Slightly off-topic, but about two years ago I noticed that many stores were either no longer selling packets of spaghetti sauce mix, or had greatly reduced the shelf space for that item. Instead, they seem to be promoting pre-made sauces like Prego and Ragu. I’ve also noticed repeated shortages of clog removers like Drano and Liquid Plumber.
Our Walmart didn’t have yeast for the first year of covid. I had to holler and holler at the manager to stock it. They finally got in those little single packets but not the jars. That’s a significant price increase.
We still have shortages and limits. Strangely, there are no more reduced to sale/clearance items.
Beef and pork prices are out of this world.
Also, I’m still typing on a keyboard that broke at the beginning of covid. Found only one and it was out of the US so highly suspect.
Had to buy a new washing machine at the beginning of covid and it never cycled to spin so is a royal pain in the butt. Couldn’t get it fixed and now it’s out of warranty.
So far I’ve noticed shortages in water chestnuts and canned split pea soup.
