So what kind of meat did it come with?
None, sadly. I had to buy it seperate
So what kind of meat did it come with?
Nope. Just called them, they don't have any chest freezers at all. In fact, no Lowe's within 50 miles of Indy has had any for a while now.
My mistake. They had said they were getting multiple, and that was the first time I had seen one with the option to add it to the cart, so I thought maybe they still had the rest.
I checked the freezer this morning and saw that we were a little under-prepared for any supply chain interruption in the meat dept. So, I headed over to Archer's Meats this morning in downtown Greenwood and placed an order. They have a good reputation and generally all of their animals are locally sourced, so I don't expect they'll see the disruption that the industry is beginning to experience.
As I was pulling out, a load of cattle was coming in.
Just a heads up for those in Greenwood and surrounds.
Carmel Kroger yesterday, small restock run... No sanitizer still, but they had a few dozen Cottenelle double roll TP packs and a few choices of paper towel. Plenty of meats, pasta, milk, eggs, and full stock of breads. Give it another two weeks and they'll be stocked on everything, unless meat supply goes down.
I believe this is the lull before the storm. This has NOTHING to do with the virus and everything to do with supply chain disruption. Get what you need now. Smokingman has laid it all out, and on this he is likely correct. We are getting a chance to redo our preps, don't waste it. My lovely bride asked what wil you do with these preps if several weeks from now it is a moot point? I said the happiest day of my life will be loading up the truck and making a donation to food banks...
Dont blow it, prep now friends!
There is almost nothing coming from China now. What do you need for the rest of the year? Toothpaste, razors, soap, etc. We are on the precipice of uncharted in our lives. We have a rule, don't buy what you will not eat or use, just buy in anticipation and if it doesn't materialize then you already have it. No loss, just a premature purchase. If you have no budget for it, prioritize what you must have to be comfortable and keep going.
This is is not a drill, it is real...
Hit my local Stracks grocery store today(Hobart)to get some more milk and OJ. Also to look for pork butts or shoulders to throw in the freezer for future smoking.
None to be found(Pork butts or shoulders) Baby back ribs were priced way to high for me at 9.99lb. Did get some St Louis style ribs at 2.99lb. For giggles I went down the TP aisle. Man oh man. A 4 pack of Cottonelle was 8.99.
Definitely seeing prices going thru the roof right now and imagine will be like this for some time to come.
Also hit Harbor Freight to pick up a greenhouse. The store in scherrerville was only allowing 25 people in at a time. So a small line there. Portage store wasn't doing that when I stopped there first to check on the greenhouse.
