What always seems picked over is dairy. I read online that cottage cheese is in short supply because of some TikTok thing, but I’m also seeing shortages of sour cream, whole milk, and plain yogurt. The only place locally that’s consistently stocked with dairy is Walmart, so I’m going in at 6:00 when it opens just to get that stuff. It’s the only time of day Walmart is tolerable.
