Food may well become a problem. My local supermarket has not been fully stocked for about three weeks. Everything is still available, just not as much of each on the shelves. Credit crunch maybe? I don't know but it makes me a wee bit concerned.

Walmart was low on eggs, bread and bottled water last week. It concerned me too. Maybe they just needed to restock after Thanksgiving.
