Has anyone else noticed that stores do not stock as much items as they use say 4 years ago? Since mid 2019-ish the stock in stores has decreased, and it takes longer to get items that you now have to order.
Or if you do have order something from a store it now takes for ever to those items, or the store just doesn't call you that the item has come in, or is no longer available. The communication as well as the stock just isn't there anymore.
Just something to ponder, our supply chain, and the local store's stock are not going back to being plentiful folks, so if you hand craft items, are a handyman and do repairs, and so forth... keep a habit of replacing things that you use frequently, and to keep a little stock of items that you do use, so you have those certain items to tie you over while you are waiting for ordered items to come in.
I really do not see this issue getting any better, but I see it getting worse.
Another thing, is the prices of items keep going up, may items have doubled in cost, so if you can stock up some items that you can afford to, and you use those items... it is best to get those items when you see them, to keep a little bit of a stock on them.
Americans should not have to live like this, but there seems to be some kind of global nefarious stuff going on with our supply chain and the availability of goods, foods, etc., and not enough Americans seem to even notice or acknowledge this.
Just something to ponder and prepare for.
