I almost gave up, but happened to come across a 1.5 lb bag of small Yukon Golds at Target for $4.49 while shopping for something else. Usually you buy these for $1.29/lb or less.
Then about 4 or 5 days after that, I saw on the news there's a global potato shortage due to Covid-19. In that news clip, they said French fries are almost impossible to find in Japan. Has anybody else experienced a potato shortage where you live due to Covid-19?

I have noticed some shortages on other items. At the grocery store over the weekend there wasn't much in the way of chicken at all. I couldn't find the chicken that I normally buy, which is almost always there.
