Grocery stores restocking

Safeway and Albertson’s grocery stores have been slow getting supplies, but officials are telling shoppers not to fret.
Spokane-area Albertson’s got a fresh shipment from their Portland distributors on Tuesday after Monday’s shipment was cancelled, said spokeswoman Donna Eggers. “So the shipments are getting through, just not as quickly or as completely as usual.”
Also, “our stores are able to transfer product among stores,” Eggers said.
Mike Fuhrman, Safeway’s distribution manager for the Spokane area, said the stores played catch up on Tuesday, but are fine at this point.

main thing I’ve noticed about grocery shopping is the zaniness of so…many…people being in one spot. Doesn’t seem to matter what time of day. Bread selection was down at FM on Sullivan alst night. There weren’t a lot of chips. One thing to remember - and easy to forget - is make a list. For the most part, all the basics have been available. I’m a little surprised fruits and vegetables are in ample supply. Thankfully, I haven’t noticed a spike in prices.

Yes one day I wasn’t able to find the bread I wanted and yes, one day I had to go to 2 stores to find powdered sugar. But one should try living in another country for a time. You would quickly realize that even in these difficult times, we have so much to be thankful for. Even in the shortages, we have an abundance compared to most of the world. Let’s try to share more.
