Major container shortages everywhere! I just got my pallet of 8 ounce bottles- backordered 7 weeks. A friend of my DDILs makes barbecue sauce and sells it. He has had to shut down... can't get the plastic bottles anywhere!
I've mentioned previously, but plastic caps for bottles are either unavailable, or have quadrupled in price... from around $11 for 144 to over $42 for 144!
I did a quick shopping run today. The empty spots on the shelves were shocking! No eggplant anywhere. No large packages of sliced pepperoni. No Miracid (the Miracle Gro for acid loving plants). No citronella oil! Good grief... the county where we live is Mosquito central, thanks to the proximity of several lakes and tons of muck ground. How do you not have citronella oil in May! The large bags of peppermint lifesavers have gone up $2 since Christmas ($10 rather than $7.98), and they didn't have any wintergreen. Also, no yogurt tubes at Aldis for over a month now. No, they aren't critical... but when you've got 2 and 3 year old girls who are always hungry, they're handy!
Thankful for our preps, even if they made moving an even bigger PITA than it would have been otherwise!
