@~Christina, I do remember there being some meat shortages in New Jersey, before I moved to Europe. But only really many many months ago. I honestly don't know what the current situation is there. My sister hasn't mentioned anything about any. I don't think there have been any major shortages where I am in Europe. Sometimes the variety of berries are limited. Even in the hypermarkets the choices are often few. For a while we were going to the next town over and buying them from a farm stand. There they had wonderful choices, but then again they were in season at the time. There tends to be a lot of native fruit where I am. One could literally just go for a walk in the countryside and find all the plums, as an example, that one would want. Apples, too. That could change soon, though. I also notice more exotic fruit sometimes being available, and yet bananas, of all things, are sometimes sold out at our online grocer. Yet they have other exotic fruit (such as dragon fruit) always available. CZ has a large Vietnamese population, so they stock that stuff here.
