I had the wife pick up 3 12 packs of mega rolls yesterday. DailyMail had an article a couple of days ago and listed shortages in different States which included KC, MO and we’re in MO so we stocked up.
Back before the first TP shortages, when covid hadn’t really gotten to the US yet, as soon as I saw video of Italy’s empty shelves, I went shopping. Even bought a small chest freezer and filled it. We’d been wanting a freezer for a couple of years now.
A few weeks later, all the TP and freezers were gone.
You did right to listen to your instincts. Wish to heck I’d bought a chest freezer at the beginning, but workflow & income weren’t sufficient at that time to allow me to splurge.
Then again, with the recent ice storm & resulting mass power outages in OK (some lasting 1-2 weeks), I would’ve lost all that food and meat anyhow, since I don’t have a generator to hook a freezer up to. Wish I could afford both, just in case of another outage in the future.
