This week's sale ads were disappointing again! This week the only half way good meat sale was boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, so we are eating a lot of chicken this week. I buy the boneless breasts to put in the crockpot for salsa chicken, and I also plan to use leg quarters cut up for Monday nights dinner. Those bags of 69 cents a pound chicken leg quarters are really coming in handy. I ran into the gas station last night to grab a forgotten loaf of bread and was surprised at how empty the shelves were! There were only 3 loaves of bread and lots of bare space. I asked the lady who checked me out and she just shrugged and said she didn't know, she just puts away what comes on the truck. I ran into our dollar store and found a similar but less dramatic scene. So weird, but at least there was plenty of toilet paper!
I haven't run across anything missing that I have wanted or needed, but it feels so strange to see empty shelves again. It's like I can't remember what was supposed to be in that space! Are you seeing any shortages or empty shelves where you are?
Because I am working with what is on sale, this week's menu has a lot of chicken, but at least we like chicken! Have a great week!
