Spam: When You Just Gotta Have It

No sale, and quantities are limited to 2.
Another probable casualty of the coronavirus: Costco's semi-annual Spam sale.

After skipping it in September, 2019, I looked for the sale this March; however, it wasn't there. We were just beginning to experience the supply shortages brought on by the virus. Surely by now, September, the shelves would overflow with America's favorite canned luncheon meat. Alas, again there was no sale.

We were down, uncomfortably, to our last eight cans, so I bought 16 more at full price.

Hey. don't judge. When the power goes out for days, I'll be dining on a slice of moist, salty goodness to accompany a hunk of bread or a scoop of rice, while others will be picking through formerly refrigerated spoils. It would have been nice, though, if I had gotten $5 off each package.
