Stuck rationing toilet paper because you didn't stockpile during the coronavirus panic over the last few days? Don't worry, according to supply chain experts.
"All the grocery stores are going to have pallets of toilet paper sitting in the aisles and nobody is going to buy it because who needs to buy toilet paper when you got a year's worth sitting in your garage," Daniel Stanton, a supply chain expert and author of "Supply Chain Management for Dummies," tells CNBC Make It. But what about food? Even if the COVID-19 pandemic stretches over months (President Donald Trump said it could last until August), there will no big food shortages, especially on staples like milk, eggs, cheese, bread and meat, according to three supply chain experts who spoke to Make It.

When I worked in a restaurant and bakery decades(too many) we got whole eggs blended and frozen in bulk for making egg wash and other products. So I suppose if you had the freezer space you could stockpile eggs.
Just have to keep the HYPE going don’t they.
In the meat department of my Meijer store, all the lower priced chicken products were gone, leaving only beef products.......
>Anything written by CNBC or Marketwatch.... in a market like this is garbage information, financial porn. Do the opposite of anything they suggest.
Good advice. OK to use them to watch market activity, stocks, funds, ETF prices but beware of their in-house advice. They promote paid for news such as WSJ, Barrons, etc constantly because of their tie in. Their site generated news is mostly opinion piece stuff, and better opinion piece stuff can be found elsewhere if that’s what interests you
Why would a woman want her eggs coated with caster oil?
If you buy well ahead of the curve, like a good third of the FReepers active on the virus threads in January, you not only avoid the panic buying but you also don’t buy what you normally would at that time and may possibly have caused the supply chain to expand slightly at the key time.
No but thanks to Youtube
Canned goods are in short supply in western NC
I lost my Teddy (a black labradoodle) almost two years ago now. I sure miss him right now. Please give yours an extra hug from me. :-)
“Yesterday, I saw 1 man carrying 4 cartons of Eggs. I’m like dude? I hope he has a large family if he doesn’t he is a very selfish POS.”
I’m going with “selfish POS” for $1000 Alex!
If you want rice & you’ve got an Asian grocery store in your area go there. All the stupid white people are afraid to go in there.
Thankfully, there is a small Italian bakery down the street from me where I get my bread, and they had plenty when I stopped on Tuesday.
Heh, we were just discussing and decided that a lot of vegans and vegetarians may have to re-evaluate their life choices if food becomes scarce. Eat meat, or starve, what a dilemma.
The fact is, they are already starving but do not realize that fact
Being proactive I bought a 20 roll case of Marcal toilet tissue as more of an emergency stash. We’d already had plenty of the stuff women like.
Well you’d think I’d get a kudos, but the wife complained about it being too cheap. Compared it to sandpaper. I told her if did come to pass and we had to use it, she could find something else.
HA!
Yesterday I went to the local Safeway. No butter. So I bought a quart of cream. At the check out, I mentioned to the cashier that since there isnt any butter, I will make my own. There was a youngster couple behind me and they looked at me like I was some kind of alien.
I told them that butter is made from cream. You just have to have the know how to make it.
A complete generation of idiots has been raised.
Do they even teach home economics in school anymore?
Wow. we've got tons of all of those. Maybe it's just the distribution failure in Cali. Too many people in one spot?
Hey, I don't know.
I just want a chicken, and dang, they've been out.
I just want a chicken, I got grille, I got charcoal, I got spice.
What about Pepsi Perfect?
