Aw, thanks Janet and Laurie! That’s sweet of you. But honestly, we’re good here—in the 90s, I had to go to the Africa shop for sweet potatoes and squash, and I wouldn’t have had a clue where to get tortillas. Now mainstream grocery stores stock those things on a regular basis. I’m agog at the comments in this thread from North America. Hang tight, everybody!

I shop almost exclusively at Trader Joes and have found that they aren't as well stocked as they have been historically. I always manage to find what I need but not always what I want. Supply chain shortages at work are another issue. It's been a nightmare there and I don't know when that will improve.

I'm also a Trader Joe's shopper, and they discontinued my favorite marmalade, and then I couldn't find any (of any brand) anywhere else for three months. And coconut milk was out of stock, November-December. Of course, we made something else to eat. But it was almost amusing the complete randomness of very specific items that I couldn't find for a couple months.

Love Trader Joes!
Just thought of one-peaches that come in a jar that are in juice not syrup. We found the canned ones, but we like the jar ones much more.

Quality Dijon mustard was out of stock for the longest while. I was so happy when it finally back at Costco, Trader Joe’s and other stores that I bought 4 large jars!

I shop at Wegmans. Lately so many things are not in stock. One day a couple of weeks ago there was no butter , half and half, Flavor Bomb tomatoes or leeks. Weirdly enough I found all those items at another grocery store a mile up the road.

There have been missing items here and there but the main one I can think of is McCormick Swedish Meatball Seasoning packet. I couldn't get it for months. This week 2 different stores had no canned or frozen biscuits.

Ha! The decaf coffee that has been missing for almost one month has been restocked!

I've been seeing a quite a few since late fall, in the North Atlanta 'burbs.   Some are visibly posted, and others are simply items that have quietly disappeared over the past year, and other items shifted to cover the empty shelf space.

Many McCormick spices were indefinitely out of stock just before Thanksgiving.   Publix supermarket noted these shortages as 'indefinitely out of stock, due to supply chain issues by the manufacturer'.

Leaner Creamer, which is my non-dairy creamer of choice, went 'indefinitely' out of stock early January.

Condiments and olive oils - definitely seeing a sustained reduction of availability on the shelves.

I've been consistently seeing fluctuations in fresh foods:  chicken, turkey, pork, lettuce, avocado, citrus fruits.   Also a decrease and/or empty shelves for household stuff:  resealable storage bags, cleaning products, and sponges - although I'm glad to see there's a demand for keeping surfaces clean    

There is less coffee stocked overall at most grocery stores I've gone to in the past four months.   I think that's partially the pandemic, and partially climate change.    There's been a lot of press lately, but I've been seeing articles about the effects of climate change on Colombian coffee for a couple of years now.   

The pandemic is taking a toll on supply-chain, but also on local services in my community.   We had six weeks of late garbage pickup - all of December into mid-January, with the Omicron surge.   Waste Management sent customers an email explaining they had so many people out with Omicron, they didn't have people to drive trucks.   At one point, they were outsourcing trash pickup to individual vendors with trucks. **

**(Side note, I've doubled down this past year on reducing and recycling, and I've realied our household produces a 3:1 ratio of recycleables to actual trash.  WM provides recycling - although I don't know if the recycling actually happens.   But I'm hopeful that maybe someday this country will get started in earnest).

ETA: a friend just posted this meme on social media, and I had to share.

Seasonings put on deli jojo's (potatoes) so only plain often available, which taste nasty. Also very hard to find Gold N' Plump chicken thighs we use in a variety of meals, including my favorite dinner, made with rice, cream of mushroom/chicken soup, dry onion soup sprinkles
