Water running low in Kentucky too. Went to both Kroger and Walmart and both were pretty bare bones on it. Not completely empty but lower stock by far than normal.
Still flowing freely from the tap her in NC.
Lol tap here too! But it doesn’t taste the same so I try to drink bottled if I have a choice lol
I got bad news about that
Do tell ??
I bought a set of these after the freeze here in Texas. I’m on a well and don’t have enough generator power to power my well.

Yeah, I know, Amazon.
30 gallons of potable water on hand in the event of hurricane, freeze, or well failure; in addition to a couple of slabs of bottled water. Mine are stacked 3 high and they seem to be doing fine.
Some well water doesnt store well. You might want to test it to be sure or get some water treatment tabs to be safe.
Thanks for the tip. We have really good well water. Hard, but no metals if any. I’ll still give it a smell and taste tomorrow.
If the trucker strike is for reals then this would be a pincer move
I dont actually disagree with that. There are many people who cannot afford to stock pile anything and have to buy pay check to pay check. It is not fair those who can afford clean out the shelves of supplies.
Welcome to Costco, I don't love you anymore.
There are no reported shortages of retail products in Florida but I will keep my eyes and ears open.
The only shortages I am aware of is some products from California. California has been in near lockdown mode for a while now.
yes - the tone of the article mad me think that this will be determined by local/individual store management. But the fact that they are tipping their hand to the fact that they have a plan for the next round of shortages is telling
I think it might be a regional thing. Was just there and didn't see any signs about limits.
Maybe a month ago water was a little scarce and they had a 2 case limit. But seemingly the next week it was fully stocked and back to normal.
I was just up at my local Safeway grocer and they were out of eggs completely.
May not be related, but usually if they're just low theirs some left of one type or another.
Commies always try to starve their population into compliance...Thus fakebook declaring anyone who cans to be an extremist. Beans and rice are cheap and a complete protein, get lots of those. Also would be wise to build yourself a small still so you can distill water if you ever need to. That's my alternative to stocking up 500 gallons of water lol I dont have that much space or shelving.
Sam's too
