I've never seen those shelves quite so empty.

In the meantime, still no sign of powdered milk - but I'd already scored some anyway, as I mentioned in the other thread.

Oh, and somewhat to my shock, egg prices have doubled. Luckily, I'd already bought two more cartons on sale before that happened.

Where are earth are you shopping?eh The best prices can still be found at Walmart. With the exception of towels and TP, they still have most of the essentials. And no price-gouging. eg. A dozen large White eggs of Great Value (their own brand) is $1.14. Whole milk is $3.51.

I did see Walmart jump their prices on milk by about 60¢ per gallon. I've
not noticed any other jump in prices but I haven't been in WallyWorld in
about 2 weeks. Thankfully, Kroger has not price gouged yet.

Yep! I could not even find any Prairie Farms ice cream and bought instead some Pepperidge Farms ice cream which was very good!

Our basic economies are severely screwed up! :-(

I'm surprised WalMart's prices are that HIGH! I have never even paid $3 for milk.

With any luck, egg prices will go down again.

I forgot to mention that it's a Gallon. You won't find a better price. There are some places that charge $5-$6.

You may eat your words now. I was TALKING about a gallon. From Market Basket. Skim goes for 2.59.

Milk is about $2 per gallon at my grocery store. IIRC, up to $2.19 from $1.99.

They are bound to because so many people panicked and grabbed supplies
of them. Their fridges probably have as many as they can store, so they
won't need any more for a while. Stores around here are dong a good job
of re-stocking. I was in a grocery store this morning and there were
lots of eggs. Yeast... OTOH.... gone.

Apparently, a lot of people are bored and baking. I was tempted this
weekend to make chocolate chip cookies, but I managed to restrain myself.

There is also the lack of access to baked goods. We rarely buy
commercially manufactured baked goods. I was thinking of doing some
baking today, probably ginger cookies,

We rarely make any kind of baked goods. A cheesecake for my husband's
birthday or a batch of chocolate chip cookies at Christmas (which are
only a week apart anyway).

If we want a treat, we buy one or two at our excellent bakery (which is
staying open through the crisis). That way we don't have an entire batch
to eat up by ourselves.

People home with children are baking to keep them occupied.

Skim milk is always less. I was specifically referring to Whole Milk. Quote me a price on Whole Milk.

This whole staying home thing is cracking me up.
The local news is full of:
- How not to be bored while stuck at home
- Domestic violence is up
- children are now missing lunch
- how to keep your children busy

1) I thought the preoccupation with cell phones should
keep people happy enough.
2) Now, Sunday drive in church services...way too funny
3) The poor children would miss the free school lunches
but now it's EVERY child will starve without free lunches.
4) Any parent with children knows about the long summer
vacations so this (so far) is a joke. Kids know
how to enjoy vacations on their and always have.
I doubt many want annoying parents trying to entertain
them with stupid little games, etc.

Whole milk and skim are the same price at my grocery store. I just checked.
$1.99 per gallon no matter what the fat content is.

Do you shop at a gas station convenience store?

I've got a couple of bags of flour for bread-machine bread and some
yeast from the past. But bread is still available at reasonable prices.
We will see.

Yeah, if I was a kid I'd be pretty embarassed by my parents' stoopid doings, lol...

Also in the NY Times and NY Magazine tons of articles along the lines of "Makeup Tips For Zoom Meetings...The Angst of Isolation...Designer Pajamas for Your New Work at Home Lifestyle...Luxury Sheets to Cocoon In...Dating in the Time of Pandemic...etc....". "Rich White People Navel - Gazing", I call it...

LOTS of articles targeted to the coddled affluent who have never had to cook, e.g. how to freeze stuff, how to make a meal with what is in your pantry, rice is a versatile ingredient, etc....

I can't recall where I read it, but there was something about a 40-year-old
man living in Queens who hasn't made his own breakfast in 17 years. He's
been picking up oatmeal at the deli. I don't even see how he can call himself
an adult.

There are quite a few (affluent) who have never cooked, they always had carry - out, delivery, private cooks, etc...

Some are quite proud of that fact, they consider cooking "dirty work"...

Read a bio of Jacqueline Susann, author of "Valley of the Dolls". She said the two fave things in her life were "mink coats and room service"; she and her hubby lived in a schmancy NYC apartment hotel, all food and drink delivered. A friend said "The only things ever in their fridge were bottles of Dom and tranquilizer glycerin suppositories..."

A poster on rec.travel.air, a linguistics prof at UPenn, boasted that she had *never* cooked in her life (this was 15 years ago, she was in her 50's), she and her hubby had every single meal out...in fact the stove they had installed 20 years previously had never been turned on, the plastic shipping stuff and manual were still in the oven...

Old - fashioned to us, but there are still peeps like that...

There are a lot of "ordinary" people like that, not just the privileged.
They despise cooking and live on take-out.

True...I've had co-workers who would *always* buy lunch out/have delivery, this despite some of them having very modest salaries, they would complain about "not having any money". As someone who always prepares my own lunches, I'd say, "You can save a LOT of money by bringing from home", to many it was an alien idea...oh well, it is *their* 50/60 bux per week ;-)

I rarely order out, for me it is a treat. This evening I am ordering a nice pizza from the local corner place, important to support them now. With a generous tip it will be close to forty bux, for that price I can make a few pizzas at home...

But hey, I'm stuck at home telecommuting all day, all those Zoom meetings and such, I *deserve* a treat, right...???

Kids here are not missing lunch. They can pick up a package with 5
breakfasts and 5 lunches at various places.

I'm sure it is a help for some parents but I have to wonder how many are
taking advantage of free food. I've see people pull up with their
$50,000 SUV to get the freebies.

If you need it, fine, but if not, leave some for the truly needy.

Fresh milk on this rock can go for 9 bucks a gallon. What I buy is imported milk i.e., frozen milk shipped in from the mainland which can go for almost half that price. Actually, I don't know where the heck the milk is coming from. Hopefully, it's not coming from mainland China. OTOH, don't ask, don't tell, works for me. 🤔�

There are always a few who will take advantage and it's on them that the
RW focuses, ignoring the overall good that the program is doing.

Which one?

You asked for a price quote for whole milk and I gave you one. Then you
come back with 'see my response to Cindy.'

For $9 a gallon, maybe it comes from Japan...kobe milk.

The expensive milk comes from local farms. The same situation happens with eggs. Island eggs are more expensive than mainland eggs. I always buy mainland eggs. My daughter buys the local eggs.
