Shortages coming?

I believe we will see things we have never seen before. Fertilizer shortages mean less food growing which means less food. Diesel shortages mean fewer means of transporting goods (anything we buy) to the store shelves. Or us getting around in general. Will the madness ever end, in my opinion no, only going to get worse. Praying for your anxiety. That is how I stay calm in the madness, I talk with God, and read His word.

Eggs were starting to come down to almost $4 a dozen here. If the diesel shortage continues, they could escalate again. Gas prices were coming down, but I see they're going up again.

Look at brown eggs. They taste exactly the same as white eggs but are just over half the price. 1 dozen extra large white eggs are $3. 1 dozen extra large brown eggs are $1.89. So stock up on things you think you NEED while the prices are "lower" if you really think the prices will go that high. We bought a bunch of chocolate the day after Halloween and stuck it into our fridge. It will keep over a year in there. You can buy canned soups, meats, pasta and milk powder at today's prices. Ignore the "best by", "use by" and other dates on canned and dried foods. As long as the cans don't start rusting and you keep the dried foods from getting any moisture in them, they will still be good for years. (Those dates on the canned and dried foods are there to make people throw away perfectly good food and buy more when there's no health reason to throw them out.)

There are more shortages coming for sure...and the shortage of diesel fuel will only add to the problems of transporting goods that plague us right now.

It wouldnt surprise me the way eveything has doubled and even tripled in price. Everything goes up but the wages stay the same so that makes it hard not to stress about. Ever since covid started life has been getting worse. It is scary.

The madness will not end any time soon unfortunately. The diesel shortage will empty the shelves soon.

I haven't heard anything (I don't watch news-related stuff), but it wouldn't surprise me. :(

I have been hearing about it. That's really going to affect Black Friday and the Christmas Season if we have a big lack of diesel.

YES, we know that we are going to see shortages coming soon, we are prepared, I stocked some things.

Ahh, that explains the price increase in mayo. I just assumed it was due to different issues. I've noticed the huge price increases in carbonated beverages too. It's easier now to point out to the kids that those are treats and not something I'm going to buy all the time when I show them how much they cost as opposed to what they were before. Homemade iced tea and lemonade are still cheap (as long as we can afford the sugar).

We all need to think ahead on some items if we can, I am not trying to be a doomsday prepper by any means, but it's going to get worse before it gets better. The shortages and high prices are all over the world, not just the US. I have always been frugal, I use leftovers and try to use everything I can use until it's not useful anymore, but this is tough.

Inflation is common in India as well.

Sometimes we have to pretend as if nothing is going wrong just to have a peace if mind

This is due to the ongoing inflation world wide. In my country we rarely have petrol and comes with a higher price in turns. The most expensive item here in my country is the price of sugar. It has gone higher from $1.20 to $2.0

Anything is possible, but I don't see that happening. I know inflation is worse than ever. I notice it every time George tells me the price of something.

I have heard there will be a shortage on tomato products.

I do think some of it is excuses to raise the prices.

An Ohio friend of mine keeps telling me that stuff is going to be hard to get. So far its mostly the prices of things like eggs that are getting outrageous. I can make mayo IF I can buy oil and an egg. Oooops.

Even carbonated drinks are in danger? I knew for diesel, gas but this is suprise.

This is what happens when the country espouses socialist values and elects people with socialist views. We become the old USSR and people don't have their basic needs met and become poorer, while all the money and power and control is held at the top.
