Empty shelves

Is it my imagination or are some of the supermarkets reducing their stock levels of food? Putting less out on the shelves so less is left unsold at the end of the day or before the sell-by date? Now that inflation is back in food prices, tight cost control has presumably become even more important.

Or just experiencing problems of supply?

It seems to be happening with vegetables & meat in particular, but also with ready meals
