What shortages are in your area?

I mentioned some days back that Fairlife Protein shakes were hard to find. Scratch that, they are now impossible to source locally. EVERYONE is out.

have you tried Sams Club?

Common sense

For those of you not finding your preferred pet food, maybe try chewy dot com? A frugal friend of mine said it's the most reasonable online option.

Yep. They are my usual source. Nada, nothing, no where to be found.

@Bigrig check out Amazon for Fairlife shakes. Don’t know how the price compares to Sams Club or BJs.

The only people selling on Amazon are the ones who are also third-party resellers on Walmart. 2-3x the retail price, and typically they just drop-ship from the regular sites. So if you order from them now they will likely just hold the money and try to wait until supplies return.

Water - major drought here in California.

Kind of strange, actually. It's like oh good they have it online.... then after you order an item, you get a notice telling you that it's not available anymore.

I'm also noticing that the Costco appears to be filling the shelves with what they have instead of having an open spot where something is getting tough to come by. A lot of the stretching of a particular product instead of having a variety.

As a state, huge challenges. Understand there are 2 Desal plants almost proof of concept?

Strangely enough I decided to look up the value of the car I bought a few years ago, its actually not depreciated in price at all, I was shocked (I've had it for 4 years). The down side its a '2.0 TD' so the fuel is getting expensive to run.

California State Water Board is Manufacturing a Drought by Draining Reservoirs into the Ocean

Excerpts: “In the last 14 days, 90% of Delta inflow went to sea. It’s equal to a year’s supply of water for 1 million people

Despite California nearing drought, reservoir near San Jose ordered to be drained. Here's why.

Federal regulators have mandated that a water reservoir in Silicon Valley be drained because its dam may fail in an earthquake; local officials balk.

Some interesting articles @Santa's little helper re: California.

I saw on the news that baby formula is running short! Why, I do not know.

Product recalls due to possible bacterial contamination combined with raw material supply issues.

Something about intake pipe issues as well Bigrig, best way to filter the water without upsetting the related eco-system.
Potentially a new growth industry and investment opportunity.
