Like you Les. I was at Costco today as well, and experienced a similar situation. Granted we are expected to get snow here on Sunday, and as a result everyone panics and tries to stock up, but the empty spaces were noticeable. Canned veggies were going like crazy, and it was impossible to find staples such as crushed canned tomatoes (which were always stacked to the max, even during the height of the COVID mess), plain peanuts, and some of our favorite fruits.
That said, the wine and beer aisles were bursting at the seams. As was the inventory in the baked goods section -- lots of bread, cakes, bagels, and other goodies.
