Interesting observation JJ. I’ve noticed as well, even at our local Walmarts (not that I patronize them of course <clears throat>…heard it from a guy). Seems to have been going on here for a couple-three years now anyway. Seems like it started with a sudden and drastic reduction in variety, followed shortly by a reduction in quantity.
Still not sure what to make of all that at the moment, but doesn’t set right in the gut.
