I even saw yeast in the grocery stores yesterday. Products that are still lacking are certain brands of beer and wine, some seafood, ground beef and steaks and some non COVID related cleaning products. Hand santizer is plentiful enough but expensive as hell.
I noticed how expensive hand sanitizer was too. I was going to grab some, but I was like, "whaaaat $10 for a small bottle? No thanks!" LOL
I'm interested to see how the outbreak on the farms in the southern counties are going to affect produce distribution and pricing.
We found some at Walmart for $4.99 500 ml bottle at one per customer. We picked up three over the course of a week and filled our tiny bottles that we have in the two cars.

We are going to pay and pay and pay in the coming year or so.
I'll have to check Walmart whenever I get there again. I want to buy slowly so that I have a good supply on hand for when the kids go back to school.
I try to grow as much food as we can when we can, but we can't grow all year round without some space and equipment. I'd consider it if we didn't rent.

Do you have CVS and/or Walgreens in Canada? If so, both of those seem to be stocked up with hand sanitizer. A 10 oz bottle is $2.99.

The stores here have all caught back up to their normal levels of everything.
Same here, except Walmart. They're still having trouble keeping some things stocked like dairy, they were basically cleaned right out, but I think that's due to Instacart gaining popularity. Every other store has been fine. I've even seen really good stocks of bleach and hand sanitizer.

To my knowledge we don't have either of those two here in Canada, but having traveled many times in the U.S., we do have our equivalents. Once the market gets flooded, which will probably be soon, the prices will come back down for all COVID-19 related high demand items.
