Beginning to see bare shelves at the stores again. The wife was going to order some canned salmon from Sam's. They did not have any available online. Hearing of shortages of bottled water and canned goods.
We are prepared for the most part (just need some canned salmon, LOL).
Anyone else seeing shortages?

On some items we are. Also noticed that some stores are once again putting limits on certain items, so they are seeing it as well.

No worse around here than we've seen for the past 8-10 months. Spotty shortages of some things, but I can generally find most of what I am looking for. I do expect much of the country to drop into panic buying mode soon.
Ammo is dropping in price a little as inventory increases, but the new normal is quite a bit higher - like everything else.

shortages on shelves at Walmart and most everywhere around here (Aiken/Augusta) continues, they say it is supply chain issue due to COVID, we even made one trip to Columbia area Walmart and found some things stocked we didn't have here. Our meat comes from a local butcher and have not had any shortages yet.
Bought some 50 round .22 LR boxes yesterday, wanted a big box, 500+, but they had none, paid just under $10 a box.

An upper level grocery store exec told a friend it will only get worse. He told her to get whatever she needs for the holidays now. Aside from the shipping and trucking issues there are other problems. He said there is a shortage of gravy in jars because the companies can't get jars. They take whatever comes in on the trucks.

I am inventory manager/buyer for a small mom and pop hardware chain ....If it is plastic or metal availability is tough (pvc pipe, nails, screws etc...) When you can get it we are at a 30-40% base price increase across the board since the first of the year. What I am seeing and hearing from friends in the same kind of position in other industries is the same... Lumber has back down some but is still substantially higher... OSB was retailing at 6-7 dollars a sheet is down to 19 bucks retail from the grand high of $62 a sheet...
That is a product commonly used to sheath the outside of a house including the roof... 2-3 bundles per a house so 204 sheets for a decent size home...
204x7 = $1428
204x19 = $3876
and at the high
204x62 = $12,648
The cost of building a home went through the roof.... and is still crazy high....
