2020-07-01Supply and Demand: The strange things that now cost a small fortune
With everyone trying to maintain social distancing to prevent the transmission of covid-19 during the heat of summer one thing has become very expensive, swimming pools. While inflatable back yard kiddie pools like the one pictured usually cost about $25 this one, and numerous others that look the same, are going for five times that on Amazon. Getting a pool isn't only extremely expensive in the inflatable variety, the same is true for larger above ground and inground pools. Our neighbor ordered an above ground pool back in late April or early May. The company delayed shipping for weeks and finally canceled the order because they couldn't fill it. At my house we decided to have an inground pool built. Though we started the process in early May the pool isn't scheduled to be finished until early October because the demand for pools to be built is enormous. Our builder told us they usually get about 120 inquires per month and in May they received over 600. -

2020-03-20Limits on High Demand Products
This hand-made sign lists items that, due to their high demand, have a limit on how many items customers can buy when they are in stock. This sign highlights the continued scarcity of certain necessities such as toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer, and surgical face masks among other items. Even over halfway through March, these products are still in high demand and the shelves are often empty, forcing management of CVS to limit what each customer can buy to ensure as many people obtain the items they need.
