I haven't seen any shortage, around here. But, I know that there was a recent post about it. It's a good thing to keep in mind, should a shortage occur. These kinds of purchases can mean great savings. One on my favorite condiments/ingredients is "Kitchen Bouquet." It adds to browning, during cooking, and has a slight caramel essence to it. My Dad used it in so many gravies and sauces, and he brushed a bit on almost all meats that were to be baked/roasted. The only bottles that I've ever seen in markets is the 4 OZ., which has been creeping up in price to an average of the $6.00 range. I found it online, at 1 quart for about $15. The last time I ordered it was about a year ago, and I have almost 1/2 bottle left. I just looked, for purposes of this post, and see that you must order a 2 quart minimum, now. That runs $26, which is still a huge savings. I don't think it goes "bad," so storage space would be the biggest draw-back to that. www.amazon.com/Kitchen-Bouquet-Browning-Seasoning-Sauce/dp/B00KVVZ6X4/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2GQ266BQP9PL7&dchild=1&keywords=kitchen+bouquet+browning+and+seasoning+sauce&qid=1618177982&s=grocery&sprefix=Kitchen+%2Cgrocery%2C254&sr=1-6

That gallon jug size probably comes in handy for people who like to drink the stuff, lol.

Must've been something my mom used years ago. Which leads to my next question: how do you use that stuff? If it is sold in 4 oz. bottles, it must be highly concentrated. (Oh, and I looked for it in the store last night, figured it'd be near the Worcestershire Sauce section, or thereabouts, but I did not see it. Maybe it's in some other grocery section entirely.)

I hope it has a long shelf life. Bought 2 20 oz bottles at Costco maybe 2 years ago. No date on them, doesn't say to refrigerate after opening. Nearly done with the first bottle, which is on the refrigerator door just in case.

Not sure, but I think it has a little wine-like alcohol content, so it should be okay for years, as long as it's unopened. In fact, it might even get better with age.
