The store (ShopRite) was probably worse supply-wise today than it's been since the start of the outbreak!
In some areas, but not in all: bread was back, but there was a surprising lack of produce this time - garlic was sold out (people have obviously heard my theories).
Any packaged goods on sale were gone (sales on Stove-Top-Stuffing, salad dressing, ice cream, and Craker Barrel cheese left these shelves stripped!)
The cheaper tonic water was sold out (obviously people have caught on to the idea of the quinine in tonic).
Paper products sold out (now they had Marcal Toilet Paper by the single roll, but I didn't get any because there was no price - only $9.99 - for what? The giant cardboard box they were in? For a single roll? No info whatsoever on how much an individual roll cost on the price label, so didn't waste my time trying to find out.)
Hand Sanitizers, wipes, disenfectants, bleach, alcohol = still none.
Refrigerated juices = sold out completely.
I saw one worker taking photos of the empty shelves with his phone and telling a customer his mom was never going to believe this.

We've found some stuff at our local ShopRite, but not as much as we've found at Stop and Shop. You should check the prices on the items that you need. I don't know about NJ, but here in NY, ShopRite has NOT been price gouging at all.
On a sad note, the owner of five ShopRite stores in New Jersey died from coronavirus today.
