Lactose free Yoplait yogurt.

I'm lactose intolerant, and the Yoplait lactose free yogurt provides a better medicinal anti-lactose benefit than any other product I've tried. Those chewable lactaid tablets don't do diddly for me.

I love cheese, love dairy, love real ice cream. They don't love me. But if I eat a Yoplait lactose free yogurt first and then don't over indulge, I'm fine.

There is none to be had around me. I tried multiple grocery stores. Nada. Went to Yoplait's Faceplant page and noticed other people asking them if they had stopped making it. They said no, and gave a link that allegedly tells you what stores have it in stock. Yeah, that's not working either because their link will say X store has it...but X store will tell me they don't.

It's been a few months of this and I'm missing my dairy products. I found one supply a few weeks ago and have been rationing them, because I haven't been able to find any since. It's getting hot out there and I miss being able to eat my real ice cream! LOL.

I don't know what your lactose intolerance causes. For me, without mentioning my own personal reaction to milk products and not wanting to make a big stink about it (hint, hint), I find that Lactaid pills reduce consequences for me by maybe 75% or more, enough to make it something I can deal with and still enjoy regular yogurt and cheese as I wish.

Things hard to get - new cars, I'm looking for one. I think the problem goes all the way back to what the auto companies have to deal with and for many it's a shortage of semiconductor and other electronic components.

Lactaid milk has been in short supply here -- the whole section of the cold case, empty. Our Costco started carrying the larger containers of 2%, but even they have been out on occasion recently.

Kraft has a line of pre-shredded cheese that is 0 lactose; most aged cheese (cheddars, Finlandia swiss) are lactose-free.

And yes, I noticed the paper thing. Bought the last ream on the shelf recently, it was heavier weight than I'd normally pick, but that was it.

POTATOES! And it's worldwide 😭

With regard to Lactaid chewable tablets and "lactose-free" products, I once called one of the milk companies proclaiming their product to be "lactose-free" because DH had issues with them. It was explained to me that they dump a bunch of Lactaid into their products and proclaim them to be "lactose-free". The Lactaid tablets do not help my DH in the least bit.

I wish the Lactaid tablets or chewables worked for me, but they don't. Yoplait lactose-free yogurt does though. It's funny, I don't even actually like it as yogurt, way too sweet. I just use it as a way to mitigate the good stuff with lactose that follows .

Cheddar is lactose free but there are so many other good cheeses that aren't. Plus real ice cream! Or anything with butter...not good. But sooo good, until it's not.

I don't drink liquid milk, for me it's only cheese and yogurt. Maybe that makes a difference?

Rob, we have potatoes, but boy are they ever lousy. We've got potato growers here in Ontario and PEI is a huge grower. I like yellows, they're my preferred, but they're terrible. The whites often have black spots in the flesh, not nice either.

Pudding. Cook and serve butterscotch, lemon and sometimes chocolate. We love it like a childhood throwback thing.

There are a bunch of items that we can't get. My brother who works at a grocery store says they can't get the items. One was the seasoning Garlic Plus - everyone was out including Amazon. Last week it was finally in the stores after a year. Another item is Grape Jelly, not even a store brand. Still can't get it. Lemon Essence/Flavouring is another item. There are more items but I can't think of them right now. Jasdip, potatoes here have been good.

Hmm, I just bought potatoes (organic Yukon Gold) at Trader Joe's today for potato salad over the weekend. I NEVER buy potatoes (as in maybe once every couple of years), but TJ's was well stocked. Actually, I did recently buy organic red potatoes for a potato salad a few weeks ago, but the menu changed and I didn't use them. They totally sprouted, so I guess I'll stick them in the ground and grow my own, just in case I want potatoes sometime in the future.
I wanted to buy semi-sweet chocolate chips while I was there, but the shelf was empty - only dark chocolate or unsweetened (eww). Not sure if that's a thing or just TJ's brand. A few other favorite things there are not in stock right now, but I think it's probably their suppliers and not a shortage with other brands.

I really can't think of anything that I can't get except for printed family pack napkins. All they have is boring white. Potatoes are plentiful and are usually on sale. My daughter did tell me today that the store where she shops didn't have Funyuns. I guess someone was having a big Funyun craving. lol

Ag-industrial water hoses. Needed three of a given length. Our usual source limits purchases to one. I did get that at least.

Everything mentioned is plentiful in stores in my town. (but then 3M is here and they make the tape!!!) It's not shortages it's distribution. I can't find toilet tablets I put in my tank to combat rust and lime build up. When I visit #2 daughters is SD their shelves are full of them. I bought a years' supply this past weekend. Seems silly but buy when you see it is my motto these days!

We have TONS of potatoes...and they keep going on sale...cheap! .59cents/5lbs

They put things on sale super cheap, then it causes a shortage for that one brand. Langers 64oz juice was $1.97....it sold out. The shelf's been empty for weeks now.

Appliance prices have shot up! The cheapest ones are sold out... expensive ones are easy to get. I saw a counter-depth LG French door frig, no ice or water on the door...$4699!

I noticed grape jelly wasn't on the shelf at my local market. Was going to pick up a jar for the birds. None on the shelf. Figured I could make jelly and it would probably be cheaper overall anyway. No grape juice in the freezer- I don't know if there is frozen grape juice, I usually don't check. And of the juice aisle, only one kind of just grape juice. A ton of blends and mixes, but only one kind of just grape. Made three pints of jelly, birds are thrilled. I hope we get a good crop of wild blackberries this year to feed to them next year :)

Concord grapes are having some problems. For the last few years the farmers have been losing share and pulling vines. And also, there is a lot of winery action being built up. So as the pandemic hit and there has been ongoing worker shortages, less fruit is getting picked for the processors. 2021 had a short harvest, and that is still playing out.

Pet food has been spotty to out in a lot of places. Processors are having difficulties getting the raw materials for food. Some have started doing some subsitutions- some pet owners have noticed their pets not being happy about it. Also, a majority of wet foods are canned up in aluminum, and there is still supply irregularities going on there.

Cherryfizz here are the potatoes I returned at Zehrs. Newly opened bag.

There are no shortages for me, aside from the car problem, which is an issue for me and several people in my family.

My grocery orders, including potatoes, are always complete.

Like Elizabeth, I miss cook and serve pudding. I thought they simply stopped making it. I could make it from scratch, but probably will not.

I bought a new MacBookPro out if concern over chip shortages (normally I would have waited another six months or more). Apple's delivery time on the one I wanted was pretty long, one month. I found what I wanted at Costco online and saved some money in the process (cheaper sticker price, plus rebate.) One of my children who watches chip manufacturing carefully says I need not have worried, Apple has its supply chain in hand.

This is the time of year the potatoes are hit and miss until the fall harvest. They can only be commercially stored so long without damage. I don't use potatoes that much in the summer and keep them in the fridge.

There are two kinds of crackers that I really like and I can't seem to find either one in any store. They are Keebler toasted sesame and Nabisco sociables.

Cinnamon graham crackers have been elusive lately. My favorite quick breakfast is (recalled) peanut butter on a cinnamon graham. At least the cat food seems to be back in stock better.

Y'all feel free to mail me those potatoes.

Fancy feast canned cat food which is the food of choice of my three cats. Scarce supply or non-existent. Flaked or grilled is all they eat. Some weeks no bagged dry food either but plenty of paper products now.

Two of my favorite sunscreens (different brands) can't be found anywhere. They were not part of last year's sunscreen recall either. IDK what the problem is, maybe a specific ingredient they can't get.

Rob, not sure where you live, but maybe our proximity to Idaho (and our state’s own potato growing region) is keeping us supplied.

Our 7-11 has been out of milk for days. MILK!!!

Awhile ago, maybe a month or more I went to Krogers to get some saltine crackers. They had one box, pushed all the way to the back of the nearly empty space on the shelf. I bought it. It was really odd.

Got to say Western and Eastern United States (using the Mississippi River) don't have the same climate. Glad y'all have your potatoes... but you're suffering drought. Which means you can't ship out potatoes, and it's only going to get worse. Dang.

We have the peaches! Hope it's a great peach season. et you know in a couple weeks, when I make peach ice cream. Or get a peach shake from Chick-fil-A.
