I noticed in the town I shop in when fuel was really high the grocery store was running out of things- many empty shelves. I think they cut down on their frequency of orders to save the high shipping cost. Seeing how fast they ran out of basic things was an eye opener though. Everything now is based on “just in time” so I bet grocery stores would be wiped out in just a couple days if anything caused the trucks to stop coming.
I live way out in the boonies and in the back of my mind I thought- well no terrorist or other country is going to attack here- it will be the big cities they hit. Problem is a lot of our food and all other supplies come from those cities. If something bad happens in the cities it will effect everyone no matter where you live.
I keep a pretty well stocked panty, but have been adding to it since I realized it wouldn’t take much to clean out the grocery stores.
Don’t forget to stock up on medical supplies both over the counter and any prescriptions or supplies you can’t do without.
If you have pets or livestock, you can check the farm supply store.
All farm supply stores have a wide variety of antibiotics and antiseptics you can buy without prescription.
But do it only if you have pets.
(Wink, wink...)
