[QUOTE="DanielH, post: 1532652, member: 18034"] Be on the lookout for certain "solutions" to this problem. I wouldn't be surprised to see a sort digital rationing system, either on the corporate or private side come along soon. Here in the Northeast US I don't think I've ever seen shelves so consistently empty. My local grocery store is on top of pushing everything to the front so it appears the shelves are full, but seeing a third of one side of an aisle being one deep of one type of condiment stood out to me as particularly bizarre. Told a friend ground beef was anywhere from 3.50-7/lb depending on the quality, he was shocked that the lowest you can get it was 3.50, but I was wrong, the lowest is now 4.50 that I can find. Aldi might be lower if I drive the extra distance. Also every time we've gone there has been no more than a few packages of ground beef, if any. That was a staple of our diet and that is one small thing that will probably have to change this winter. On the bright side more and more of my extended family is on board with prepping and gardening more. I'm looking everywhere I can now for firewood. The fireplace typically accounts for half of our winter heating, but I'm trying to get that closer to 100% assuming it's free since heating costs are skyrocketing.
