Nope, but that’s why we prep! I remember the day before Covid lockdowns and everyone was out buying groceries. I had already prepped weeks ahead and so I was at the library maxing out me and all my kids library cards instead.
Every year we get a hurricane here in the south people always do a mad dash the day before as if there was no way to see that a hurricane would eventually hit us.
That is the most infuriating part of hurricanes. If only there was some sort of rhyme or reason to these storms. Some sort of predictable pattern we could use to prepare ourselves. /s
My father has gone out in the early part of landfall and called me to complain that the corner store didn't have batteries. Buddy, the eyewall is like 50 miles offshore. Did you seriously wait until now to start preparing? And, why are you at Circle K doing so?!
Same
It was only The week before & a friend posted about not being sure just how bad it was going to be but it was going to be bad. My husband was out of the country on a business trip and k told him I was going to go to Costco for one more restock. We were pretty set but just to be safe.
No one else was doing it. 3-4? Days later?? The shelves were empty.
That was pre-prepping time for me, so I was that person that went out the moment I heard that we had a case in our state. I actually went to Costco that night right before it closed. The next day things started falling apart and I was gazing fondly at my stack of TP and cleaning wipes. 😂
Still, I’ll never be even close to caught short again.
Yeah, I laughed because just before everything started locking down I went out Friday evening to pick up a few random things. I felt so justified for having been ready for that type of thing for many years before that.
In my circle, the people who were concerned are maintaining their stockups from when tariffs were implemented and everything got more expensive, or they don't think anything is happening or will ever happen.
There is no in between.
The stockpilers are also putting in or expanding their gardens. The nu uh'ers are complaining about the quality of tomatoes and strawberries at the grocery store.
And yet I bet they voted for Reagan in ‘80, mostly because of the damn gas crisis that they claim didn’t happen. (Although a lot of those people also now claim they didn’t vote for him. A lot of amnesia in that group, probably the lead exposure.)
Sure there will always be folks who stockpile, but I think the difference this time is that the average person cannot afford to stockpile this time around because they're already living on credit. Most of the Covid stockpiling that caused shortages happened after the stimulus checks started going out.
I've seen some aggressive obliviousness lately. Like you can't just say things like "gotta stock up before the weekend" without getting an indignant response of "don't be crazy" - like all I meant was I'd be out of town/have plans/etx.
Not that we’ve noticed in central Ohio. But also haven’t been paying particular attention as we have our preparations in place, as always. Will let you know if I see any concerning change in activity.
yeah, we did the same. I did the math. EV did 90% of the driving in the city, roadtrips were like a mere 10% of the time, so thats being delegated to the gasser/hybrid cars instead. Its just much cheaper with an EV and you get a much higher MPGe too.
I just got back from Aldi. There was broccoli where the romaine hearts were supposed to be. Better stock up on romaine if you can. Don’t sweat the broccoli.
I don't do the in person shopping, but I'm seeing a lot of out of stocks online. Probably a combination of supply chain issues and people stalking up online.
I just walked through the grocery store and so many empty gaps on the shelves and products spread out to take up space. Made me think it was the weekend because that’s when everyone shops, until I remembered today was Wednesday.

Lol, remember us waiting for gas in hours long lines, tags ending with even numbers could buy on certain days and odd numbers certain day, no gas on Sunday.
Semi-related, but here is a site specific to New Zealand’s “Taxpayers’ Union” put together to tracks the fuel depletion estimate: https://www.fuelclock.nz - Estimate right now is a little over 26 days(generally speaking).
Nope. People do not seem to connect the dots, missing the facts that no or less oil means less fuel means less and more expensive food and stuff. I try to warn them but when I do they don't listen. It's like back when Covid was making it's way from Asia towards Europe. Before state officials issue warnings they don't want to know, don't want to see, don't want to hear. I'm unable to understand such a mindset.
Everyone who owns a car or buys stuff can see prices hiking up. Russia is continually threatening and invading EU territorry. I can't remember hearing military planes this often. I even checked the news and apparently there was a joint manouvre a few weeks ago, armies practising their defense skills. But now no news of such things. Only the noise of very fast planes overhead. Now I don't fear war coming to my country, not even to EU countries. At least not yet. But it would be wrong to dismiss the threats.
Anyway. More cheap food for dog and me if people don't want to stock up. From time to time newspapers and other newsoutlets talk about stocking up the pantry so that you can survive for two weeks if for whatever reason we have no energy and shops are closed. But I think most people ignore these articles.
And while I live in a rich country which takes care even of it's poorest, I worry what fuel shortage and less and more expensive food will mean for the poor countries, where people survive on rice with rice.
yea ive been told to fill my closet with the gas tupperware containers by chatgpt and i use a siphon tube to connect it to my generator that i vent the exhaust out from using a fan in my room
The fan alone probably isn’t enough to fully vent your room either, that’s why people don’t keep generators indoors unless it’s a ventilated basement or something
I'm always looking for signs of this happening, and as it turns out I'm also retired and live very close to a Costco and go all the time. And I'm not seeing any stockpiling behavior at all.
I've come on here and reported seeing it in the past.
People need to be worried about an emerging infection called Vibrio however. It is getting much more prevalent and emergency medical doctors are seeing it quite a bit and are very worried. It kills within 48 hours of getting infected. CDC has a good page about it.
Hey, if you don't mind, maybe you could answer a question about that for me? How big is an open wound, generally?
Like, if I had an ingrown hair and now have a little ouch there about as wide as a traditional pencil lead, is that sufficient? Any breach of the skin at all? I mean, obviously bacteria are microscopic (in most cases) and my tiniest scratch is an open gate to them. What potential exposure to an invader is really worth concern, though?
I always get my gas at Costco, and while the lines have been longer recently than they were historically, I think that's more so folks trying to get the best price on gas, and if they have a Costco membership, Costco is the cheapest by far. In store, the lines have also been longer but I haven't seen any stockpiling, that's more so just folks getting more of their groceries at Costco instead of some place like Kroger because again it's substantially cheaper.
All that to say, given how stretched the average person's finances are right now, and how much they are already living on credit, I would be surprised if we saw much stockpiling this time around. Even if it gets really bad and folks really panic, they likely will not be able to afford to stockpile. Most of the Covid stockpiling happened after the stimulus checks started going out.
Too broke to stock for bug in, my entire survival strategy is bugging out to a rally point with peers at a small farm. I’m at a point where it feels like it would be wise to pull loans and stock up now before it’s not an option, and just hoping SHTF event wipes out credit and loans
If things break I don’t see them being fixed in a decade or sooner.
I had the same thought, sadly. Haven't decided, but im basically only topping off supplies, so should be a lighter spend. I started restocking when Orange guy got in last spring.
Would like some advice on gas cans, however. I live in a rural area and wondering if this is better or worse...
I do most of my groceries on line and one particular frustration has been attempting to purchase large bags regular long grain white rice. I don't know if its supply chain issues, it has been going on before war, but continually confronted with "out of stock".
Thru another Reddit page I heard certain rice has been difficult to acquire because of military issues in Pakistan. Pakistan is fighting someone and I can't remember who and it may even be an internal struggle. Anyways this person has had difficulty getting a certain rice because of it. I would assume jasmine or basmati.
I’ve noticed the same thing. I feel like maybe people are trying to keep their prepping from being too obvious. I know I am. I wouldn’t go to the store and stock up on things in one trip. Not after the backlash people got socially being accused of “hoarding” etc. it either order online or make a few trips. maybe others are thinking the same?
Ya, this is December 2020. We haven't hit March yet. I think your estimates are probably pretty close. Looking at the oil futures market, once the current stock is moved through, and all that is left is the expensive stuff, futures are at $150-200 a barrel. You can almost see it coming like a wall. Once that hits, then I'd give it a month for people to take note and start making moves.
Lol when all that toilet paper caught on fire I put in an early order for the Kirkland Ultra Soft toilet paper that I love (a double order too) lol. And added on some paper towels. That's the stockpiling I did this week.
Got the odd looks the other day fulling up my gas cans at Costco... But that's part of my normal spring gas up for tractors and mowers. Seems to me many want to but don't know when to start to dump what little they have left into gas or beans.
Ha one time I pulled up to a Sam's with my trailer, long line day ... Sat in it and even took the outside lane, you know the one that takes a bit longer and once they seen the 10+ 5gal gas cans you could feel the rage. Was not even bad times just they seemed to all think it was going to take all day. Moved on to bigger tanks now but once people see what 50 gallons looks like compared to the 30 they are putting in their SUV ... It's like the math does not math for them.
Strangely people at my Costco typically barely buy anything. So much so that I wonder why they bother going. This last time there were majority with full carts.
Quite the opposite. Restaurants are packed at 3 or 4 in the afternoon on a weekday...like wtf is up with that? My wife and I eat out a couple times a week and many of the restaurants we go to are quite busy even at odd times. A recession would be nice. Back to empty restaurants and discounted company stock.
I have some relatives who never prepped who went prep-stockpile shopping the day Trump put the 8 pm deadline to wipe out a civilization. They said a lot of people were doing it that day. They also made BOB’s.
No the opposite. I'm in Ireland. We had farmers/agricultural contractors and truckers protesting the cost of diesel. Its their biggest cost. They blocked motor ways and fuel depos. This caused a run on petrol stations and the ones in the south and west of the country ran out. I've been driving around with a minimum of half a tank in my car bit clearly nobody else was.
No, but I did see a big special on beans which has been going on for a while, made me think the store is trying to target consumer fears around the economy
