As it stands today it’s hit and miss for groceries due to the supply chain . As far as I know most everything is coming from the east . Hwy 3 is a long haul around from the lower mainland .

Yes, the manager from Askew's, here in Salmon Arm, has mentioned that most of his groceries comes from Alberta. Dairy and fresh produce come from Vancouver/Abbostford but they are sourcing out other suppliers.

The highway coming east isnt the best right now either, so its kinda like the perfect storm for Revy!

This will be a wake up call for the lower mainland. The progressives that hate oil and gas are about to see what happens when supplies run low, and by extension how much the Economy relies on transportation to function. It will be weeks before the pipeline companies complete their surveys of their ROWs and start flowing again.

While I would like to believe this will happen, I seriously doubt this will make a difference to their thinking.

Province prioritizes fuel for essential vehicles, introduces travel restrictions | BC Gov News

To help keep people safe and re-establish the movement of critical goods and services following severe flooding and landslides, the Province is taking temporary measures to ensure fuel (gas and diesel) is prioritized for essential vehicles, while keeping it available to British Columbians.

Limiting to 30L each fuel up. Until Dec 1

What a joke. Glad I have bulk cards…no chance that will change.

I'm glad I got out of there when I did. Highway 12 from Lillooet to Lytton is definitely not designed for the traffic it's gonna see in the next while. Probably gonna be a few ugly wrecks on that road.

Sure is beautiful country though.

That is what happens when you build highways on the sumas lake bed.

Are food supplies low? Kids are thinking of stocking up here for the drive back to Vernon tomorrow.

Lots of troops and military equipment on highway 16 heading west today.

Wouldn’t hurt , as it’s hit and miss in the stores with produce , bread, dairy and meat being the top things absent at times

Not really. It seems to be in spurts. Dairy/eggs/butter are not consistent. People have hoarded and some of the basic good are gone. Prices have climbed. My favourite ice cream was $7.98 and it is now $9:79. Saw some pictures of meat prices in Revy and they are high. Veggies were gone on Thursday but lots of them on Friday. Fruit is fine.
Stores have stepped up and there are limits on various food types.

Perfect Thanks

That picture doesn’t seem crazy. $45? Thats a pack of steaks not just one. And Ribeye is expensive

 

[tejay]

59.50 / kg is the kicker , yes it’s rib-eye
