And so it begins at the grocery store

The produce section was severely depleted this morning at my local Harris Teeter in Durham, NC. No broccoli, except for two bunches of Organic @$ 3.99 each; no Romaine lettuce and very little packaged lettuce; no asparagus.
I bought a couple of 12 roll packs of house brand TP @$6.99 each, which are $3.00/ pack--almost 50%--higher than the price on sale a year ago.
Eggs are still $4.29 for 12 large house brand, which they have been for weeks.
