  1. I noticed yesterday while doing my grocery shopping at my local WINCO that a sign prominently displayed by the front door that read that sale of baby formula was limited to 3 cans per customer. At least they have some baby formula but how long will it last even at 3 cans per customer? This is ridiculous, there shouldn’t be a shortage of any food item (or anything else for that matter) at all. I’m glad I don’t have small children anymore, my 10-month-old grandson might still need some for a least a little while more. I’ll have to ask my son if he’s having any problem with getting enough formula for his son Holden.

  2. BS, they have multiple plants that make baby formula, Pedialyte, and adult supplemental drinks like Ensure under their label or a subsidiary like Ross Labs.

  3. “…which was closed last month due to heavy rains…”

    It’ll probably burn to the ground next month.

    Seems to be a lot of that going around, though you wouldn’t know it by following the journos.
