Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What are your regional scarcities

This^^
There is no labor pool. About 50 young white people holding signs on every corner of town though. We’re a big college town and friends in retail/restaurants said there’s hardly any college kids working part time gigs.

No real shortages here but prices are higher. Restaurants are curtailing hours.

Things seem to be compounding.


People will start calling for the federal government to step in and please "help" them. Governments love crises.

Velveeta makes a good grilled sandwich.

They create the problems so they can scam in some way. joes mistakes and poor decisions are a plan. He is a great puppet for evil.

Hard to get brisket and beef in general.

I bet the deer are going to take a big hit this season. Guys will be using that tag more than once I bet.

When meat gets scare so will wild game. If times get real tough it would be impossible to live off of game.

Sitting in a tree this breezy morning im noticing a shortage of deer.......

Freedom.

Ammo

Good beef has been scarce in regular grocery stores for years. I need to travel to a Costco or a high-end store like Wegmans for Prime or even Choice sometimes. I assume they stock what sells, and this area probably doesn’t support a market for expensive cuts.

I’ve seen a few more empty spots on the shelves lately, but mostly in the paper aisle. Fewer choices, but always some, and none of that Canadian TP as yet. Canned meat, flour, sugar, and other prepper stuff is abundant.

There are a few things I haven't been able to find since this crap started. The big jars of sliced, pickled jalapeños, tricolor rotini pasta, half gallon ziplock freezer bags. There's always the gourmet/expensive stuff but otherwise the pasta shelves have been pretty empty.

Similar to the ammo shortage, it seems to be the cheapest stuff that's in shortest supply.

What isn't scarce are chickens and goats. Every other house now has chickens and at least one house on the block will have goats.

Same stuff as last year.

No major changes thus far.

Crackers.


Wtf is the deal with empty cracker shelves?


On the cargo containers from Chinah too?

Common sense. Most things though are pretty random. Dog food was noticeable yesterday at the local grocer. Plenty of TP. Long lines at the pumps driving past Sam's. I think I paid $3.499 for rattler fuel two days ago. Glory days.

Public hunting and quail.

Bottled water, breakfast sausage is what I've noticed. We usually buy 20 lbs or so when it's on sale, and it hasn't been on sale for months and months. Now it's to the point there are weeks there isn't any of what we usually buy.

Going to grow a big garden again next year, have half a beef ordered for December and two pigs for the year. Still have a week for deer season.

Don't know if it is related, but retail sales shot up at the farm yesterday to almost three times normal. Wouldn't surprise me if it was, we saw a huge uptick last year when beef got scarce.

Just asked my wife, she said there are lots of bare shelves.

Frozen food, bottled water, random chit, etc..


Luckily I never have to step foot in our crowded little store so I don't have a clue.


But I do shop for beer at 2 different c-stores. Stella and my back-up Heineken are hard to find. Lots of domestic 'beer' though.

Common sense critically low here.
