Okay, you’re reading this on Saturday night. Panic mode is setting in. First rule: Do not assume anything. Don’t drive to a giant Kroger or Target without checking their website first. You’ll just weep in an empty parking lot.
Your best bet? Drugstores and gas stations. They carry basics: milk, bread, candy. And yes, emergency chocolate bunnies. Is it gourmet? Nope. Will it work? Absolutely. Desperate times, friend.
The Exceptions (Because Life Loves Surprises)
Some small, independent grocery stores stay open. They’re the local heroes. Look for ethnic markets or corner shops. They often say, “Holiday? What holiday? You need lentils, right?” Support them. They’re your Easter lifeline.
Also, if you’re in a major city like New York or London? You’ve got luck. Bodegas and corner shops often stay open. They run on a different clock. It’s called the “we never sleep” clock. God bless them.
