I work in a supermarket (in dairy, for those who are curious), so I have been encountering all the stuff mentioned in this thread on an almost daily basis. Also, the place I work at has been having sporadic shipping on various products which means often don’t get a certain product for a long time, much to our customers’ consternation (Lactaid being the latest product affected by all this).
Hi Tack, I've noticed availability problems with Lactaid as you've mentioned. All my family are lactose intolerant, so it's an important staple at my home.
The thing that has me cynical in all this is that the usual result of issues such as these things ends up in higher prices permanently. Even after the supply, shipping, etc. returns to "normal" levels the prices don't. They'll come back down a little, but we might as well get used to higher prices.

My brand of jelly ain't on the shelf. I hope it's just temporary.

1 lime = 65 cents. Wow.

Nope. She said it's gone forever.

My favorite yogurt is gone. And the ones I'm trying out in replacement are..... well, not much of a replacement.

At the grocery store on Tuesday, a 12 oz package of hot dogs was $1.00. The next day, Wednesday, it was $1.09.
On Thursday (today) it was $1.20.
Yikes. It's also costing them to have someone walk around and change prices.

Now the 12 liter battle of soda at Smith's has risen to $0.99!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Short grain rice went up to $1.39, but long grain stayed at $.99/pound.
I'll be switching.

Frozen juice, in the last month or so, leaped from $1.99 to $2.49.
My old brand returned at $1.99. Whew.

Out of curiosity, what brand of yogurt would that be?
Revisiting this thread, I’ve noticed comments about certain products being gone “forever.” I have that last word in quotations because in my workplace, we’ve had products supposedly being discontinued, only to turn up again weeks, sometimes months later, which my supervisor and I find absolutely frustrating.

Trader Joe's Plain, Non-fat, called "French Village" or something.
They've replaced with something with the same brand but not the same name. It's now kinda watery, in comparison.
