WAS AT SAMS CLUB TODAY AND ... THERE IS A SHORTAGE

One thing is for sure, the Chinese are not keeping big and tall clothing for themselves.

This is One of many reasons I moved from my beautiful manicured neighborhood to the country. Had about 50 feet of bushes that would go in bloom once a year and there were no bugs on them no bees wasps no nothing it was creepy. The poison trucks used to come out all the time to spray for mosquitoes I guess it killed everything else too. Now I live in the country and oh my goodness do we have bugs! But that’s a good thing !!!

I'll look into that. Thanks

Just bought a 40 cal today and I got the two last hollow point boxes of Ammo. No range ammo available or anything. All on backorder..this is 2nd Amendment Sports, so a pretty big chain.

Biblical
Flood hitting China

Why are you guys shopping in person?

I like living on the edge!!

Dear God,- that sounds like a complete travesty!!

Means zilch unless you establish ssid employee as super genius who understands entire supply chain, coupled with up to the minute consumer demand projections.

Goods are not a linear flow into your cart....

I hadn't thought about it until the can shortage mentioned recently, but it could be all kinds of packaging running out. The plastics for liter bottles, detergents, milk, probably all come from China. I think we need to be ramping up some recycling and sanitizing of containers.

It won't happen before we start running out of supplies.
Dark omens all around us. Honestly, I've been getting bad feelings every time I go shopping.

Just keep driving from store to store, that way you can cry at each one!

preheat the oven to about 200 or whatever allows you to touch the interior w/a wad of wet paper towels/white vinegar without getting burned and start to work it-
then brillo or steel wool- then back to the vinegar for a rinse-or work it again w/the steel wool-
it's not as bad as it sounds either- and the fumes are less deadly than the oven cleaner chemicals.
some used to say to put a bowl of vinegar in there and warm up the oven and the fumes from the vinegar would loosen up the crap but i never had any luck w/that one.
if it's a gas stove,see if the "bottom" floor can get lifted out then u can simply get it in the sink and scrub the hell outta it real easy.
same for the door--tilt it about 30 degrees and pull it up--should come right off. easier to clean then.
where i am now.i am still stuck w/a POS electric range that to me is a toy--i need to get "tank" and hook up propane and get the range.

because what you haul home gets home.
are online orders over your way done immediately ? same day ?
not everyone has that.

Please stop feeding your dog Alpo. Don't you love your dog?

I haven't seen shortages on much if anything, but that's at a regular grocery store. Are you seeing them just in the stores like Sam's Club and Costco or in other's too?

Running out of cheap Chinese stuff.

TierrasaNta?

no shortage in CAPS apparently

Ha ha! It’s all because of the companies that have no loyalty to America! You shouldn’t spend money there!

Caps lock broke.

The retail pharmacy was wiped out of zinc and will not get any back until Thursday, also wiped out of small womens size Depends.
You can call and check up on what they are out of and see such trends in customer spends as well as what promtped it.

Do you have a source handy?

The products may end up being a bit more expensive, but at least we'll HAVE them!

Next time, just for fun, check out the baking aisle and see if they have yeast (for making bread). My local Safeway hasn't carried it in months, and there's not even a spot for it anymore, it's like they don't expect to ever get it again. Also, rubbing alcohol and Lysol Spray cleaner with bleach have been missing for months.

I can't imagine shopping at places like that.

I deliberately pay more to buy stuff at Ace hardware in the closest town to my boondock.

I frequent any little mom and pop and pay extra to buy there.

Grateful to have the means/savings/job to be able to support them.

I bought two cans of Lysol spray at CVS a week or two ago. I needed it, so we went to the Walmart and they didn't have it. There was a CVS in the parking lot so we went there and they had it. I only needed one but figured two would last me a couple years and it doesn't really go bad.

I haven't seen any weird Mexican branded paper products. And we have a lot of Mexicans around here, too.

Wow. Almost like there’s a war on, eh?

Because News is FAKE.

He was passed out at the bar....

Probably 60% of Americans, during the work week, would eat one or more meals a day, at vendor-provider instead of home. That has changed quite a bit...

Grocers' just-in-time inventory stocking models were based upon this "normal" grocery turnover and "normal" demand.

Grocer Suppliers optimize their distribution centers for the regular/normal demand of the stores they serve. Usually these are regionally located.

Most cities have a trucking area for fresh food suppliers and meat. Big, several square block of refrigerated warehouses that are rented to the big importers or vendors of fresh foods and veges. These facilities not quite as modern as the big wholesaler operations, but still unable to cope with sudden 60% growth in food demand.

Our local Fred Meyer is about The Worst. Wally not far behind. They stock more cans of soup than canned meat/meal products. Not really much there but Chef Boy-ar-dee small cans and tuna; plus lots of chili w/beans. About it. On other side of the aisle is soup. More soups than meat etc; except, now they got lots of boxes of crackers taking up space where used to be soup.

Not really worth the trip to either store, they're out of so much stuff. Local chain is very well stocked and has more groceries. Both Fred's and Wally's got nothing in canned veges but carrots and beets; and not much of those. Freds was sticking some shit-brand BBQ sauce in with the beans to hide the empty space.

Living at the end of the road, almost literally, there's not many options. For almost 20yrs, we've kept stock of everything we use on regular basis, so no worries...

Winter is coming... We've seen snow that never melted off as early as 25th of Sep.

Hope you get what you need while you can find it. Sure helps reduce your daily stress.

Best to you all...
