shortages

[Medicine Woman]

So after church DSis and I are heading to the Dollar Tree to get all their shelf milk in cartons for hurricane season and/or possible shutdown. $1.25 a quart it’s not much more expensive than buying it from the cooler in gallon jugs and requires no refrigeration. Milk was a luxury after Ida.

The large container of decaf coffee we normally buy jumped from $17 to $22. We have 8 in the basement pantry from when it was on sale for $13.

Gallon of milk was over $3 here, most I have paid in ages.

Can I come milk a goat?😂

My coffee went from just over $14 to almost $17. My grocery bill is getting to be a bit much- looking forward to gardening season. It actually feels like a necessity this year.

I was at Walmart today, I had to check out the beef. Now I'm thinking perhaps I shouldn't have 🙄. Chuck roast $6.97 a lb, New York Strip $11.97 a lb, ribeye $15.97 a lb and whole brisket $4.46 a lbs. The beef was scant also like less than 1/2 dozen to choose from except for burger there was lots of 80/20 burger.

Side note- I have two lactose intolerant kids so I don’t buy regular milk, but I looked on Walmart’s site and a gallon of store brand whole milk is currently $4.27 at my local store 😳

Was just at a different dollar general. This one was fully stocked. Even the medicine isle was completely stocked, same with dairy coolers. So my conclusion is shortages are local, I see no other explanation... Unless product is in the back and no one is keeping up with stocking the shelves - IDK?
