We also are getting slapped with paint scarcity. No distributors here will sell out of market either for jobs.

Local major zero turn dealer in Lafayette has only three units left in stock. Two Gravely units and one Hustler. Nothing scheduled to arrive for months.

Appliances have been difficult to get for more than a year now. I have family in the business and he just cannot get inventory fast enough.
That child tax credit they started sending out ain't helping this at all. Folks with 4 kids are getting an "extra" $1K in their bank account, and they gotta spend it.

Had a window unit AC still under warranty that died a few days back. The company could not locate a replacement anywhere in the lower 48, so they ended up just sending us a full $700 refund and basically saying "good luck."

Of course, the days of sending a repair technician are LONG gone.

It is the only thing I'm seeing on sale this week, so now might be your time.



Where? I have checked all my usual places and haven't seen any sales?

Sprouts and Matherne's were where I think I saw them.

You're right though.. both Robert and Winn Dixie have no ad this week.

What i want to know is where all the coins are going. I was talking to a guy who said that since copper is so valuable people might be melting them down and selling them for higher than their coin value. But idk, that sounds kind of crazy.

Personally though, i’ve had trouble finding gas and some groceries in the past.

Ordered a fridge back in April. Was supposed to be in beginning of September. Now we won't see it till mid-November.

Also took me a few weeks to find a nice bike last year.

Does it count if it's my wife? (no pics)

She had to go to three different stores just to find eggs earlier this week (Target on Millerville was out, WalMart on O'Neal was out, finally found some at Rouse's at Juban).

All manner of industrial equipment components, primarily electrical.

Also paint is a real bitch to get right now.

This past weekend I couldn't find mayo and almost no coffee in the stores that I visited. It was such a horrible life changing experience.

Pizza Lunchables have been a tough get. I went to the store the other day and it was a wall of the nacho cheese crap

Zoe’s didn’t have hummus the other day because of an apparent chick pea shortage

What is it with sex and marriage? Is it just people that are 50+ just don't give a damn about sex? shite I hope that's not me when I'm 50. Don't plan to ever get married.
