empty shelves better or worse supply chain shortages hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper
empty shelves in the grocery store are they getting better or worse I was not expecting to
find good results when I placed my online order and half of the items were out of stock at my
local Fred Meyers grocery store which is part of Kroger so on my way to pick it up I decided to
stop at the Walmart which is just down the street and this Walmart is a neighborhood market it's not
walmart super center they only have groceries I wasn't expecting for the Walmart to have very
good stock on the shelves but look at this you can see lots of produce in stock reasonable prices and
grocery shelves seems to be fairly filled in they had nice selection of berries and pre-cut fruit
but look at this one blueberry box it looks like there's a big hunk of mold right in the middle
$4.77 i would expect the blueberries to still be fresh to eat so always look them over before you
buy them you can see there are gaps in some of the grocery shelves for example here with the juice
but there is still ample supplies of juice all different flavors there are gaps in the takeaway
food maybe you can't get a pre-made sandwich or the exact salad you want but Walmart certainly
have a lot of variety still on the shelf most of the products look to be fully stocked Walmart
weren't just fronted on the shelf when you did see a gap i almost wasn't sure what item was missing
there were plenty of other things to choose from i thought the store shelves were much
fuller than they have been the last few months when i've been going to the store something that
surprised me big bins that i think of having meat and frozen foods had frozen dinners and yogurt
i wasn't expecting those i thought those bins should have been full of meat but i could be
mistaken of how this store is laid out you can see the shelves holding the meat are thin there
aren't all of the varieties of meat but they still have some meats in stock there's lots of yogurt
the meat is certainly thin you can see there are gaps in the ham and pork there are gaps in
the beef they have frozen chicken parts but there are spaces in between there as well
some of the choices of beef are not available and others there may only be one to choose from
and you can see from the prices that they're definitely going up $10.47 a pound for a t-bone
steak $20.82 cents for petite filet mignon $11.47 cents for a ribeye steak
$10.68 cents for three pounds of hamburger and then there are just empty slots in the meat
just like the bins of chicken were light on stock so are the shelves there still is chicken
until you get to rotisserie chicken and it looks like you're just not getting a rotisserie chicken
if that's on your shopping list cream cheese is available I don't remember bagels being stockpiled
with the cream cheese maybe that's just me I remember always looking for bagels with the bread
but you can see some of the shelves here are stocked with bagels so let me know if that's
normal in your store and maybe I just haven't noticed you can see they have lots of eggs it's
probably 70 percent full eggs and when you head down the chip aisle yes there are some empty slots
but you can see most of the chips are full all the way to the back
there are gaps on the snacks for kids for the multi-packs and there are gaps in the crackers but
there are certainly a lot of varieties crackers and you can see they're full to the back of the
shelf yes there are gaps but nothing like there has been from my experience in the last few months
there's a wide variety of cookies and if you're looking for baking supplies they have flour for
a dollar 56 $1.56 they have sugar for two dollars and eight cents $2.08 and there's a wide variety
of oil there is an empty shelf but there's all kinds of other oils for you to choose from
they have lots of the Chef Boyardee and spaghettios macaroni and cheese
even Annie's natural macaroni and cheese and Velveeta this walmart had a nice variety of rice
lots of different beans and you can see the prices vary but there are different varieties beans that
you can stock up if you still need to add rice and beans to your prepper pantry stockpile
i was surprised to see the Nido Fortificada which is my favorite powdered milk
it's been harder to find it's $15.64 and right now i think it's actually even less expensive
on amazon there's still gaps in the pastas which has been going on for quite some time but you can
see they still have lots of different varieties pastas at different price points so you can still
stock up on pastas and egg noodles egg noodles don't last as long food storage because they have
eggs in them the paper products were full and look at this canning lids
and rings i didn't see canning jars but there's a whole rack of canning lids with rings for $3.97
another pleasant surprise was seeing the Augason Farms emergency dehydrated food
in the shelf in this walmart it isn't available in every walmart but it was nice
to see Augason Farms food in this one and they had everything from Augason Farms multiple meal packs
from emergency two-week food supply to Augason Farms breakfast bucket the lunch and dinner bucket
even big buckets of Augason Farms rolled oats and then lots of Augason Farms number 10 cans that
are foods packed to last for up to 25 and 30 years you can see they had Augason Farms honey
powder pancake mix chili mix chopped onions they even have the morning moo and the country fresh
milk which are pretty good they have Augason Farms diced bell peppers sliced strawberries
whole blueberries raspberries pineapple most of the Augason Farms fruits are freeze dried rather
than dehydrated so pay attention to that they're going to last a little better that way they have
potato slices potato shreds whole eggs and the Augason Farms cheese blend powder if you want to
make macaroni and cheese in an apocalypse buy some macaroni put it away with a can of Augason Farms
cheese blend powder and you'll be able to make it long after the boxes of kraft macaroni and cheese
are gone they also had some banana chips and apple slices which are both very good
if you look on the very top there's some of the ready-wise foods that used to be wise foods and
i did some reviews on some of their food a few years ago and it is nowhere near as tasty
and good nutritious and filling as the Augason Farms so i steer completely clear of those if you
see one you think you might like take one home and try it but i would certainly try the Augason Farms
before i would try the ready-wise just from the experiences that i have had all of the Augason
Farms products i have every one of these that's on the shelf every one of these Augason Farms
products and they are all top quality and i don't have any more of the ready-wise food my family
would not eat it and so all of it is gone out of my stockpile the shelves were full at this walmart
marketplace grocery store it had far better supplies on the shelves than
the fred meyer did down the street which was an interesting surprise so fortunately
foods are available again in this store hopefully you're finding that's going on where you are
so it's still a good chance to stock up on food things that you want you can find
the food prepping supplies things that you want so that you'll have extras for the next time that
those foods are not available in our grocery store and it seems to me it may be only a matter of time
until we have problems filling up the shelves again if you liked my video i hope you'll share
