Went grocery shopping today. Yes there are shortages now here, too.
Went to Aldi.
Absolutely no eggs.
No lemons.
Milk has gone up in pricing.
Some of these big basket carts where they put their weekly non food offers were missing (sth I’ve never seen at Aldi before, usually they just spread out the stuff they have left to not have any empty baskets).
