Stocking up creates artificial shortage that leads to mass hysteria like with toilet paper during covid.

I’d not be doing much different than normal BUT it makes sense to have staples at home that don’t go bad fast. Like grains. Can beans. Flour. Etc

I usually do stock up on household cleaning products and toiletries etc just because I like to have extra
Thanks for this!

MD, thanks for not making this a political discussion.

I will admit the news makes me anxious about possible shortages, but I am in a head space right now that lots of things make me anxious.

My solution? Hurricane season starts June 1st. I start hurricane prep this time of year. I don't panic buy stuff, but will add a bit of supplies I might need each time I shop. My goal is to have any supplies I might need before June 1st. That way I avoid the crazy panicked crowds when a storm approaches.

My suggestion to you would be to do what brings you peace of mind. Am not advocating you run out and buy out the store, but if getting some staples brings you peace go for it.

I saw Prepper Princess on youtube had more cans of coffee stacked on top of her kitchen cabinets than my local Safeway. She said if a shortage comes and she cant get her coffee, it wont be pretty, and i believe her! She makes me look like Mother Theresa mood-wise! She doesnt even flush her toilet to save money. Then she wonders why she cant get a roommate. She loves her dogs though. An interesting person. I could never be that disciplined.
