Inflation in the United States has caused product shortages and price increases! Walmart and Costco have implemented purchase restrictions!

It is learned that shortages of some products, price increases and other supply chain issues are still plaguing retail stores across the United States. Retail giants such as Walmart, Costco, Target and Kroger have begun to limit purchases of some products.

Infant formula

About 30% of the most popular baby formula brands are sold out in more than 11,000 stores across the United States. Due to limited supply, this essential product is also on the purchase list. According to the Wall Street Journal, Walmart has a limit of 5 bottles of milk powder and CVS has a limit of 3 bottles. The recall of three baby formulas from Abbott Nutrition has also made the shelves emptier. Many parents who can't buy milk powder have even begun to seek help on social media.

Like other grocery chains, Costco has begun limiting purchases of some products, including sugar. Instead of the previous 10-15, Costco is now limiting purchases of two of a 10-pound bag of Royal Cane Sugar. On Costco.com, each member can only buy one bag of sugar for $7.99.

In addition, Costco.com also imposes purchase limits on daily necessities such as active dry yeast, household cleaning gloves, printers, tuna, canola oil, canned salmon, plastic wrap, soy milk, macaroni and cheese, etc.

Pet Food

Costco has also limited the purchase of pet food, both online and offline, with each member only able to purchase one serving. Despite the widespread purchase restrictions due to inflation, Costco said it will continue to keep prices stable.
