Lately I have noticed a variety of product shortages.,accompanied by empty shelves. I often order from a nationwide discount store in the states. I found it unusual that they were out of bleach. When COVID was in effect no one could find bath tissue or cases of water. That era has passed, however the prices have increased dramatically. The tariffs are overwhelming us. When I was at the grocery today, I was surprised to see different shelves that were empty. There were no packages of organic fruits. In addition, there was a lack of various types of foods in general. Even the price of postage has increased. Sometimes, when you wish to buy various items you can’t find them. For example, I like an organic cocoa. The shelf location has been empty for three weeks. I even went to a sister store, and still empty. Today I tried to purchase a specific brand a CBD pain relief cream. Not only has the price increased from $23.95 with free shipping to $134.95 that also included shipping; I could not find it at a lower price and everywhere was out of stock. This is an unusual item for product shortages. Sometimes when I do go to the grocery I have found that they were out of stock for organic flour and sugar and the prices, of course, are up dramatically. I do not fully understand. I do see continual adverts for vehicles that they claim they are overstocked. Who knows? In the Good Gus series, from time to time there were product shortages. The shopkeepers would join together and head to Ft. Worth for the items they needed. The books give an eye opener to the children that everyone joins together. I hope they were look at the e-boooks or paperbacks. In “Misplaced trust” the only empty shelves people cared about were the ones containing money of trust estates.
