Despite being advertised in the circular, there were no 4 or 5lb boxes of matzo available at my local Shaw's this season, nor at the two other well-known grocery stores I frequent.

Do you want to talk about shrinkflation? The number of Passover-related products available in these stores has dwindled over time to almost nothing.

The local population is 92,000, with an estimated 10,000 Jewish residents. I am not one to mince words and have, at one time or another, asked the store managers if I was the only Jew in the neighborhood.
