There were no turkey breasts, so I bought a whole turkey. Then a local grocery suddenly had a freezer full. Cat food has been an ongoing problem, as has my son’s favorite brand of iced tea. One week there was no romaine lettuce anywhere. Walmart is the only store in town that has unsweetened coconut.

Overall, most things are stocked in most places, but one tends to notice when that one thing is out of stock.
