Subject: Why are there still product shortages happening?
Deli lunch meat is impossible to get a giant like boar's head classic chicken has been "out of stock" for weeks. I'm told they haven't been delivering to giant.

You’re deliberately choosing an expensive product. It’s like buying a necklace from
Cartier and complaining about the cost.
You could not be more uninformed and wrong about this. Sensodyne is the only toothpaste brand that does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), which is a leading cause of canker sores. My flare ups have drastically reduced since switching to this brand 3 years ago. Again, this brand of toothpaste used to cost no more than $5, and now costs over $9. It has only increased to guys amount in the past few months, so something is definitely up.
Target and Amazon have 3-packs for $17.49 . Learn to shop wisely.

Why are you buying your tooth paste at the grocery store? Toiletries are ALWAYS overpriced at grocery stores. Get thee to a drugstore, a warehouse store, or something like Walmart/Target.

I can't find Philly-Gourmet 100% angus Beef Patties anywhere. Giant supposed to have them but they don't they said they ordered them but they're not on the shelf company itself is unhelpful.

Because it’s discontinued.

Romaine lettuce or other salad - I can get it but about half of the time the lettuce shelves are completely empty of any kinds except some super expensive already expired organic bagged variety. This is happening at more than one grocery store.

We bought a home distiller for water, when we moved to the DC area I couldn't reliably find distilled water during the winter for humidifiers.
Unless it's a particular product we need, I just buy an alternative or make something else and move on.
Lol lol 😂 buying and setting up a home distillery sounds like an easy fast fix to move on hlmao.
My 80 year old mom bought a home distillery to ensure they had distilled water. It is just an appliance that sits on the counter.

And this is why shortages continue. We have all lived through a long shortage of things we need. So when we have trouble finding things, the next time we buy extras. When we all do this, it causes a shortage (not blaming you. I do the same thing).

Such a smug post but hilarious none the less. Set's up an entire "home distillery" then says, "I just buy an alternative or make something else and move on." Lol that sounds like what you did here PP.
You do realize that a home water distiller is not the same as a distillery… right?
+1 There are machines that distill water. We had them when we lived overseas, to make the water potable.

Surely the cream cheese makers know this based on past years, and could have ramped up production?
I don’t think it’s 100% on the manufacturers. I know the grocery stores like to blame the manufacturers and they put up their little “due to shortages ….” Signs where the cream cheese should be. But I don’t think they order enough to keep up with demand.
I complained so much about almond milk being out of stock at Giant - the regular, non-flavored almond milk - on every store survey that they started putting up signs about “shortages” in the almond milk section. But I truly believe it was on Giant for not ordering correctly. Because the flavored almond milk was always in stock, and Wegmans would have regular almond milk in stock too, but Giant was always out of it.
I have NOT noticed the unflavored almond milk being out of stock, but I shop at Harris teeter and Wegman’s.
