SPAM under lock and key in NYC stores...

Didn't see that coming!!

Canned tuna is also being locked up due to an increase in shoplifting.

I'm guessing that canned dog food wont be far behind.

I heard someone once postulate that civilization was only about 3 meals thick. In my 50+ years I've yet to see them proved wrong.

They are locking up the wrong end of the food chain..

For Spam to be locked up that tells me we have pretty much reached an all time low!

Here in San Antonio, there has been a canned dog food shortage for over a year, other than for the high-priced stuff. And the price, if you can find any, has increased by well over half. I wouldn't be surprised if there was considerable dog food shoplifting going on.

I will admit , Spam prepared over an open fire, along w eggs and Franks hot sauce, is pretty darn tasty

Nuthin' wrong with SPAM, if you got nuthin' else…….

Fried Spam and American cheese sandwiches are my favorites, but the price of Spam now has dampened my enthusiasm for them. I used to love canned corned beef, but that is now priced out of sight. Not that long ago, it was a dollar a can, now it's closer to five. No thanks.

We have a number of cities that are on the verge of imploding.

Is Chicago still there?

I did complain at Walmart when I saw Shaving Cream locked up.
The lady told that it has become a Hot grab item.
Really!
Last time I was there, Spam still stacked out in the open.

They're not locked up yet, but there is a definite dearth of Oreo cookies here in the sand flats . . .

Locking items up is the future and only way to remain in business. If it isn't tied down or behind a barrier, it will get stolen. We've had two stop and rob stores shut down this year because of the constant thefts, and those items are where small stores get their profit.

Spam is tasty, nutritious and a can, if unopened, will last for years. It is a good food to stock up on for the coming famine.

Is NYC fearing a Viking invasion?

I mentioned this topic to my wife who said Yuck. She said she ate a lot of Spam growing up and doesn't like it. Still may stock some anyway.

 

[Onomea]

Not a fan, but I can see the wisdom of keeping some out in the garage just in case. If really hungry, anything edible is welcome.

Read somewhere that with natural disasters and all, it is wise to try to keep two weeks of food on hand. Have not done that, but think I should.

Like insurance. Better to have it and not need it than the alternative.

Have they changed it in the last few years? I bought some recently but it seems slimier and more "processed" than it used to be. (Maybe I'm thinking of corned beef?)

Around here, the price of SPAM has more than doubled. But inflation is only transitory. If you buy that, I've got a mighty fine bridge available at a bargain price.

Walmart last night had Spam for ~$3.50.
