Most pain and fever meds are limited in number you are allowed to purchase..some places have put them under lock and key. And it is not just meds. At the market what they do have is priced so hight it is almost impossible to buy. Come on, Bacon at almost 28 bucks a pound?

I had bronchitis in Oct. – Nov. and I had a hard time finding cough syrup; same thing with my sister this month. <br />Ugh, another round of Covid with a new, more contagious variant called the Kraken. <br />Hoping you got your pipe fixed at the Farm. At least it warmed up today. <br />It turned into a nice, sunny day, so you’ll have nice weather to enjoy your porch time out there. <br />What goodies is 2nd Man going to make with the cookbooks left at the Farm? <br />Texas Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547037404676565726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-75425854991289480822023-01-14T15:47:39.832-06:002023-01-14T15:47:39.832-06:00I wonder if the wild weather in CA has affected th...I wonder if the wild weather in CA has affected the already stretched supply chain.Practical Parsimonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419071209412207674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-55733078677561515282023-01-14T14:20:01.167-06:002023-01-14T14:20:01.167-06:00More and more children are coming down with colds ...<br />More and more children are coming down with colds and flue and some parents are finding it hard to find over the counter meds for their children. If ordering on line; limit 6 from Walgreens.<br />Many people are home sick for the holidays as a triple threat of viruses continues to spread. RSV, the flu and COVID-19 are infecting people across the country and in the Carolinas. <br />According to the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, last month, the so-called "tripledemic" led to a 65% increase in sales of pediatric pain and fever medicine compared to last November. <br />https://www.boston.com/news/the-boston-globe/2023/01/05/children-kids-tylenol-ibuprofen-shortage/Colleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-83784216504668137972023-01-14T14:00:07.481-06:002023-01-14T14:00:07.481-06:00I'm an assistant manager in a small grocery st...I'm an assistant manager in a small grocery store and there's no pattern to what we can get and what we get shorted. We don't even know why most of the time. As far as the medicine aisle, I think it's a combination of all three things.

Meat, vegetables, fruit, you name it. Luckily, they had everything we were wanting except for the local bacon but it is a bit unnerving to see the store like that.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808093713899800649noreply@blogger.com
