Store Shelves Are Emptying Again

[Weatherman2020]

Went to Sam’s and Walmart today and a lot of empty shelves at both stores, so I checked the news. Sure enough, rougher times ahead. My guess is people know what this skyrocketing fuel costs are going to do to prices and availability and are stocking up.

Used to joke about the empty shelves of the Soviet Union. Now we’ve declined to their old level.

Rising prices, empty shelves — NJ residents worried about future

The war in Ukraine is certainly going to exacerbate those concerns, said John Froonjian, director of the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy at Stockton University.

Worst president ever.

Yeah, we deal with empty shelves and missing items on our list every week now, have for months. I think people stock up when something DOES come in --- we sure do!! --- so that fact, that it may not be in again next time, is part of the problem. When supplies were reliable, people just bought one.

This morning: no bleach, no Vitamin Water XXX.

Laugh now, cry later.

That said I don't suspect to have one in 2022 because there is way too much money out there but "Katy bar the door" in 2023 as the Fed tightens-up starting in the next month or so.

I hope that some folks learn from this. Because I listen to conservative talk radio, I have been slowly stockpiling enough to last a year or two of almost everything, just by picking up an extra one of this or that every time I go to the store. And extra 20-pack of TP twice a year. A five gallon jerrycan of extra gas about once a month through the winter. A 20 lb. tank of propane once a month for the generator.

I realize that apartment dwellers can't really store that much, but start with SOMETHING. An extra 4-pack of TP and an extra can of soup, or equivalent, every time you go to the store.

This is happening now. As we get through this, we need to be realistic about the fact that it will happen again.

PS -- None of my neighbors know about the extent of my squirreling away. If your neighbors know it's there, it will eventually belong to them.

LOL.....I'm way too good natured, the neighborhood guys send their scantly-clad wives over to borrow a cup of bullets all the time.....Sigh, too embarrassed to ask me themselves I guess.
