People Won't Even Buy These Grocery Store Items in a Global Pandemic

Corned Beef

Just because St. Patty's Day was a flop this year doesn't mean that people shouldn't be picking up their customary corned beef brisket. Although they aren't as good as their Jewish counterpart (pastrami, buddy), a good corned beef brisket will do in a pinch. Pro tip: if you soak it in fresh water, you can pull a lot of the brine out of the beef. This leaves you with tenderness, and then you can choose how you want to season it on your own.
