Eggs

Yep. The toilet paper shortage started over seas, in Italy I think, if memory serves... and it was a legitimate shortage due to manufacturing issues. People here heard about it a rushed out to buy while it was still on the self and went overboard, creating the shortage here. Some idiots even bragged about having a closet full of TP.

I joked about taking advantage of the situation. I couldn't do that.

I guess I'm one of those "idiots" too, only I didnt brag about it. I had well over a years supply of TP. To me that was just smart prepping. What's the difference between a closet full of TP or a closet full of canned food?

eggs at local walmart in rural CO are $9 + for dozen white shell, $10+ for brown eggs dosen. $13+ for 18pack and over $36 for the large box.

The difference is that we don't put undue strain on the supply chain in times of need, because we bought ahead of any shortages.

My only concern is that my family has what they need when or if things go south. Unfortunately we're giving away most of our TP stock because it isn't compatible with our septic system. So now we're starting over again.

Most stores offer a store card, it costs nothing and you use it every time you shop. If there are specials or deals on any of the items you purchase (which you should be looking for as you shop), using the card gets you the deal. Otherwise, no deal. That was how I got a dozen eggs for less than $2.
