I've posted before about not being able to find the mainstream - and cheaper - gluten free bread products.
I contacted the Glutino company about it, and the response came from Conagra. Aah - lightbulb moment. Here are the food manufacturers that full under the Conagra umbrella: https://www.conagrabrands.com/brands A lot of facilities have been halting production because of COVID infections among the employees. So it makes sense that so many brands are off the shelves for now. |

Butter has been OK here except for right at the beginning, but I've noticed that the aisle of "baking stuff" is still badly depleted. People are cooking/baking at home much more than usual, both because they're not eating out and because some have time to spare, and I can imagine they're using a lot more butter.

The big supermarket in my area has most things in stock. When this pandemic first started, they raised the price of eggs and were limiting them. Last week, I noticed that they have removed the restriction on amount and have lower the prices back to normal.
Their sales have not been as good as before the pandemic. I like to keep a particular low-calorie frozen pizza on hand for times that I am too busy to cook. This brand was always on sale for about $3/each. It's now on sale for $4.45. The small town Piggly Wiggly sells it for $7. The small town store has a lot of shortages. Their prices have always been ridiculously high so I am not sure if it worse than normal. We usually just drive once a week to the big supermarket. Better prices and better selection. More people wear masks and keep their distance better at the big supermarket, too. The big supermarket finally have yeast back in stock. They still don't have Clorox wipes or Maesri Thai red curry paste (but they have green, panang, etc.). I have been able to find everything else. |

I started making my own using this recipe: https://www.mexicoinmykitchen.com/fl...las-de-harina/ I discovered that the dough is easier to roll out after it's been resting for quite a while. |
