Weird shit is going on. There are shortages occurring. Tell me what you are seeing. I've noticed the following:
Lumber
Building materials in general
Cars
Pokemon cards
What else?

clothing and shoes. and what I can find, has a different quality to it. socks are thinner, and packaging is different.
"shrink-flation" when companies hide a price hike with smaller products (like the price of bacon is the same, but it is now 12 oz instead of 16 oz.). I have seen people reporting that the costco paper towels have less sheets per roll now but the price is the same.
Clothes suck! I went shopping for the first time about a month ago to get something for job interview. Store was empty (not as many racks to choose from) and clothing quality did seem inferior.
So people here may or may not like Costco, and some items there are better deals than others, but the best deals by far at Costco are the clothes. Really good quality in my experience, lots of top brands (who have admittedly sold their souls and dinged their brand premium for the opportunity to push volume at Costco) and Costco’s various house-brands are good too, awesome return policy, fairly consistent sizing across brands, really inexpensive prices. I bought more dress (/dress casual) pants there the other day than I really needed, just because I liked them… and they were so very reasonably priced.
Yes, Costco, by design, has limited skus and quickly rotating items, so you can’t always find exactly what you want exactly when you want it… but for men’s dress-casual wear in specific, it’s pretty consistently good year round.
Anyways, I know their are shortages all over in Bidet’s America, but for men’s dress causal stuff at least (and I haven’t worn a full suit to a professional interview in over a decade… I do miss wearing suits to some degree, but I now never feel underdressed in sharp dress-casual wear, usually with a sport coat)… for what it’s worth, I’ll give a ? to Costco.
My husband loves their clothes!
