I didn't take pictures at Kroger today. But there was no meat. Most aisles had some stuff, but a lot of shelves were empty. Lots of specific items were completely sold out. Milk & Bread, short supply. There were no bags for veggies. Bread yeast was fine.

I was able to get my brands of pasta sauce (even on sale!)
No liquid Windex or refills
Most of the flour was gone, but the more expensive (Gold Medal) was available
Some Sugar
The Rice and Beans areas were short, but there was some product on the shelves.
Coke, etc, sold out.
Beer, no problem.
My type and brand of breakfast sausage, no issue.
Plenty of frozen veggies
Ice cream, no issue.

At 9PM, we were in and out in 20 minutes.

Gas is down to $1.93. With a 50 cent discount, $1.43/gallon. Filled the truck with over 26 gallons for about $38! $1.44 was the price of gas 16 years ago when we moved back to Texas.

We're going to go to Samsclub tomorrow, mostly to get cloth bar towels we use around the kitchen. Probably look for meat there.
