It's not even panic buying; the demand mix literally shifted overnight across the entire economy. Instead of eating out every meal, I've been cooking just to give myself something to do. That means my food is coming from a grocery store rather than 50 lb bags from Sysco.
The more expensive options are just another form of demand lever: some people will be unwilling to buy a $5 carton of eggs even if it means walking away with no eggs. I suspect a lot of people are just buying the expensive eggs -- which is likely a huge boon for "premium" food vendors as they typically have to account for a larger % of unsold product loss.
