Besides guns, ammo, and TP, what else have you guys not been able to find in stock. For me? I know it is not essential, but I haven't been able to find Pibb Xtra on shelves since April. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...99f1fcd2e1.jpg

Paid Home Depot for a Frigidaire Freezer, listed as "In Stock", delivery promised on Sept. 24.
No call, no show. When I called and finally got a manager, the answer was it must have been damaged on the truck.
Next scheduled delivery, promising it would come, Oct 7.
Uh, no show again.
Supposed to be here on Oct 17 now.
Absolutely, without fail.
Okay
Rubbing alcohol. Finally ordered some online.
For awhile, you couldn't find hydrogen peroxide very easily either. Has popped up here and there at Wally World and King's.
Albuterol is being rationed at military hospitals. It is an inhaler for breathing problems. I saw cheap sliced bread shelf in local Walmart was bare around 1st of month. Mask prices are outrageous, but plentiful now. I figure second wave is coming, since that is the reports from western Europe. Supposedly 75% of Utah ICU beds are occupied with COVID-19. I would recommend stocking up on benadryl, tylenol & iburofen before winter hits with snow. I went through 40 bottles of cough syrup since Feb.
Canning jars are hard to find at the store.
Regular powder type dishwasher detergent at least at sams.
Wife likes Ruffles All Dressed Potato Chips, hasn't been able to find any since March.
Anyone looking for isopropyl go to a farm supply store they have it by the Gallon
Liquid hand soap seems to come and go in cycles. It was very hard to find March-May.

Good looking single women interested in old poor guys, haven't found one in years.

Not really a shortage, but lumber is insanely priced... 2-4x depending on wood product.
Appliances were already mentioned.
"hobby" level solar components. Commercial level is still around, but higher priced.
Good quality (largely organic) flour and sugar were nearly impossible to find.
All American Pressure Canners (got offered $600 cash for mine)
Common sense is in seriously short supply. Haven’t seen it this scarce since the Carter Administration.
I was going to post common sense. Also, respect for your fellow man, common decency, politeness, rule of law, etc. It's really a shit show and amazing to see.Quote:

Thank your lucky star that you couldn't get LG. After the disastrously mess of warranty repair that I am still in the middle of with LG, I will NEVER buy another LG appliance again. Our LG fridge picked a bad time to quit with the appliance shortage, getting ours repaired was the best option, but LG couldn't seem to get their "authorization letter" sent to MR. Appliance so that they could even order the parts. After 6 weeks of empty promises from LG, I finally told Mr. Appliance to come fix it. Now I'm going on a month waiting for LG to refund us for the parts that were covered under warranty. A fickin' mess....LG NO MORE!!!Quote:

That and a shortage of freedom.Quote:

They replace the parts under warranty but the repair was going to cost me $600 in labor with no assurance it wouldn't happen again. Bought a Whirlpool fridge instead for $1200 that was made here in the US and we couldn't be happier.Quote:

The walmart by me is always sold out of ramen. Then again, I live in Brighton so that may just be the way things are here.
For a while, it was Seagrams Ginger Ale, although they appear to be bottling it again. The story I heard was that between people now being at home all the time and limited ability to source cans, Coke was experiencing a lot of difficulty keeping Coke, Cherry Coke, and Diet Coke going out the door, so they suspended some of their less popular products for a while. But now I have seen Seagrams and Mr. Pibb back on the shelves at the local King Sooper, so maybe that is over. For a while, I couldn't get soy sauce, but that appears to be back as well.
The one thing I haven't really been able to get a hold of is paper towels. I suspect that is more of a product of my doing grocery shopping on Sunday night then general availability though.
I hear there's a national shortage of coins.
Fact check: Yes, there's a national coin shortage. Here's why
I sell wholesale electrical supplies to contractors. We're seeing shortages of very odd things.
Electrical PVC conduit...VERY hard to get in larger sizes. Almost impossible to get in significant qty. And the price has tripled.
Many types of circuit breakers. Fuses. Some brands of plastic junction boxes. Meter sockets.
We're seeing significant shortages in many categories.

Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner. Sam's, Costco: sold out. I got the last 4 cans Walmart in Lakewood had (ordered 6, they cancelled 2)...
See. I bet if we had a ?like? button you would be feeling rather proud of how smart and witty you are.Quote:

I suspect someone comes along and buys 2 or 3 of a thing and other people see them and assume "OMG that's the next thing to have a shortage" and they buy the whole display out.
Meat is also usually pretty sparse.
Oh, and I know this is generally non-gun items in this thread, but it looks like all of the sudden 30-30 has become as expensive as .50BMG (at least on ammoseek.com) That seems weird to me.
That is about the lamest "fact check" I have seen. "We have determined the coin shortage is true cause we talked with a few people who also heard there was a shortage and we saw some signs posted about it, so it must be true".Quote:

I still think there is something else driving it. Guess I will have to wait and see.
Its the same here in the Springs. Can't find Ramen at Wal-Mart or King Soopers near me. My teenager may starve :-)Quote:

The Arby's at Kipling and 470 has a sign at the drive-thru window that requests exact change or credit card.Quote:
