It’s always good to be prepared. I’ve stocked up some.
Having said that I haven’t seen any evidence we are about to face end times starvation. My stores seem to be stocked like normal. Grateful for that.
You have a short memory maybe?
Think back to March, on the 13th, the day the lockdown was announced.
I happened to be out shopping and the stores shelves were stripped bare.
You could not find much besides some over priced beef, but all the staples were GONE!!!!!!!!!
I was looking for chicken and not a piece to be had. There was one turkey and one turkey breast left. I took the turkey.
People are so conditioned to think of turkey as Thanksgiving food that I think many did not even consider it.
Pretty much what Venezuelans were saying just before the bottom fell out.

I’m in your camp. Walmart has some shortages, but it is MUCH better than it’s been in the past 6 months. They are doing a HUGE business with their drive-up feature; there are always clerks scurrying around filling carts with orders.
My local grocer (SureFine) Piggly Wiggly (!) never did run out of a thing, but they did place limits on the number of things you could buy at a time and they have an awesome house brand of canned goods for stocking up that is as good as anything I’ve seen and great seasonal in-store specials. Good meat section with REAL butchers.
I have a huge garden, so I can and freeze and we hunt and fish. If it looks like times are going to be really tough, we can always raise our own meat animals and barter for stuff from my neighbor who has chickens and the dairy that rents land from us for crops.
I feel confident we can weather what comes our way. :)
