Had to redo my online shopping cart three times because of components going out of stock before I finished making my selection... sigh I knew I should have bought it last night but I slept on it and now that lambda a++ psu will have to wait

Toilet paper. Post apocalypse media usually uses soda, sugar, cigarettes, Twinkies as currency, but nobody mentions toilet paper.

Bread shortages were unexpected too, in a nation that mostly eats rice.

US, Austin: I was surprised by shortage of coffee and peanut butter.

Germany: yeast in supermarkets (people bake more at home?), weights in ecommerce (those having to skip the gym training at home?)
