We really screwed up immigration and Covid and now things are coming home to roost.

There will be if you keep saying there will be!

Don't hoard.

Look for prices to continue to be inflationary. My experience is with the poultry industry several hours away from DC. There is no shortage of farmers willing to raise the baby chicks into mature chickens. There is no shortage of chicken being raised. The shortages are in the following labor categories: CDL drivers to transport the mature chickens to the chicken processing plants. "Packers" to pack the mature chickens into trucks for transport to the chicken processing plants. Finally, chicken processing factory workers. Back in the 80's it was not uncommon for white middle aged ladies to do this work. White middle aged ladies and African Americans no longer want to work in chicken processing plants. Typically it is Haitian workers living in lower Delaware, the eastern shore of Maryland and the eastern shore of Virginia who work in the poultry plants now. There is a shortage of Haitian workers.

Yes, food prices are going up. I am not worried about food though because I am a good cook (from scratch) as well as I have the set up at home to store food.

This is a very elitist statement, grocery tans across the board have gone up significantly due to inflation. The price of butter, oil, sugar, spices and produce have sky rocketed and the impact on families will not be ameliorated by simply cooking from scratch (which by the way most families are already doing).

Grocery stores are hiring - get a part time job at one for a discount if you're that impacted.

This comment wasn’t clever enough to post in one thread, let alone two.

It's not meant to be clever, it's meant to be serious. But I suspect most of the women complaining are SAHM's who really aren't that affected by "skyrocketing" grocery prices and just want something else to complain about.

I’ve been buying an extra box of pasta and I got meat at Costco to freeze.

I think I'm going to rent a cow for the year. Getting hard to find milk in the grocery store.

Already seeing hard to get groceries.

Start planning to substitute.

I think there will continue to be rolling shortages of certain food certain weeks. As long as you are flexible and willing to branch out where you shop, it will be fine. Right now the giant near us has had lots of empty shelves but a neighboring store is fine. There may be weeks where a certain kind of food is not anywhere. But there will be food.

There's a labor shortage in the entire chain - from pickers, to packers, to warehouse workers, to truck drivers, to store employees. People don't want to be paid crap to do hard jobs anymore, while not getting sick leave and then get covid.

I think we can expect to see grocery prices continue to go up.

Due to supply chain issues? How concerned should we be?
