Thanks. This story fit the actual shortages we ARE seeing so well, it was easily believable. Still can't find my taco bell fire sauce locally. We went from one stop for groceries to a minimum two stops. And we still typically can't find at least one or two items and they stay on the list until next time. It's almost like "rolling blackout" type shortages.
I know you said prices hadn't really gone up where you're at, but meat prices have skyrocketed. I stopped off to pick up some thawed ground beef the other night and it was over $16 for a "heavy" two pound package...actual cost was just shy of $7 a pound. And it was 80/20. My brain immediately went into old man rant mode and "I used to by T Bones for less than this!!!" Egg whites are up exactly $1 from a year ago where I'm at. There's definitely some fuckery going on.
I steal handfuls of this shit whenever I get a chance. My supplies getting low but next time I go in taco hell I’ll be sure to get you some.
