I Found Groceries!

Last week when I git groceries life was still pretty normal. No one had gone into panic mode. In SLC it seems the panic started Thursday. I was at Winco getting bird and cat food last Wednesday and everything was fine and normal, although it was weird that many dried beans were gone from the bulk bins. Then, I stopped in Friday morning very early and it was shockingly busy for the time, and the shelves were cleared out of so many things.
I went to Sprouts on Saturday, and I kind of thought they wouldn't be as bad. I felt like Sprouts shoppers would be more rational and not panic shop so much. Boy was I WRONG!! It was scary and depressing, an honestly at one point I had a panic attack in the store. I had to really talk myself down.

Oranges,lemons,tofu,peach fizzy water, blackberry kombucha,peanut butter, gluten free bagels, romaine hearts, dragon puffs,mangoes,hummus,gluten free crackers, vegan cream cheese, miyokos scallion cheese, celery, ice cream sandwiches,tofu,coconut milk, clearance vegan shres($1.99) pears, coconut oil crinkle fries and a clearance candle

This is stuff mostly from Sprouts and a few items are from Smith's. I had no list and no rhyme or reason, I just tried to find food I can eat.
On Sunday I decided to go to the Asian market for some gochujang and rice cakes. Also just to see what their shelves are like. I have to say, I'm glad I went because it eased some of my anxiety. Their shelves are well stocked, and they have all the tofu and rice I could ever want or need!

Rice cakes, coconut cream, dried chili flakes, enoki mushrooms, rice, tofu, sriracha, ginger, fried tofu(my fave!!!) gochujang, coconut milk, rice noodles, massaman curry paste, spicy chili sauce

 If you have an Asian market in your area I highly recommend checking them out. Just like we need food, they need business. And it's really helpful if you have anxiety about not being able to find food to feed yourself and your family.
To me, seeing how people are acting and hoarding is much scarier than the virus. I'm not making light of the virus, it's just that this has brought out the worst in so many people.

You guys know I feed the feral neighborhood cats. That's how I met Bubba! Well, this is Al Jr. He's named after another feral cat in Erie I fed who was named Al. They could be twins! He won't let me touch him, but I've gained a little trust over the years! He's a very handsome boy!!!
