforce whatever rule Biden puts out there.

342 Kroger brand low sodium bacon is our favorite and it keeps disappearing from the shelves. I think when supplies decline, companies concentrate on the most popular forms of the product.

We're not afraid of salt or anything; we just like the taste better. To us the low sodium variety allows more of the smokiness to come through.

I haven't tried any premium bacons. We might find something we like in that category.

The brick-and-mortar stores I frequented are gone or going out of business. This weekend I bought going-out-of-business clothes and measured for a DIY headboard for the guestroom.

Amazon is a poor substitute because prices are higher (ergo higher sales tax), offsetting any free shipping. But one of my nephews scored a real deal last week: he ordered a new bed for his new house. It arrived with broken legs. Amazon refunded his money - and told him NOT TO SHIP IT BACK. He bought legs at Home Depot, stained them to match, and now he has a new FREE bed.

Now, it's sodas - Diet Caffeine-Free Dr Pepper, and Diet A&W root beer. I gather the canned soda shortages have to do with so many consumers not buying soda from restaurants, and the whole soda supply chain switching to home purchases, which means more cans are needed, which means the aluminum can manufacturers were caught short. Hope that shortage eases soon - pretty soon, the only soda we'll have in the house is Diet Caffeine-Free Pepsi, which is at least still available. (For now.)

No caffeine free Diet Pepsi/Dr Pepper around these parts. Every so often a 2 liter bottle shows up, but that's about it.

I briefly lived in a northeastern state that gets snow, but not a crazy amount. Way less snow then I was used to.

Any time they predicted snow (which was, you know, not an uncommon occurrence), the grocery stores would run out of milk and bread. I have no fucking idea why people hear it's going to snow and think they need to buy prison rations, but I always found it funny.

I would be more concerned in the very short term that banks will freeze/close people's accounts for badthink and the whole banking system will become unstable because of that.


But, yes, as people pull their fiat money out of the bank, they should be thinking about investing in what might become commodity money that is not as God awful expensive as gold is.

390 We buy eggs from our neighbors. For awhile, we were buying from a lady who only charged $0.50 a dozen and said she was going to have to get rid of her chickens because it was expensive to feed them. I told her I would be happy to pay double for her eggs, but she declined.

Offer again. Teach her economics. What a sweet lady. Tell her how much you'd have to pay in a store.

In Canada, For $5.99, 30 large eggs. A nice deal. Korea, 10 years ago, had 30 eggs at the store. About $2.80 for a dozen eggs when they are on sale.

That one never made sense to me.

Fewer coins are in circulation because people are not leaving their houses is kind of believable I guess, but also not really because the kind of people who pay mostly in cash are usually poorer and would have gone to coin star or whatever early in the pandemic to get rid of the change around their house to get a few extra bucks.

398 I haven't noticed any shortages in our local Stop and Shop stores or in the three local ShopRites near me. So these stories of shortages must be regional. I usually do a week's worth of shopping every Thursday and there are no bare shelves.

I tried 3 different grocery stores and every time, they would be out of the size or brand of items chosen. They would offer substitutes that in no way resembled what I wanted. Packages of meat or chicken were sizes I could not use.I decided that I liked going to the grocery store, choosing my own veges and meats based on what looks good when I am in the store. I love Trader Joe's. Their frozen stuff is better than any grocery store brand.I have noticed the same odd shortages that seem to change from week to week. No jasmine rice, none of those 90 second Uncle Ben's microwave packages, canned tomatoes. One week all the Goya beans were gone. No maple breakfast sausage.Toilet paper in plentiful supply but you have to buy triple rolls and the quality is just not the same regardless of brand. Feels like the stuff in a commercial restroom.

Today I found 30 cans of the favorite at the pet big box and bought them all. Rumor is that Purina is discontinuing the brand. I hope not.

537 Grape-Nuts are a good ice cream topping. My mother consumed Grape-Nuts for decades, so there was always some on hand. A few years ago she stopped eating Grape-Nuts entirely and had to have Corn Flakes. Since her memory is extremely flaky, she cannot remember her last meal, even if it was less than half an hour ago. So she typically eats at least three bowls of Corn flakes daily.

I use diamond "stones", coarse and fine. and a ceramic rod in place of a steel rod.

Son got me one of those micro belt sander type sharpeners 5 yrs or so ago. OK, except:
1. Takes more care than a stone not to mess things up. It likes to round over the point.
2. Takes longer than a coarse stone if you need to grind to redo the edge. Drag it out, set up, etc. Overkill for just honing.

Had the same problem the week after New Year's. Had to go to three different stores to find any green chilis of any kind, any brand. First two stores were cleared out, completely.

Finally found some (original Hatch brand, fuck yeah!), so I grabbed three cans (4 ouncers). Will probably last me a couple of months.

Bizarre.

545 Clorox Tilex Daily Shower cleaner. It disappeared in March and apart from scoring two refill bottles on Walmart.com, I haven't seen it since. I emailed Clorox, and they are very sorry, but have switched that line over to making more Clorox wipes. Bastards.

546 Cat food. My cats disapprove of the lack of Sheba in the little individual plastic cartons, or even Meow Mix in the little plastic tubs. They are reduced to eating cat food out of the can, like their ancestors before them. Might as well be Kaboom For Cats!

547 You still can't find Rye Crisp.
I discovered Wasa crackers are much better.

You can't find decent diet sodas but Ocean Spray makes a 5 calorie/8 oz serving drink that's FAR better.

It's hard to find yeast or bread mixes.
But the web site, the Bread Feed has recipes for every type of bread I want to make in or out of my breadmaker.

Some vitamins are in short supply, but others will do.
