Any random supply issues by you?

Cat and dog food has had empty shelves mostly. Dollar General is all we got out here. IGA but prices are ridiculous. Selection as well.
String cheese, wtf always hard to find. We have 3 DG and a DG market within 5 -7 miles of one another, and they ust opened a 2nd one next town over. Brand new building, not well stocked.

I grew up in Michigan, and feel like Dollar General is the 7/11 here in the mid south. without the selection.

Coke is often low in stock.
They always, always, ALWAYS have Diet Coke, Coke Zero, and Cherry Coke.

SOMEBODY in management needs to tell corporate to tell the coca-cola company that regular old Coke is mostly what people want and mostly what should be delivered.
Theres a whole supply & demand thing here that they are just not getting.

I see loads of off-brand sting cheese all the time. Kraft string cheese seems to have disappeared.
And yes Dollar General has actually replaced and pushed out 7-11 in many areas, and they dont have the things I want even though their stores are big.

I usually give out full sized candybars; usually something imported. I don't want to be stuck with them. The granola bars are good anyway. Better than anything they sell in the bags of shit sized candy anyway.

One year my dad gave out cheap toys and it seemed to go over pretty well with the young ones.
The older ones only want candy.

 

[Red Squirrel]

That reminds me I need to buy stuff to give out. I always wait close to last minute otherwise I just end up eating it all and having to buy more.

The juice boxes we get my son haven't been around for over 2 weeks now which is odd.

On another note if anyone needs an OLED Switch, I may or may not know someone who has some extras.

If you hadn't specified the south...I'd think you and I were neighbors.
We have one badly over-priced IGA, one Dollar General (opened last year) that has empty shelves most of the time, and one "liquidation outlet" store...kind of like a very low budget Grocery Outlet. Otherwise, it's a 25-30 mile drive to a Safeway, Walmart, and a couple of small independent grocery stores...and lots of bodegas and mini-marts like 7-11.

I'm at a complete loss on finding why there are no money-growing trees available.

The grocery store in town has always carried Trappist Preserves (made by monks in a nearby town), but haven't had any for two weeks now. I'm out of their blueberry preserve, which is really freaking good.

Trappist Preserves are great, but I haven'y gotten any in awhile. Damson plum is my favorite.

Wife told me she was unable to order toilet paper and paper towel from Costco yesterday. I've been unable to get the salsa I like anywhere in town and finally had to order it from walmart. Which wasn't bad, it was crazy cheap, like half the price of Safeway.

 

[K1052]

Not out of anything but selections are down in some stores to be sure, gaps where product should be. Anybody who wants to give physical xmas gifts should be shopping now.

Who knew that every single company in America ordering tons of stuff at the same time could overwhelm the intermodal system lol.

We use Amazon Fresh and Instacart, I have noticed that food is becoming outrageously expensive.

The drinking water at Giant food often has very empty shelves with only a few bottles.

Walmart, previously in the busniess of undercutting the competition with drinking water, jacked the price up to &0.98, while Giant food is still $0.89 for drinking water, distilled water, etc.

Apricot is my favorite ... good stuff!

Not sure if its in stock at the moment though... been awhile since I even thought of it!

Kraft Heinz says people must get used to higher food prices

The boss of the food giant says rising prices are partly due to pandemic disruption.

Getting used to it can mean going without for a lot of people. I spent close to $300 yesterday to feed 3 people. I frequently skip dinner due to nausea & never eat breakfast at home.

Liquor stores have a lot less obscure premium spirits lately.

Quite a few food items at costco, the brand/type of prawns we like is rarely in.

Boneless skinless chicken thighs are absent probably half the time I try to buy them anywhere.

That looks like papyrus tp. Is that barn in Egypt?

My wife really likes Heinz Ketchup. I get it....but the Kroger brand is like half price. Paying that much of a markup for a name brand is ridiculous unless the store brand is just bad. (like those fancy ketchup packets they used to have that were watered down or had off-flavors) The Kroger brand is good enough for me/kids.

Groceries are hit and miss around here, selection is down.

These days I'm just buying 10lb bags of potatoes and 15lb bags of rice and making fried potatoes/fried rice multiple times/week. Since my wife has celiac, it works out decent for all of us. Both of those items can be had for cheap and they go a long way.

Right now, meat is what's expensive here. Steak prices have been high and the typical quality the stores stock have been that "USDA Choice" crap. (no marbling/tough meat for $10/lb)

Choice here is running $15. to $20 a lb prime around $30.

Different shortage problem, but we can't find any decent network administrators to replace the guy that left where I worked. It's been a solid five months now, and everyone we've talked to isn't very good. I guess that someone with good firewall experience can afford to be picky at the moment.
