Went to Walmart this afternoon to pick up some locks for interior and exterior doors.
they did not have their usual stock available. Pickins were thin.
Ended up with a silver verses brass look locks. Was glad that they had something. Noticed lots of other gaps in the inventory in Housewares. Sign of the times? --24.233.xxx.xx |

What is happening with everything is just in time stock where stock is ordered to replace depleted stock so nothing is over stocked then fewer stock goes on sale. Grocery stores, hardware, lumber are going to just in time ordering. In a peak everything will sold out. --99.236.xxx.xxx |

Things will continue getting more difficult to obtain I fear. Whether things return to "normal" or this is the "New" normal I don't know. I think all you can do is just keep stepping forward and hope for solutions as problems arise.
I rarely go into stores anymore. Instead of spending an hour in Home Depot or Walmart buying stuff I don't need, I order online and just pick it up. It's been working quite well.

I've seen that in our closest WalMart. But the odd thing is that another one, four miles away, has much better stock. It also has employees who are more pleasant, and the store is cleaner. In this case, I'm guessing that it has more to do with management than anything. --108.2.xx.xxx |

I never realized how much stuff I stocked until this past year.
A trip to the store is normally just for paint.
I even have my own sawmill when I feel like building a crate or fence or toy of some sorts.
I'm not doing any heavy remodeling where loads of materials would be needed.
As for appliances, haven't bought any in years...in fact sold off about a dozen dryers this year.
Your post has me thinking, Thanks --108.28.xx.xxx |
