@Mombo1That's so funny!! I found a big pkg of Bounty paper towels at Walmart and I almost cried!! 🤣 I was afraid to turn them loose and put them in the buggy for fear someone would snatch them out and take them from me!! I cant imagine how I'll feel when I finally see my Charmin again.

@spursfan2   I know what you're saying.  I don't use a cart because I only pick up a few things when I go in.   But I did see a couple people look at me in a weird way...must have been the death grip I had on the paper towels and the mask.  Guess I looked desperate. 😂

Carribbean grocery stores also carry rice. Rice is an important staple in Puerto Rican, Cuban and Domincan cooking so they probably have plenty.

That is how I felt when I finally found the Smart Balance spread!  We were out of it and I could not order it online.

I’m still looking for I Can’t Believe It’s not Butter in any form.  My grocery store is actually pretty well stocked at this point, including toilet paper and hand sanitizer, but not my favorite spread. I also use their spray version on my popcorn, and that’s getting low, too.

Was in Walmart about 2 weeks ago.  The entire butter/margarine case was empty.  I do have some butter in my deep freeze from Christmas, but I do not like to use it daily.  

Went to Kroger and found the large tub of Smart Balance and was soo happy. Also found  a jar of instant yeast to use in my bread machine.  I had run out of that also and was surprised to find any.  

Good luck and keep searching. I bet you will be able to find it soon.

This doesn't help you, but my store had your spread. If only we could combine all of our stores.🤷‍♀️

While I was waiting for my pick up order at our local grocery store 2 weeks ago a young man came out carrying a mega pkg of charmin under his arm and walked down the sidewalk. I hope he made it home safely, lol!

Ah yeast.  That’s another thing I can’t find, including online.  Who knew everyone would become bakers?

And Flour!!! After this is all over peeps are going to look at that 5 or 10lb bag of flour they had to have and wonder what in the world do I do with this?? Crazy.

  We have butter in stores, but NO margarine of any kind.

   I try to order deliveries because DH gets very upset when I want to go to the stores.  I have groceries delivered from Stop & Shop through Peapod & from Costco & Keyfood through Instacart.What one doesn't have the others usually do.Although some items are more difficult to get across the board. Like paper goods .I got lucky & was able to order toilet paper through Boxed.com.

   I try to book a delivery at least once a week.It's difficult because delivery times book up pretty fast.Sometimes I get up in the middle of the night to reserve a delivery time.

   Gee, I remember the days when I could walk into a supermarket & get anything I want .I will never take that stuff for granted again.
