First time I put a product back on the shelf

[CrusaderFrank]

I had sticker shock today. My big box grocery usually carries gluten free matzoh. I haven't had them in a while, but remember them being a tad more expensive than the regular, maybe $6.50/box. Today, they were $9.79. I did a double take. What the actual fuck?

My sister came back from her store, a big box a little further upstate NY: no eggs, no produce?

democrats: make America Venezuela!

Having trouble finding things like veggie spaghetti and brown rice, that are usually stocked up even when the "normal" product supply is run down.

The cold cut supply in every store I've been to the last several weeks has been depleted, if not wiped out.

Your sister can't afford eggs and produce??
Does she not earn at least $15 an hour?
Is she spending 6 bucks on a Big Meal Deal instead of 3 bucks on a dozen eggs?
The eggs provide the same nutrition for 12 days while the Meal Deal is only good for the day.

On a positive note for Americans, they get the other essentials such as alcohol and cigarettes for a low price!

Cold cuts are exorbitantly priced and are a poor choice as much as the Big Meal Deal. Buy a ham )bone in) and it gets you your sandwiches for a tenth of the price, for 10 times as long.

Not to suggest that America isn't seeing the effects of capitalist government that inevitably leads to huge income inequality.

The store was like any supermarket in a Socialist-run country - barren shelves.

Mind your fucking manners about my sister too, she's not nice like me. She'll plant you in her backyard without a second thought

Our store shelves in B.C. aren't barren. Somebody has pulled the old bait and switch on both of us.
We use to be the commie/socialist bastards? What's going on?

Nobody gives a fuck about your opinions about dietary choices.

You want to eliminate income equality, move your back bacon munching ass to Cuba or North Korea....Nearly everyone there is equally dirt fucking poor.

You people must shop at the wrong stores. I have seen no increase nor any shortage of pasta products. My big box store had plenty of eggs and produce.

I have some issues with believing you. You people seem to invent things that I never see.

Don't take this personally, but I don't give a fuck

The pasta section is half empty at my local Publix grocery store. I like to buy shells, and they never have any. A lot other types are also missing.

Part of the problem is that the cost of shipping has exploded by 500-600% under Xi's handpicked American President

I have seen clear evidence of price gouging on some products.

One major brand of cereal is fast disappearing from shelves - likely due to shortages caused by a strike. This morning I checked prices - one in the family is partial to that brand. What had been selling for $4.99 two weeks ago is now $7.29. Where there normally are about 16 boxes on the shelf there were only 2. It was easy to pass them up because when I heard of the strike about 3 weeks ago I bought a full case online at a price that worked out to about $3/package for the same size - even then a good price compared to the supermarket shelf price.

Not always easy to anticipate shortages/gouging but not impossible.

One more example: A particular eye care OTC product bought last week in a six-pak for $7.15 each today sells for $14.75 per unit.

But there's NO inflation!
