What is in Short Supply in Your Area?
« on: November 30, 2020, 04:05:30 PM »
Just curious what everyone is seeing. This is what I see here in short supply:
Standard caliber ammo. Odd ammo is available but expensive.
Toilet Paper
Butane cylinders for Jetboil type stoves. The small 100 gram ones are not available and only sportmans warehouse had any larger ones. None at bass pro, 2 Cabelas, 2 Walmarts and one fleet farm.
The food items we buy are in good supply but some stores have limits on the number you can purchase.

Everything I want seems to be available for the moment with the exception of "LYSOL" spray cans. Damn!!! I had to order some from AMAZON and 4 cans was about $55 and I had to wait almost a month to get it. There is a lot of rumbling about toilet paper being hard to find but years ago I bought about 100 rolls and haven't needed to buy any.

 Ammo, all kinds are scarce and expensive. Bounty paper towels, none at Walmart, Scotts toilet paper but get to the store early morning to get any. Lysol, disinfectant wipes.   
 Plenty of canned vegetables also meat but expensive!

Lots of holes in paper products and ammo here too.

Paper products and associated toiletry items (wipes, etc) gone again, ammo (everything except .350 legend and .450 bushmaster, and 12g 6/7.5/8), except at one gun store where the prices are at least triple regular (the prices on the boxes have been changed at least three times), AR's, and, oddly, traditional blackpowder rifles.  Plenty of Heritage .22's though...

Just for kicks & giggles I went on to Ammo.com and guess what? 62 Gr 5.56x45 is going for $1.03 a round now. https://ammo.com/rifle/5.56x45-ammo

LOL!

Well this isn't standard commercial shortages, but at my hospital I've been seeing more frequent interruptions in supply of medical equipment in my department. Not permanent holes, but there have been momentary lapses in supply for items which were in plentiful supply before. I don't know if other departments are experiencing similar issues.

Personally, I've been seeing random shortages on grocery shelves for months. Aisles will just be sparse one week, and fully stocked the next. Sanitation products, obviously, but also frozen, refrigerated and canned foods. Supply has been replenishing within a few days. There is still more than enough supply to warrant sales on a variety of products, but the infrequent lapses in supply were not normal prior to the "pandemic."

At current time, every cartridge is in short supply. Sucks for most, but I am  good.
Hope you are good too

I did an supply ammo can check type overview.  Before that I was going to do some buying at 50cent each for 223.  I am down to 40cent now.  Still nothing nowhere now.
