    Well,, that has not been in a store for easily 4-5 months, or longer,, not even Walmart,,

    In Food Lion Grocery Store, they even eliminated the spot that had been empty for months,, so, there is not even a spot for it, if they did get some in,,,

    The store manager told me they eliminated the spot, so people would hopefully quit asking about it,,

    Tractor Supply sells a card of assorted small batteries for $4.99 including 2032s if I’m not mistaken. The quantity is generous. Not sure I would use them for important weapons sights but they’re a cheap source for my digital calipers that eat batteries like candy.

    Mason Jars have been pretty much sold out since mid summer 2020. Jars, lids, rings...couldn't get all my hot peppers canned last year.

    Geez! Even Easy Cheese is gone from store shelves? What a shame. I'm very lucky to have Tillamook as a High Quality cheese brand available in the northwest for general use, but sometimes you just gotta have some saltines and best fake cheese from a can!

    Cheez Whiz meets all but one of the Minimum Daily Adult Nutritional Requirements. That’s where bacon fits in.

    It seems like more of a demand problem in my area. Everything appears to be shipping but as soon as it gets here it's gobbled up. The only really unusual item I couldn't get was cold blue. Three different gun shops and none to be had, and I thought everybody hated that stuff! I think it was probably not a high-volume product and the retailers just stopped stocking to make room for other merchandise.

    No 2032 batteries at Costco. They were wiped out of them. That went fast. Glad I grabbed a couple of packs the last time.

    Most red dot pistol sights use those.

    Yeah, when you have no pistol or semiautomatic sporting rifle, you'll have no need for those batteries!

    When I had a Red Dot I bought too many 2032s on amazon cheap, because it was way too many and stashed them everywhere. The scope is gone but the batteries persist.

    The way gasoline prices are going up I think he’s trying to get everyone ready for his “Electric Vehicles Mandate”. He already said by 2030 all government vehicles will be electric. How many miles is a 2032 battery good for?

    gas prices can't be set or raised or lowered by American politicians.
    gas prices are based on supply and demand in the global market. OPEC still has a bunch of ways to put their fingers on the scale,
    global oil prices bottomed out when covid shut the world down, lack of demand and huge supplies, now the world is coming back alive and the supply and production has changed as demand is increasing. increasing demand+lack of surplus=higher prices.
    does any of this make any senses or do I need to go to one of those crazy house doctors for some special medications.
