What shortages do you notice in the shops?

[PostLockdownLife]

I can't remember where I bought a glass bottle of Coca Cola Yalang Yalang a while ago, I now can't find it anywhere.

Americans are apparently experiencing a shortage of chicken.

Are shortages sorted now, are we still in 'Feed the nation' mode?

X Box X. This constitutes a crisis chez Lego as DS age 15's 5 year old x box finally packed in this week - he is bereft! Doesn't want the S series as would have to buy all the games again...if anyone knows of a stockist please pm me

Our cat only eats the Tesco pouches too. We always make sure we have a spare unopened box of 40 in the garage when they helpfully remove it from my delivery order

@MostlyHappyMummy

Mostly asda and Tesco and occasionally Coop
All 3 are either low or empty for felix
Weird

@MostlyHappyMummy

Getting it delivered is wonderful!
I buy the boxes of 40, usually c £10, and try to keep at least half a dozen in - I have 3 cats, one box lasts up to 2 weeks - so I (& they ) never have to panic!

I can't seem to get Alpro Soya ice cream for my dairy allergic child due to supply issues I was told.

Loads of DIY stuff - 6" wood screws for example.

B&Q seem very short of blinds - nothing colourful. just miserable dull neutrals

Worldwide shortage of steel

A carpenter told me even last summer, that timber[or some sorts[cant remember which] was in short supply.

where do you shop for cat food? I get mine from ocado or online pet food shops. No shortages not even on local tesco

[MostlyHappyMummy]

Thank you @giantkitten
The cats are troubled by how empty the cat food cupboard is!!

[Glittertwins]

Costco had big tubs of marmite

[JustPinchanInch]

Oyster sauce and garden furniture

@yumscrumfatbum I wonder if a shortage of calor gas has been down to people buying this for outdoor heaters

[shinynewapple21]

I don't know if this has been resolved now but DS planned to buy himself a PS5 before Christmas so for his present we bought him a gift card for downloading some games and a controller . As of a couple of weeks ago when DS/DH last discussed this they were still not in stock .

@MostlyHappyMummy

@MostlyHappyMummy

Pick & Mix in Woolworths. Not been able to get that.

😂🤣😂

If you manage to find an elusive Woolworths hidden in the depths of time..... let me know, I miss that shop!!

[Oversize]

Fencing and sheds

Dried mango (mainly from Sains). It's just disappeared.

[FIFIBEBE]

Windows and doors, I have a new finished kitchen with window openings blocked with plywood. The sizes were bespoke so I can't find them elsewhere, may arrive by September.

[JingsMahBucket]

It took me four different stores before I found green split peas. That really alarmed OH and even he said something must be wrong with the supply chain if we can’t find a basic item like that in the UK.

[Arghmyhip]

None

@yumscrumfatbum

Wierdly at the moment you can't buy calor gas cannisters. We need one for our camper van preferably two so we can carry a spare. You can buy a full one if you exchange an empty one.

Try scrap yards for one....seriously. It’s what I did last week when I needed a bigger tank for a new gas torch. It was recommended by our local calor gas supplier.

The scrap yard had dozens!

[midsomermurderess]

LadyEloise, that is implicit in the question.
