No kidding and it's not like the stuff stays around here for more than a day or two. :laugh2:
Next time you get a impending storm announced and you know people will be going crazy buying milk and bread. Do yourself a favor and go to the story.
Then go to where the lunch meat or sandwich spread section is. You will see a normal amount of stock in those areas. Next go to the cereal section...again you will see the normal amount of stock.
It baffles me. Are they going to just use the bread as toast? Are they just going to use it as a side thing with a dinner. One would think they would get it in case the power was off and they could make some sandwiches to hold over some.
Same with milk. What are you making with milk that you have to have it as an emergency item. Sure some things you cook use milk, some may want it just for their coffee...but again if the power is going to be out I would think milk and cereal would do for a breakfast.
And if you do not have power, but have gas to cook with...why so worried about the milk and bread at this specific time.
It is not like they go bad after a few days and normally after a storm hits, you can get back to the stores by a few days to a week.
Always baffled me.
I know if we are going to get a big storm and I am worried about not having power or being able to cook something...I would buy some bread and/or milk but I darn sure would be buying some other things that would go with it since I would not be able to be cooking or baking some food.
Edit...
I remember sometime last year the wife wanted to go to the store because we were to get a big storm.
We had a bunch of items that we could eat without having to worry about cooking them, just in case the power went out.
I saw one woman who was hoarding a bunch of bread in her cart...must have been somewhere between 5-10 loaves of bread. I looked at her and said...Lunch meat is over there. She looked at me like she had no clue.
What in the world...was she just going to eat bread the whole time? lol
