In the week ending November 7, retailers were running lower on stock of essential Thanksgiving items compared to the same time last year, according to IRI, a market research firm that tracks US retail sales. During that first week of November, whole bird frozen, fixed-weight turkeys were in stock at a rate of 64% on average across national retailers, IRI found. This time last year, that figure was around 86%. Availability of packaged pie was roughly 68% that week, compared to 78% in 2020.
Kleinfelter noted that"the production of our chocolate chips is strong and tracking with consumer demand."Cream cheese is another item that has been harder to find ahead of the holiday. Kraft Heinz has seen"unprecedented demand for Philadelphia Cream Cheese in the past year," said Jenna Thornton, a spokesperson for the company.
Plz change the name of your network to GOP b/c you spew BS. The only time I saw empty shelves was when COVID broke out under TFG. STOP IT!
I did not experience this 'scarcity' claim. I went to 3 stores today and all well stocked. No empty shelves but a lot of boxes in the aisles needing room on shelves.
You were saying. “Target TGT, -4.73% says inventory is up more than $2 billion compared with last year”.
Last year when trump was in office?
Are you a fox wanna be or something. Liberals have stopped watching cnn. Deliveries are being made again, and shelves in most if not all states have NEVER been empty.
So, last year, mid-pandemic surge + pre-vaccine, when we were being advised to limit travel + size of holiday gatherings, Thxgiving items weren’t coming off the shelves as robustly as they are this year? Wow. Earth-shattering findings.
🤡
Have not seen the empty shelves.
Yup, I just left the grocery store and yes, items are in short supply, some shelves 1/2 empty.
You might want to fact-check your 'market research firm' because I just bought a 20lb turkey for $10 in the single grocery store in relatively small town, and I didn't walk past a single empty shelf.
There are no empty shelves! Stop lying
Huh not in eastern Washington
Let’s go Brandon
You miss 45 so goddamn much don’t you
MattEganCNN Just the usual suspects running thin here: cream of mushroom soup,roaster pans,cranberry sauce. Nothing that doesn’t happen all the time.
Funny in Massachusetts not one grocery store that I shop at has any empty shelves or running low on stock essentials. Did steal this story from Fox News?
Reinforcing GOP talking points. CNN taking another step toward becoming FAUX News.
They literally say there will be turkeys in this story. The CNN I knew growing up is now just a clickbait factory. So sad what our news media has become.
Sensationalism does not become you.
What ru doing, CNN? This is simply not empirically true.
Where is this happening? We have piles of stuffing, cranberry sauce, frozen turkeys, dinner rolls, canned and frozen vegetables.
The stores are fine and making money. Stop it
I guess it's a good thing we're not doing Thanksgiving this year....spaghetti for dinner it is!
Just get something else
Where is this happening ? I live in the midwest and I'm not seeing these empty shelves that you guys keep breathlessly reporting on, and I shop at multiple grocery outlets. I have not seen a scintilla of evidence that this is a major impact to people's lives. Just stop.
Must be regional. No problems here.
A Thanksgiving without turkey? Oh thank goodness.
Been to several stores and have not seen this. Maybe all you're looking at is MILK.
I'm not denying there's a supply issue. Or claiming that CNN is blowing this out of proportion Just saying that the stores I shop in aren't experiencing problems.
I'm certainly not seeing this.
I have yet to not be able to get anything I need. I walked into Lowe’s last week and purchased a washer and dryer, got it that night. I am so tired of the media putting fear into people. My parents are convinced the shelves are bare out there!
Oh no! Where will I buy my 12 gallons of milk this week?
Uh..l am not noticing that at all. Also have you guys reported yet that the backlog at the ports has already dropped 30%? Narrative addiction is wild.
Compared to the same time in a year where people were avoiding traveling for Thanksgiving? Thanks for the insightful reporting. Check the same time period for 1934. I'll bet shelves were pretty empty then.
Lies. Everything is overstocked
