Curious, what kinds of shortages are y’all seeing? Other than the cat food. ;)
I went to the grocery today, a busy Saturday, and I didn’t notice any shortages. Granted, I was doing strategic shopping of sales items, but canned goods, bakery, meat, frozen, dairy, packaged all looked fine. The bacon might have been a bit skimpy. I didn’t go down the pet food aisle since I had no need.
I’ve never stored any of the ‘survival’ emergency foods; never had the funds to be honest. But I do stock up on canned, packaged and frozen items. Not like a case at a time, but enough I could eat for a few weeks. Mine isn’t a cost-saving measure; more a ‘can’t get to the store for a bit’ or ‘had extra expenses this month & it’s 3 days to pay day’ measure.
I’ve only seen the cat food shelves mostly empty, not much else here.
Ha!
That’s the kind of prepper I am.
But I find it addictive: I save so much money from stocking ahead so that I save by only buying on sale.
But then, I’m tighter than Jack Benny...
