What I Buy Wednesday...

...the short answer is nothing! You know what happens when we get any sort of prediction for snow or ice. This:

I cannot believe there were no carts! There has to be at least 100 or more--usually! It started in the parking lot. Not a single place to park. I waited while someone loaded her groceries. She took her sweet slow time to put her cart in the corral. Little did I know I would need that cart! Then she fixed her hair and checked her phone--all the time knowing that I was waiting for her spot. Rude. Just plain rude! 

Then I get in the store to NO carts. Not one. The one you see here is mine--offered to me by a man who happened to be rolling it in when I went our to track one down. 

Once I got in the store, I was ill-prepared for all of the empty shelves. Here are just a few.

There was definitely a run on onions. What seems to be left are the things that no one knows what they are and how to prepare them. At least I didn't know what they were.

Then I came across this:

I have no idea what was in this bin, but I needed it. There were more than one of these on other aisles too.

I don't know what was in this bin.

On the other side, there wasn't a single banana left. Even the spotty, bruised ones were gone. 

I didn't take pictures of the many other things that were gone. Few eggs were left. Same goes for lunch meat. The store was stocking as fast as they could, but I heard more than one time that everything was out--in particular categories. 

There were several things on my list that I was unable to get. But, I guess that was a good thing because my $50 food budget for this week is just about gone--only $8 left. And I have to get groceries for a big family dinner (of us) on Sunday night. I might be spending next week's budget this week. That should be okay since Butch leaves for Panama next week which means I won't be cooking!

The food budget is tight for sure, but I'm hanging in there!
