Went into Aldi today. Haven't been in there for at least 2 weeks. I have never seen it so empty. Holes everywhere on the shelves. Prices drastically increased. Sugar almost $2 a bag. No cake mix to speak of. No jars of queso cheese. Canned veggies very low. Canned fruit almost nonexistent. They had meat, but it had gone up since the last time I was there. Frozen was so-so. There were no signs up limiting anything.

Local WalMart was completely out of frozen veggies. Nearly all fresh veggies, too. The only fresh veggie of any quantity was onions. Also, completely out of bananas. Many food isles were half empty shelves, too much to list.
I did grab a years supply of refried beans, 31 ounce cans for .59 each.

A few odds and ends at the downtown city Target in Portland, Oregon.
1. Red Baron Cheese pizza was $3.33 each on sale, which was at least 2 times a month in the summer.
Now they are $ 4.49 each all the time. Digirnos went from $5 to over $6 plus
2. Simply juice went from $2.99 to $4 or more each container.
3. Pinesol from $3.50 to $4.49 each.
I am seeing 20 to 30 % price increases pretty much every where.
4. Listerine went from $5 plus to $7.29
The target brand is $3.60 one half the cost.
I'm thinking the store brands are going to start eating the name brands alive marketshare wise.
I am also seeing quality issues, like expired dates on Darigold milk versus the target brand.
Lots of half empty shelves also.
Like that big russian store people would line up for when they walked by.
Comrades, duck and cover.

Folks, let's not forget "package shrinkage". Please also report any package shrinkage. Thank you.

Stopped in our Meijer today. Indiana.
It looked great, the only area I didn’t go to was their meat department so I have no idea about that but the rest of the store looked like not a thing was out of place.
I don’t know why I even bother with Kroger anymore compared to Meijer and Aldi.
Honestly, Kroger can’t hold a candle to either store when it comes to prices and selection. Except for meat.
Our Aldi has pitiful meat selection and Meijer’s meat is, well, I don’t know..... it just always seems kind of stinky over there. May be just me.?

Certa Bonum Certamen
It was errand and appointment day yesterday, (N MN) so ended up running in to Menards for a couple things, the meat store, and to the local/regional grocery store at the four corners on my way home.
Gas was up to $3.15/gallon, but filled up anyway. It's leaf-peeping season, grouse, turkey, bear, archery deer and late fishing season, so we aren't gonna see a break anytime soon. Thanks(!) Joe Biden.
Menards usually is a great source of household cleaning supplies - cheap and plentiful, but they were obviously front-facing the shelves, and not successfully covering a bunch of empty spots. Oh well.."adapt and overcome" are words to live by.
The grocery store was top-notch as usual. These guys do their best to keep everything fresh and well stocked. We are VERY fortunate in this neighborhood. Again, as I said last time, local produce is on the floor in abundance - winter squash, pumpkin, cabbages, carrots, potatoes, and apples. This is the time to grab it at a good price, very fresh, and ready to preserve if you don't grow your own. Meat was in good shape, except, what's up with Oscar Meyer lunch meat? I'm an olive loaf junkie, and the packaged lunch meat (pure garbage I know, but...) is hardly even there anymore. Bologna and sausage, but not even much of that, and at stupid prices, too.
They had T-bones on sale for 8.98/lb. so was planning to scope them out, ALSO, I know if I time my trip right, when they have good steaks on sale, (this store cuts up it's beef and pork sides ON-site) the butchers will slip a few packages of those precious Porterhouse cuts in the case ...CHEAP. Haha..I lucked out again and got two big packages of freshly minted Porterhouse for $9.29/lb. Beautiful stuff...I did part of one on the grill for breakfast this morning, and they are like eating melted butter.
The meat store down at the whistle-stop had good pork sales this week...prime rib pork roasts - 1.69/lb, my beloved Montreal Chops - 2.49/lb, their hand-smoked-on-site custom bacon - 4.99/lb, bulk breakfast or Italian sausage - 1.99/lb, 10# bags of 1/2 pork, 1/2 beef burger (GREAT for chili or hotdish) - 2.99/lb, Porketta roasts - 2.99/lb, and for beef offerings, rump roast, 3.99/lb, and New York Strip, 9.99/lb.

Day by day
Just a somewhat related heads up, I'll probably put this in several threads because it can fit in a few places.
I was out and about to several different feed stores in the last few days, a few local and a few TSCs. I talked to more than a few folks in the poultry areas while I was getting some feed. They were shopping for feeders/waterers (which are in short supply), and other basic supplies for poultry.
All are planning to get chicks in the spring and are getting ready. All mentioned the rising food prices and increasing unavailability, and are concerned it will get worse. Some haven't had chickens in years but still have their hen houses up and have been using them for garden storage, etc. Some haven't had chickens before. Some are planning to add to their current flocks. Some are planning to free range to help cut feed costs, many are planning on using their chickens to help fertilize their gardens, etc. All are planning on doing it for eggs and meat; that's a bit of a change, many just do eggs around here.
If anyone is thinking about ordering chicks in the spring, of any type, probably shouldn't wait too long. If you need any poultry raising supplies, don't wait long for that because it could be a bit of a hunt. I needed a new waterer, and I got the last one....and it was $10-$15 more than I paid a year or so ago.

I told my DH that I'm going to have to shop around more and not just at Kroger. Prices have really jumped! I do follow Kroger Krazy, so I do find some good deals there, but overall, our grocery bill has doubled.

I've never been able to shop at our local Kroger. By far, it is the most expensive grocery store in town.

Went back into Aldi this morning since their weekly ad came out. Got there 1 hour after they opened and the roast they have on sale for $4.99 a pound was already gone. The store didn't look any better today after the truck than it did yesterday. I asked the guy checking me out about the roast and he said they just aren't getting stuff like they should.
Gas/diesel went up this morning. Both went up 10 cents a gal. $2.99 for gas and $3.29 for diesel.
Glenn Beck talking bout inflation this morning and someone suggested that prices would go up 20%-30% over the next 5 years. I feel sick.....

I use Kroger for produce mainly, but occasionally I will buy all my groceries there. We either raise our own meat or buy from a local butcher. I often buy canned goods online from Target, Walmart, and Amazon.

Yup...20-30% in 5 years would be about best case scenario....Are you sure he said YEARS and not MONTHS?
And given grain prices have doubled, fertilizer prices may be *triple* by spring, fuel is nearly double from the Trump years... I think that's about as optimistic (and unrealistic) as it gets...

That B & M bread we were all talking about is now $50 and some change for 12 cans over at Amazon.

So it's a fully cooked turkey from the looks of things, from a WM seller, not WM directly.

And I followed the links you provided and that's correct, as far as it goes, but these are all artisan/organic turkeys. Walmart still offers conventional turkeys, all at prices under $20. However, they're all out of stock.
My wife says HEB has a Riverside turkey for $1.32 a pound, but that's the only brand HEB has available.
I agree that turkeys are going to be an issue this Thanksgiving. However, my wife and I had a meatloaf last Thanksgiving, and it was excellent.

Most of them in my area on Walmart App are $1.89/lb.
Although, this out of stock Turkey is probably an error:

$1,922.99 avg price
$159.32/lb

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Shrinking products and rising prices. From cereal to soap, paper towels to pretzels, you might have noticed you’re not getting as much as you used to at the grocery store.
Consumer blogs pointed WCCO to products like oatmeal packets of 10 cut to eight for some varieties, tuna cans from seven to five ounces, and some family size cereals slimming down from 19.3 ounces to 18.8 ounces, all evidence of what’s known as shrinkflation.

Last Thanksgiving, I got a large pork loin roast and roasted it. I served it with cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, a pan of frozen dressing that I got in the freezer section of the grocery store, and ready made pumpkin pie with cool whip for dessert.
The pork loin roast was an excellent replacement for roast turkey, especially given that I was only cooking for two. The pork loin roast was large, so there were plenty of the traditional leftovers, yet it was easy to prepare, easy to slice (with an electric knife), and really hit the spot.
