I would like to be on any ping list you might create for that!
It would be redgolum, not me.
Oh crap! Clicked the wrong comment. Thanks.
Please ping me if you do .

The great wall of buttwipe in Hillsboro Oregon is gone. They are out.
Walmart here in Hernando, MS. has been out of stock on stuff for weeks. Customers joke as they pass each other in the isle about how they seem to be out of so much.
Time to go back to Kroger.
Aldi’s large eggs usually average 55g. That’s almost jumbo (56g).
Our Costco was so full there were pallets on the floor because there was no room on the shelves.
North Carolina calls them Alcoholic Beverage Control ie the ABC store.
#30 I noticed my last package of 18 large eggs that some defiantly were smaller. I wonder if they are mixing in some.
I am receiving some groceries today by delivery so will check to make sure the large eggs are large.
Ice cream used to be $2.49 or on sale $1.99 / half gallon.
It’s now $5.49 or $6.49 for 1.5 quarts.
Is there an Aldi’s in your area?
thx, ABC in FL is a liquor store but not state run, it’s a chain
Yes.
They’re good on fruit & vegetables, very good on bratwurst, pork, hamburger (including grass fed) and chicken, great on canned goods.
Don’t trust their dairy products except cheese though.
How manufacturers do the “shrinking package” scam: if the old size and the new size were stocked at the same time, then people would notice.
So you stop delivering the old size until there are no more on the shelves or in people’s pantries. Then start delivering the new size.
Eggs delivered and I would say the size is medium.
In it’s simplist form, inflation can be defined with three clauses:
1 - Too much money...
2 - ...chasing...
3 - ...too few goods.
Google M2. Clause 1, check.
Google velocity of M2, Clause 2 - not yet (but watch out!)
Anecdotal evidence of clause three is all over the place. Check.
So probably inflation has started heating up. Once it gets hot, spending will accelerate as people trade paper assets for hard assets. This could be very ugly.
Here they are. The warehouse in RDU can’t get employees to load the trucks because of the “free $$$” and “unemployment $$$” bull shit !!!
In Texas this would never happen. The store owners would go do it or send employees to load the trucks !!! There are 2 distributors that split the liquor products (because they are both owned by retired old school politicians and the families) and the beer is the same.
There are some floating around.
But good idea.
I have been telling people to get their Christmas presents (and anything else) now. At least on order.
