The overall full store product supply significantly improved at the end of July, for the first time in a year.
But the supply declined this week.
My overall rating is based on my impression
of the product supply in the ENTIRE store
-- not just those 15 specific items
I want to buy every week.
Today, only 3 items of 15 items we wanted
were not available, which is good news!
Prior weeks, for the 15 items
we want to buy every week:
Last week 5 of 15 items were not available
On July 28 only 3 items of 15 items were not available
8 of 15 specific items surveyed were not available
5 of 15 items were not available
6 of 15 items were not available.
7 of 15 items were not available.
7 of 15 items were not available,
The week before was the record low:
