00:00Your local supermarket may seem stacked to the rafters, but the truth is some goods and items are getting harder
00:06to find as a result of the fading pandemic.
00:09Yes, COVID doesn't seem to have as much of a grip on society as it did a year or two
00:14ago, but the repercussions are still ongoing.
00:17According to the White House, the situation has been especially difficult for businesses with complex supply chains,
00:24as their production is vulnerable to disruption due to shortages of inputs from other businesses.
00:30Money Talks News reports that vegetable oil, chickpeas, eggs, and pet food are among the items that have slowed down
00:36in their production during the time of the pandemic,
00:39but most chances are you'll be able to find a variation or a different brand of the same product.
00:46More alarmingly, some children's medications containing ibuprofen and acetaminophen seem to be harder to find,
00:53and some specific prescription drugs like Adderall and Ritalin, which treat ADD and ADHD, seem to be in short supply.
01:02But hey, short supply used to be my nickname in middle school, and I grew up to be a whopping
01:075'10",
01:08so we may need to be a little more diligent about our shopping right now, but as the old adage
01:14goes,
01:14this too shall pass.
