Gandtee Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 1 minute ago, Crossy said: Wasn't that last month? Yes. My wife complained that a couple of days before it began there was a shortage of vegetables on the shelves. She said the stores were holding them back to get a higher price nearer the day. Maybe the growers have had problems catching up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of growing land is under water. Truck drivers striking likely will not help. My Mrs still complaining on the vegetable prices and selection in the market.
