I was running some errands today and wanted to get some black beans. I use them a lot for cooking and ran through 25 pounds in the last year or so. My bucket is empty. Still have quite a lot of other dry peas, beans and grains to eat so well stocked but had a hankering for some Feijoada for dinner.
WinCo was picked bare. The Food Coop was picked bare. A local restaurant wholesale supply place was picked bare. The local QFC was picked bare. My supermarket (three miles from the house - also my coffee and post office place) had about eight one-pound bags remaining. I bought two - one for dinner and one for backup.
Was in a bit of a hurry so didn't take any photos but it was surreal - shelves empty.
