This problem still seems to be regional. As of two weeks ago and other than not being able to get unsalted soda crackers for the past two months, I haven't seen any real shortages. Grocery stores and hardware stores are still well-stocked. The Dollar General seems to be having problems getting canned goods, but they don't seem to be short on most other items. I have to go to town again this week, and it's possible I might think differently after that trip.
