Some Aldi's are completely out of eggs depending on the store and time of day. They normally get their eggs locally in Iowa. The feds used their PCR test and detected bird flu, so they just killed 7 million chickens at a few locations across the state. One chicken plant that lost 5 million chickens laid off 200 people and doesn't plan to re-open. Chicken at Aldi has been mostly unavailable, but stores like HyVee or Costco have some at higher prices. | |||

Speaking of Aldi’s, I’ve not found any of their German bread in awhile. It’s rhebread that is in a brick shape with a cellophane type wrap. Stores well, minimal ingredients, many months shelf life. Good toasted with butter or jam. I wonder if they stopped offering them. I just ordered some from Amazon. . | |||

I have also been getting autoship orders cancelled both by Chewy and Amazon. I order Sandclear (or close substute) each month for the horses, it is a grain supplement like Metamucil. When it becomes available, it is more expensive, has gone from $80 to $140 for 20 lbs. since November. LGB. ---------------------------------------------------- Dances with Crabgrass | |||

Maybe they should quit putting them in the Boy’s restrooms for the drag queens to use.  Tampon shortage hits major retailers nationwide https://www.washingtonexaminer...retailers-nationwide First, it was baby formula. Now, it's tampons. Store shelves where tampons should be stocked have been bare in recent months due to supply chain issues exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, setting the scene for a shortage that’s been brewing for a while. Evidence of the shortage has been growing on social media and forums, though data mapping out the course of the shortage have yet to be compiled. Frustrated women have shared their trouble finding their preferred menstrual products on Twitter and Reddit, often including photos of empty shelves at big-box retailers such as CVS and Walgreens. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

And I give you the opposite of shortages. My local supermarket has a coupon for an 18 pack of large eggs...Free Good Thursday, Friday and Saturday | |||

I got free fresh eggs every day delivered at the house. What’s your point? I would strongly suggest the grocery just had a lot of old eggs he needed to get rid of in a hurry.

There’s a product we use called See Spot Run, that helps prevent and heal the urine spots a dog leaves on the lawn. We’ve used it for several years (female dog) and it helps a lot. Can’t find it this year. Our local pet store doesn’t have it, so I ordered a big bottle through Amazon. That order was cancelled and the CC refunded. Maybe there’s urea in it and they can’t get enough. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Whereas I would strongly suggest that there's likely nothing wrong with their eggs, and instead they just figured it's worth the $1 per pack loss to get extra customers through the doors. Sure, some folks will come by just to get their free eggs and leave. But others will decide to do the rest of their grocery shopping there anyway since gas is expensive and they're already there, or will go in with the intention of just getting free eggs but then impulse buy several more items too. They're planning to make up the small loss on the free eggs with increased sales on everything else. Lots of retailers adopt a similar strategy by offering certain items at/below cost, or giving away free stuff. It's called the "loss leader" marketing strategy. Increased foot traffic = increased sales of other more profitable goods. | |||

Maybe… Well aware of lost leaders … But you’re guessing as much as I am! Lol "Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty." ~Robert A. Heinlein | |||

My point is obvious. They're giving away 18 eggs per customer for free at a time when many are saying there are egg shortages. I doubt they're a bunch of old eggs that need to be gotten rid of as my store does this on a regular basis, perhaps 3 or 4 times a year and has for the 17 years I've been buying groceries there. Since it's a regular thing it's pretty obvious it isn't a distressed merchandise thing. | |||

Speaking of eggs, just last night I scrambled some w/ leftover beer cheese brat and then a few splashes of Sriracha after plating. Perfect. Then today I get an email that Sriracha (Huy Fong Foods) is halting production. I don't use the hot sauces often as I can't handle them like I used to but this news burned me the wrong way. Sriracha Shelves Are Emptying At the end is a link to a Chef John video to make your own. If I had the intestinal fortitude I did 25 yrs ago, I would give it a try. Looks like fun. ETA:And still waiting for Jif to get back on the shelf after the recall. | |||

No Sriracha here either… SF member old Dino scored a bunch of bottles recently.  Not that big a deal really; similar reasons but my favorite hot sauce… But I do enjoy it in pho/broth "Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty." ~Robert A.

Wise white cheddar cheese doodles have been impossible to find here. They're not for me, my dogs love them. The first time I gave them the orange one's they looked at me like I was trying to poison them. | |||
