Where have all the Hot Pockets gone?

No grocery stores around me have any. They dwindled down to empty shelves weeks ago. I've read that Hot Pocket sales have boomed during the lockdowns, but HOW if the can't keep product even at a Wal-Mart??

Don’t eat them but they aren’t the only thing missing from local shelves. Production is off a bit, probably because folks are eating at home so much more.

If you can hit up a store first thing in the morning before the stock sells out. Call the store first and ask them when they expect more in.

... never the large of the ones I shopped for. Now there's just a big empty space where ALL of it used to be, even the off/store brands.

Oh yeah: and frozen fruits. I'm in kind of a rural town and I've never been struck by the nation that this is a fruit-living community. Yet that's been wiped out for weeks, too.

They have several Hot Pocket varieties available. I don’t eat them but the grands love them!

to learn - very suddenly - that they can’t cook for shit. Also with kids home all day easy-to-nuke foods that picky eaters will readily consume saw surging sales.

I haven't been able to buy in any months. All the stores usually have are off-brand ones that aren't good.

Sorry everyone else in Northeast Florida.

It's very strange what is and is not available these days.

Dearest Martha...

We are low on Hot Pockets and Slim Jims, and not a Taco Bell in sight...
