shelves

I was truly hoping that the situation that began during the pandemic where there are shortages of certain items was over but I am quickly discovering that is not the case. I have been seeing on my personal social media pages, mother's reaching out to other mother's for help. As a proud mother of 3, this immediately piqued my interest, I had to figure out what was going on?

Wow, it is crazy that since the pandemic, we have gotten used to the fact that there are shortages on various grocery items. We went through the toilet paper shortage, Lysol, disinfectant wipe, canned good and more recently for me, a regular OG Fritos shortage. (I've seen them slowly make their way back on the shelves by the way).

I have quite a bit of experience in the school lunch department. I've been making them for many years, for all 3 of my children. Over the years, I have to say taking lunch from home has evolved. My oldest was good with pb&j, or a turkey and cheese sandwich. My middle and youngest got fancy with the Lunchables, to which this single mom cringed at but still budgeted for. So now, let us address t

So a year ago, we were dealing with shortages. When the pandemic first began, I remember I was beyond worried that there would not be any toilet paper left for me to buy. Then the shelves were empty, different foods were hard to find, then anything antibacterial started to disappear, Lysol couldn't be found. Omg those times were tough and I hope we never have to go through that again!

What is with me and crazy things I encounter while shopping lately? A late night trip to the grocery store was not so productive for me earlier this week. I typically do my grocery shopping during the day, so this tripped me out. I have so many questions?

If you are lucky enough to have escaped any type of illness up to this point, let me say lucky you! I stopped by the store real quick the other day to load up Lysol and Lysol wipes while my son was sick and this is what I discovered.
