I an tired of not being able to buy previously common items. Ammunition, rubbing alcohol, full sized Bounty Paper Towels, vinegar, canning supplies and a multitude of other items are no longer available. I went to a Do It Best Hardware Store, Kroger, Tractor Supply and Walmart on Wednesday to get canning supplies with little success. Thursday, I went to the Country General Store, another Tractor Supply Company, another Kroger and another Walmart, with a little better success, but still could not get everything I wanted.
Why can't America get it together again?

Same situation here. Empty sections in stores. Canning especially. Place orders on-line, and get e-mails that the products are on back-order. A couple said that it’d be 5-6 weeks before they “might” get the items.

Just went and checked my 'stash'. I'm good to go. Not a hoarder, just CHEAP. I hit 'close out sales' and buy in bulk when I can. Canning supplies, ammunition, and other 'durable' consumables are never going to be as cheap or plentiful again. Charlie

Lot of canning stuff was gone back in April around here. Same here. Couple places told me last week that they hadn’t received any new stock in a month.

Here, lids were $3.99/dz back in March. A little higher in a few stores.

Went to Menards to buy some stair riser lumber couldn't find any 2X10s or 2x8s. I also planed on replacing some of my deck boards and they didn't have any 10 footers.
