A friend reported that in her area in the Midwest, no stores have potatoes, toilet paper, or hand sanitizers. Also missing are cereals and eggs. Many shelves are empty. Some shortage of bottled water. However, there are plenty of milk, bananas, coffee, and bread.

I usually bake bread around Christmas....the first loaf is a little iffy, but the next rounds get better and better.

Panic-buying says "Me first, and screw everybody else." Precautionary buying harms no one else, and might even give you a surplus with which to help neighbors, friends, or relatives.
Exactly. I did my prepping in February.

"I dont understand why toilet paper is being hoarded." Because if you are locked down you don't want to run out of toilet paper. Then when everyone started buying it you have to get what you can when you can because it might be gone.

“Why would a woman want her eggs coated with caster oil?”
See post 117. Eggs are laid with a natural air/microbe-blocking coating that American processing removes.

The cost of beef these days. I used to eat lots of steaks but can't afford them anymore..... One thing I've noticed is the top grade hamburger is sold out first. There is plenty of ground chuck...

“Ah, so are you a Browns fan or a Doc Brown fan?”
Used to be the Browns. Art Modell administered the antidote and Jimmy Haslam is keeping the cure in place.
Now Doc Brown, how can you not like Doc Brown?!

Rice, sugar and potatoes are gone. E
Now the stores are putting Limit One on all the hoarded stuff, so eventually the supply chain will catch up.
In the days of trouble before Jesus returns, there will be no supply chain.
And BTW, thank every trucker you see.

Screw that. I just want a chicken. Sell me a chicken! Local rural market had hundreds of chicks, roosters, and pullets for sale, no different than usual. Chicks were going for ~$1.50 a piece, depending on breed. Point-of-lay hens were a little harder to come by, but it's seasonal demand more than anything else.
We have three neighbors with producing hens and have eggs stacked to the brim. If your municipality allows it, I recommend getting a few. They produce eggs daily and are simple and cheap to care for.
