An interesting observation where I am is that the local Walmart has all sorts of food shortages: the meat section is almost completely empty, and there are a lot of empty shelves in the fresh produce and frozen fruits and vegetables sections.
However the local Costco is completely normal albeit more expensive than usual.
Given the demographics of Walmart and Costco shoppers I could almost believe that at least some shitlibs are being completely honest when they say "Shortages? What shortages?"
The stores near me have started stocking unusual goods. It isn't unknown that grocers will take on a new product or two, but I'm seeing far more new product brands than usual. Weird off-brands of Mac'n'cheese replacing store name and Kraft, in example. Not alongside, just replacing, not on the shelves. And I doubt Kraft has stopped producing one of its flagship products.
But I'm guessing the store couldn't get shipments in time, and so got large/larger shipments from less mainstream companies, or companies that they have relations with that don't normally supply the product but have something comparable, to make up the difference. But hey, I've got my 48 pack of Mac'n'Cheetos, I guess that's "close enough". And no one notices when the pancake mix is sold by Restaurant Standard, or something to that effect, instead of Aunt Jemima or store brand.
Yeah they've been doing the "unusual goods" thing as well. Selling things like corned beef and Easter hams off-season. That worked reasonably well for a time, but now even that's not enough.
