Wondering what to hoard? Here you go:

Which products could be affected by a lengthy port strike? Alcohol, bananas and seafood, to name a few

Consumers may struggle to find products like bananas, electronics and *gasp* booze now that dockworkers at ports from Maine to Texas are on strike.

Just curious what you guys think will be hard to get/find?

Common sense will be extremely hard to find.

buy toilet paper

Don’t hoard toilet paper. 90% of the toilet paper production is within the US and has nothing to do with the dock workers strike which is now on hold with them back to work.

People love a good fake emergency.

This whole strike thing was organized by big TP. They had a glut of TP and needed to find a way to reduce their inventory. The Charmin bears are now happy.

Strike over.

Wife went to Costco a couple of days ago - regular monthly or quarterly visit. Plenty of TP but out of paper towels. Said they expected more in this week but may/may not happen.

Yesterday, Sam's was completely out of TP but still had a couple of brands of paper towels.

I would have figured people were still trying to use up the enormous stockpiles they had from the last ‘emergency’ shortage.

Actually with inflation if they didn't carry a balance on their card, they have saved money assuming rodents or insects haven't gotten to it.

Termite infestation of TP.
