I am so sick of the problems we have been seeing with products not getting to stores. We don't have the nice selection we used to have. I know, I sound like a spoiled individual but, hey! I like what I like. I go to make my monthly grocery list and find what I can that I want and that is available. Then it comes time to actually order it and have it delivered and at least a third is out of stock. It's bad enough that our groceries never seem to go far enough each month and, that the second half of the month is usually scarce pickings but, then you add on that we can't get the things we want. 
For instance: I went to get strawberries for our annual spring strawberry shortcake and could not find any reasonably priced choices. I wanted to get frozen ones since I don't trust the person picking my groceries to choose the riper ones and the frozen ones are usually sweet and tasty. My only choice was organic ones at about $12.50 a package. Ouch!

Yes. And if you want natural products you pay a premium for them.

@celticeagle I see. Here is the contrary. It's a agronomical county (if that's even a word ^^') fresh fruits and vegetables are nit that expensive. But the whole rest is.
Like 1L of cow milk is 1$ but any vegan milk is at least 6$ .. because it came from somewhere far I suppose.

Sometimes you have to adjust your standards or pay higher prices for something you want. You're not the only one affected.

Never thought I was. Yes, I will have to adjust.

There is still a problem with finding enough drivers to deliver merchandise. There are help wanted signs everywhere but obviously no one wants to work.

I guess not. Hope they get it figured out soon.
