Request for Information (RFI) – Supply Chain Issues
AP has been reporting on COVID-19 since January 2020. For a complete list of all of our articles relating to the pandemic, click here: https://www.americanpartisan.org/2020/03/coronavirus-link-rollup-american-partisan/
Way back in April 2020, I put out an RFI for sitreps with regards to the availability of food, water, medical, and other supplies in order to get a clearer picture of the scale and scope of the supply problems. The community responded in a resounding way and really gave great information. I would like to repeat that RFI now.
Here are my Requests for Information (RFIs):
- What supplies are low or nonexistant in your AO?
- What supplies are suprisingly available?
- What supplies would you recommend that are outside the box of normal thinking?
- What interruptions in public services are you seeing?
- What interruptions in patterns of like are you seeing?
- If comfortable, a general idea of where you are located (vagueness is obviously fine – I mean, AP gets it lol)
Please report in the comments below and share any other similar reports you have seen elsewhere as well. I fully intend on updating this article over the next few days as well with my more current observations.
SITREP
Visited an Lidl, Aldi, Acme, Super Walmart, and BJs.
- What supplies are low or nonexistent in your AO?
The main thing missing is chicken. Other meats are generally available, albeit in lower quantities. But check is particular hard to come by in most places, and the prices are pretty high if you can find them. There are other items in which you can see a decreased quantity of (i.e. gaps in shelves, shelves look full but they are only one or two items deep, etc). These include canned vegetables, canned beans, and water (the water may be due to the recent two snowfalls we have had). Pasta is also in short supply, and canning jars are very hard to find (luckily, vacuum sealer supplies are plentiful). Seafood that is processed in china like salmon pieces are also hard to come by.
As a comparison to the start of the pandemic, this is what one of the grovery stores in my AO looked like:
https://www.americanpartisan.org/2020/03/coronavirus-scenes-from-a-ne-grocery-store/
- What supplies are surprisingly available?
Dry goods are present, as is fresh produce. Each store had a few produce items in limited supply but overall it was definitely better than I expected. I was also surprised to see paper products back in normal quantities. BJs in particular was looking pretty “pre-pandemic” (for an idea of what it looked like during the pandemic, click this hyperlink – https://www.americanpartisan.org/2020/03/coronavirus-scenes-from-a-ne-warehouse-club/).
- What supplies would you recommend that are outside the box of normal thinking?
Lemon juice as a food preservation tool, vacuum sealer and bags, OTC medicines as many are manufactured overseas, propane.
- What interruptions in public services are you seeing?
Schools are fluctuating between remote and in person.
- What interruptions in patterns of life are you seeing?
Longer wait times as stores are short staffed. Gas prices are still elevated. “Sales” at stores aren’t really sales prices – they are just the old normal prices.
- If comfortable, a general idea of where you are located (vagueness is obviously fine – I mean, AP gets it lol)
Location: Somewhere in Eastern PA or NJ.

Orlando FL. Price disparity between GFS foods and Amazon on 50lb bread flour, GFS $25, Amazon $75.
This is winter wheat, and may soon be affected by Canadian border trucking vaccine mandates.
Roger that. Thanks for checking in!
Forgottonia IL
(Walmart, ALDI, Local stores)
What supplies are low or nonexistant in your AO?
Dog treats/food can be hard to come by. Can go weeks without the shelf being stocked. Cough meds as well.
What supplies are suprisingly available?
Guns and ammo at the LGS is in good supply. Surprisingly all stores seem to have little issue with supplies needed by the family
What supplies would you recommend that are outside the box of normal thinking?
Basic cleaning supplies (for body and clothing) and OTC drugs. Also Pet supplies.
What interruptions in public services are you seeing?
None.
What interruptions in patterns of life are you seeing?
“Covid” outbreaks happening in schools and stores cutting staff. Stores are adjusting well.
North of Atlanta GA.
Chicken is getting hard to find, pork not so much. Beef is outrageous in price and limited selections.
Pasta, canned veggies, canned soup starting to see limited selections, and fewer items on the shelves.
Flour, rice, dried beans still available, but prices reflect the “new normal”.
This is at local chains to include Sam’s club.
Received. Interesting to hear about the chicken down there because the signs up here said that the “inclement weather” has restricted the shipping of chicken products from down south…….
Texas Panhandle- Gas $2.87, up 8 cents from yesterday.
I will be “touring” many stores today (Home Depot, Walmarts, Sams etc…) specifically for this project and my own personal edification-

Has anyone told you lately how awesome you are? :D
Fantastic report! I appreciate the additional recon you plan to do as well. I will be doing the same tomorrow at a Costco, another grocery store, and a restaurant supply store.
Walmart-
Various vitamins and supplements were in low stock or out of stock
Tylenol was out of stock- Generics available
There was a noticeable shortage of 5 Quart jugs of oil. Plenty of 1 quarts but the 5 were nearly all in short supply except the store brand. Some spaces were empty.
Spray paint- Very, Very little of this at all. Just odd, leftover colors.
Canned Pet food was very limited.

No Brown Sugar. None.
No Jasmine Rice. None.
Chips were pretty sparse/Picked over
Everything else in pretty good shape.
You rock brother! I really really appreciate all the intel rolling in.
Here in NW Georgia the supply issues seem vary according to whether it is a small town or larger mid size city. Across the board Sam’s and Walmart appear to be the worst hit irrespective of location. Overall availability is better in regional or locally owned stores in smaller towns.
Yesterday in a larger college town I visited a Publix and Food Lion. Availability was comparable in both stores. Unavailable items were common to both: no frozen potatoes or Gatorade, no cream cheese, very little TP or paper towels, very very low on pasta, chicken, sausage, and bacon. Also low on sugar and some frozen items. Canned good availability was mostly decent.
It’s the worst I’ve seen it in two years, and the holes on the shelves get larger every day. Employees at booth stores stated that they expected it to get worse. The gaps started appearing in October in my AO. Some products I used to buy have just disappeared, like they never even existed.
Thanks for the report! I have been hearing that the cream cheese shortage is a real thing, but that is one thing we have in super abundance up here.
Probably because they know if we can’t put cream cheese on our bagels, the whole NE might riot…….
Cream cheese has been virtually unavailable here since November. Apparently all cream cheese products have their origin from one big central processor, and that processor suffered a cyber attack in October, just before the height of the peak production period for the holidays.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the heads up! I will stock up on some here while it is plentiful
Chicken and Gatorade have been difficult to find for months. I had to go to 3 different stores and sometimes there’s literally 3 packages of chix. 90% lean ground beef is limited and price has jumped a lot. I talked to employees at Fresh Thyme and they said some days the trucks just don’t show up. They haven’t had chicken for 2 weeks.
Chicken seems to be the common response everywhere….
Thanks for the report!
Should we include comments on ammo availability and price here? I still budget every month for storage food and ammo, but it’s gotten a lot harder.
I am seeing mixed availability here in NW GA, with prices across the board being very high. Generally though, it’s out there if you ‘re willing to pay the price.
My wife actually monitors it more than I do. She is always trying to find a deal, but it’s been a while since she found one.
My big Christmas present from her this year? 2000 rounds of IMI 77 grain 5.56. She’s a great wife!
Sure! Feel free to include info on ammo here.
Geez, someone sure loves you :)
This supply chain post is from a long-standing prepper blog, Rural Revolution. She posts the sitrep in North Idaho. The comments are interesting also.
http://www.rural-revolution.com/2022/01/trip-to-city.html
In SE Iowa, things fairly normal with a few revolving exceptions. Aldi well stocked with things to the normal level for the most part, seems to be lagging behind W-M with price increases but there is an uptick noticeable to price watchers.
Things in short supply are fresh plums, blueberries, roma tomatoes; W-M completely out of these items yesterday afternoon. I don’t use a Keurig, but the whole section at W-M is bare of the cups that machine uses.
Whole hams are priced at normal, all processed lunch meat seems to be down in selection and up in cost. Chicken supply here decent, seeing larger packages of thighs and legs than normal, less of the bone in, skin on split breasts but glazed breast tenders frozen in a bag are in good supply and little price increase.
Gatoraid, flour, bottled water are all in good supply, mention that because I have seen others have experienced shortages elsewhere.
Thanks for the report!!
Northshore O-HI-O (Ashtabula to Toledo to Akron) We shop at Giant Eagle, MEIJERS, ACME Fresh Foods, ALDI, Marcs, Heinens, Costco, Menards, and WallyWorld.
Beef=2nd or 3rd mortgage on home OR your first-born, prices sky-high. An endcap had HUGE supply of beef–read the label: “PRODUCT OF XYZ Country,” no one touched it.
Pork=most cuts available at most stores, reasonable prices with good supply.
Chicken=a whole lot here, but even the so-called “better ones” have tough, fibrous meat these days. Our protein meat of choice since it’s a decent price. Good jaw workout.
Turkey=came and went for Thanksgiving. Very little around except for the ground up stuff.
Fish=Seems to be plentiful but at very high prices. Best deal–fresh salmon. Canned tuna and sardines cheap.
Rice=bulk bags 25/50 pounders finally back in stock at COSTCO–great deals.
Oatmeal=snagged a killer deal at Menards=5lbs for $2 vacuum packed pouches. Bought all they had in stock; then either dry-canned ’em in Mason jars or vacuum sealed pouches with O2 absorbers on top and desiccant packs on bottom. Had 2 rolls of 25 foot vacuum rolls I use with my FoodSaver unit (worth its weight in gold!)
Flour and sugar=giveaway prices. I don’t get it. $1.89 a 4 pounder.
Pasta=same thing. plentiful here at $1.00/lb and store brand sauce $1.00.
Bread=store bought–prices sky high. a rye bread that was $3 now $5.50 AND the loaves they are baking are like 50-60% of former ones.
Butter=decent supplies at $2/lb. Ghee at ALDI cheap as well.
Bottled Water=cheap and plentiful. 4 cases for $10 store brands.
Coffee=quantities good, but prices are wild. one week $4.99, next week $9.99 from the same shelf and lots.
Pet Food=prices sky high–both wet and dry. we’re buying up case lots and the better-brand 50 lb dry bags. our K9s deserve it–best “burglar alarms” that we have!
Hay=well, y’all know the deal in Winter. if you haven’t put hay up, you’re gonna pay through the nose AND have trouble finding good alfalfa bales. Same with bedding/shavings. The local racetracks here pull up in semis, grab the whole pile at the lumber outfits here and you and your MT p/u are SOL. PS A small bottle of “good cheer” given to the gatekeeper at the lumberyard with a kind word: “Call me an hour afore the racetrack semi gets here for shavings,” always seems to work! [a trick I learned from my ethnic buddies! Poles, Irish, Scots, and Italians. all well-armed, prepared and gtg, btw!]
Neighbors here=98% with their heads in the sand. my casual comments: “Might be a good time to stock up of necessaries” is met with “Stores here are open 24/7! Your tin foil hat is showing!” Even Families that I go to Church with every Sunday that I try to counsel: “2,000 calories and day + a gallon of potable water per person” chuckle at me.
…so be it….
over and out
~ 73.
Fantastic report!! I appreciate it being so in depth.
This actually made my laugh out loud: “Beef=2nd or 3rd mortgage on home OR your first-born, prices sky-high. An endcap had HUGE supply of beef–read the label: “PRODUCT OF XYZ Country,” no one touched it.”
I see the same things here with regards to people I know. Normalcy bias is a hell of a thing to overcome!
Those picturers.
Piss me off! PISS ME OFF.
Absolutely No Need. NONE.
I hope dc is left A smoking crater.
Midcoast Maine :
Unavailable- About the only resource that is hard to find is ammo at walmrt. Seems like they do not even attempt to restock since 2020. The hunting/fishing stores do get it in and it goes fast, but they seem to be gouging on the price. I have switched to ordering what i want online and the delivery trucks have it here in a few days. Gold and silver coins are under a lot of buying pressure and the shops are always busy. For the moment you can still find something although it may not be what you went in looking for. I hear covid tests are hard to find, but I have no use for them myself. Gasoline is $3.35.
Surprisingly available- Firewood, propane, most groceries, Outside the box? Aside from firewood, PM’s, ammo, and food, I am picking up barbed wire at tractor supply and fence posts to fortify my property. I seem to be the only man in the state buying fencing in the winter.
Interruptions in public services- Yes, the schools are on and off and some gone remote. Some urban commies who own eateries in the big city of Portland are circulating a petition for a city vaxx mandate against their customers. That little bit of virtue signaling should put them out of business in short order. The State militia had a limited callup to help man the allegedly overwhelmed hospitals. The chinapox cases are at a record level here despite one of the highest vaxx rates in the country. We are expected to believe the hospital cases are all unvaxxed and that it has nothing to do with firing healhcare workers who would not take the shots. They are re-opening temporary testing and vaxx clinics during this surge, as if any of that will change anything.
Interruptions in patterns of life- None really except pandemic related as noted above.
I can verify all of what you said and concur with you, Mike. Midcoast Mainer, myself. I concur with other posters about chicken being unavailable. I get ours from a local butcher for about $3.99/lb. We’ve been lucky on that front. I concur with your assessment on gas prices. I’ve noted that some places limit your card purchases for gas (i.e. $50 for 90 octane, ethanol-free gas and then the pump shuts off.) Prior to the last snowstorm, Hannaford (Equivalent to Kroger, Aldi, Publix) in my AO was completely out of eggs, orange juice, carrots and nearly out of cat food.
Portland is another planet as far as I am concerned. Good for a visit for specific things (EMS, Cabellas, LL Bean in Freeport and Portland has a Sierra Trading Post now.) but I can’t tolerate the woke cult nonsense. (I swear, those people sniff their own farts out of champagne flutes.) And downtown is a bloody freak-show.
Good to know there are others out there F.E. I think Maine is a good place to be for the coming storm no matter what form it ends up taking. Our local threats are much smaller in scale and the nearest city over a million in population is at least 5 days hard walking away. One item Ii would add to my previous post is the observation that nautical oil lamps are being cleaned up in the boat chandleries. The good ones are expensive and they usually sit around on the shelves forever.
Ammunition- Walmarts & Local Pawn & Gun
.22 Ammo is available at the local Walmarts regularly and at reasonable prices- Federal Automatch, most common, $21/325- Much better than online prices and not much higher than in the recent past.
Hunting ammo at Walmart- Spotty but prices are reasonable- have seen .30-30, .30-06 and .270 in the last 2-3 weeks- typical prices- $20 something a box. Shotgun ammo- hit and miss- Usually, if you hit the Store a few times a week you can find Federal or Winchester 12’s and 20’s- “loss leader” type dove loads, 8 shot, for $7-8/box.
Pawn & Gun Shop- (These guys sell suppressors, have a full time gunsmith etc…sell hundreds of “black guns” and pistols yearly)
Very little .22 ammo and nearly 10 cents a round for what they have. 9mm & 5.56 are available but they limit quantities and it’s expensive- 9mm ball is $25/box. 5.56 is $8 a box or more- ball. They have limited supplies of foreign made buckshot- Spartan!
They are very well stocked on Glock pistols, many other brands though seem spotty with few models available. Not a lot of Ruger pistols in particular. I have seen a large uptick in USED pistols and rifles in the back room- people who have recently taken out loans on stuff they bought in 2020 and 2021- not a good sign in terms of the overall economic picture….. Also seeing used AR15’s pretty regularly on their shelves now.
Since November, I have traveled between Kansas City MO and Sioux City IA. I have seen several stores with empty shelves or partial empty shelves. Even Walmart, where they pride themselves on never a bare spot.
Today, where I work shut down an entire shift due to supply chain issues regarding glue in this instance. That’s hundreds of people without a paycheck for today Jan 14, 2022. A further note, same company stopped mandatory overtime on Saturdays. Now it is Mon thru Friday 5 day work week being the point.
Geez. Ripple effect economically. Thanks for the report!
Houston, TX – HEB Grocery
What supplies are low or nonexistent in your AO? – There were noticeable blank spots in the shelves, but I could not discern any themes in the stock outages – a big chest freezer had pork roasts arranged to attempt to cover the bare spots, but the wall cooler of fresh cuts was fully stocked; there was a big hole in the middle of the cereal, but this may have been due to a special on the item; likewise, there was a large hole in the bacon/sausage section but there appeared to be plenty of other choices available. One end cap was completely bare and the sign dais it had been some kind of dip – ??? All in there was <5% of the shelf space that was empty, but it was noticeable when there was a stock outage and there was an outage in every aisle. If there is any generality it is that the outages were very specific – frozen pork butts out/ but not other cuts; Kellogg's Corn Flakes out/but not Cheerios, Wheaties and Fruit Loops; brand x bacon out/but not Wright or Jimmy Dean sausage; store brand baked chips out/but plenty of Lays and Doritos.
What supplies are surprisingly available? Everything
What interruptions in public services are you seeing? – nothing really, but I thought I was going to need a negative COVID antigen test to return to work and this is surprisingly hard to find. While there is drive-thru testing on almost every corner (slight exaggeration), they are all offering PCR tests.
What interruptions in patterns of like are you seeing? Little Lina (top county official) put the count on the highest alert schedule earlier this week. One of the guys in the office thought traffic was down because of it. I didn't notice a difference while driving around yesterday.
Excellent report sir. Thank you!
AO: southern greece
car parts: anything that’s still in stock from the past few years, is obtainable as usual. Anything else, whereas a couple years ago it might mean a week or two, ordering it from a supplier up in europe or waiting for a more central distributor in the capital to get it back in stock, now, delays for such items seem to be many months. in-country distributors dont seem to be getting stocks replenished or are only getting very limited amounts.
fuel prices: kerosene up from 38eur/18 liter can last year to 41 eur just this past week. Was 29 eur 5 years ago. gasoline now over 2eur/liter everywhere in the area, some as high as 2.20. the last station that was still under 2 i guess got a refill at the new prices and raised theirs to match. diesel 1.60-1.70.
no supply problems that i can tell except with the kerosene- whereas a couple years ago any time you went youd get some, we had been waiting almost a month for any to be available before i got any this week.
groceries/etc: some brands seem to be spottier in deliveries but the basics are available without apparent problems. prices however have gone up noticeably, maybe 10% up from last year. Ive noticed some off-brand or fake-brand things replacing some more recognizeable brands in a variety of items (ranging from chocolate to marmalades to pasta). we tend not to buy much beyond the basics so we dont pay much attention to that but ive gotten a hint of it.
Things from abroad, even from elsewhere in the EU, seem to be occasionally spotty in availability but again we dont buy much of that.
American origin items seem to be more replaced with other items often of lower quality.
American dates for example are almost never seen anymore, but israeli dates are. the small tunisian dates are always tunisian.
also, whereas up until the past couple years there was still a strong reluctance to buy anything imported from turkey (understandable here) in the past few years one sees more and more of this stuff. the corporations that own the supermarket chains etc of course dont care about such sentiments.
hardware: as with car parts one gets a general feeling that anything that’s still in stock is easy to get but that once those run down in some distributor on the mainland, that any resupply is smaller and spottier. Some items like replacement blades for a 20 inch hand bow saw, an excellent tool for cutting any wood less than 6 or 8 inches wide, are still at the same cheap price they have been for years, but when i decided i should lay up a few spares, i only found three spare blades whereas i expected to be able to find at least a dozen.
lumber: a cousin who does cabinetwork and custom woodwork for a living says that in the past year it’s been very hard to find proper dried furniture-appropriate lumber in anything bigger than the smallest dimensions. Because of stupid EU restrictions the best lumber here (good stuff like oak) comes from the US. pine/spruce mainly comes from sweden or russia. good quality marine-grade plywood is close to triple the price it was a few years ago (to think 5 years ago i made bookshelves out of the stuff!) which the main lumber supplier locally says is due to some change in regulations declaring the woods usually used for this to be off-limits for some bravo sierra climate/ecology nonsense (theyre fine with burning square miles of american forests daily in EU power plants, ground up into pellets, labelled as ‘green energy’ of course). chestnut wood, about the only proper lumber that is sourced in-country, was readily available a couple years ago even up to 8×8 inches in 4m lengths, but now seems only the 4×4 inch stuff is in stock any anything else is a special order.
ammo: here anything other than shotguns are effectively prohibited so the only ammo one ever sees is shotgun shells. anything other than 12ga is definitely a specialty item, and because large game (in greece deer or wild boar is large game) is extremely restricted anymore almost nothing bigger than #5 birdshot is ever found for sale. prices dont seem to be much higher than last year.
What supplies are low or nonexistent in your AO?
Hard to notice. Some days you can tell the truck didn’t arrive yet. Strawberries, Blueberries, stuff like that. Banana and tomatoes are plentiful. Saltine Crackers were nonexistent for 3 months are one grocery store. I would guess they just stoped trying to source them.
What supplies are surprisingly available?
Chicken, Beef, Pork.
What supplies would you recommend that are outside the box of normal thinking?
Basic Medical and Supplements come and go. The aisle for these items looks like a trailer park after a tornado.
What interruptions in public services are you seeing?
The fast food restaurants are maxed out breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They must be making a small fortune. Which explains the Chicken Shortage due in large part, I believe, to the Chicken Sandwich Wars.
Refrigerated Truck Trailers are 12 month waiting period from time of order. 12 MONTHS!
What interruptions in patterns of like are you seeing?
Everything is busy and I see high turnovers for employees at stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot. The current hires are clearly tired and overworked. And, there are more employees than ever.
If comfortable, a general idea of where you are located (vagueness is obviously fine – I mean, AP gets it lol)
Baltimore/DC area.
I live near Snack Central (Pennsylvania) and There is a lot of chicken in MD. No shortage of junk foods.
In reference to Ammo Supplies. The local Bass Pro Shop was stocked with 5.56 and 40 caliber. Some 9mm and zero 20 gauge.
Plenty of Bird Loads for 12 gauge and Deer Slugs for 12 Gauge.
They had a whole aisle of .308 Winchester Ball. A veritable mountain of ammo.
All of it the same brand. Like a scene from a Venezuelan or Cuban Grocery Store.
Just got back from Wallyworld (location is in between Denver and Colorado Springs).
1. Chicken breasts were the only thing that were close to being wiped out (there were only three packs left, but there were plenty of chicken thighs).
2. Bottled water, Gatorade, pasta, and beef were all in decent supply (just limited choices in brand and/or variety).
3. I’ve been stockpiling different adhesives (super glue, blue loctite, epoxy, duct tape, etc) since I have a feeling the precursor chemicals required to produce those items are going to be only intermittently available (like natural gas availability leading to fertilizer price spikes).
4. I haven’t personally witnessed any public service interruptions, but the local news has reported that RTD (Denver public transit) doesn’t have the drivers to staff all the bus and train routes.
5. Some of my wife’s friends (and their young children) are back in hiding due to their fear of Omicron. Thankfully our whole family had Delta back in August (including our two little kids), and it was a big nothingburger so my wife is still going out and doing things with the kids.
I need to go out yet, but a tidbit from Idaho – During this Fall’s harvest, any fruit that touched the ground was considered ‘contaminated’ with rabid-19 and was left there to rot. I drive by those orchards every week and the amount of rotting apples is substantial. I wonder how many similar rules in other states have been implemented.
Went to a Kroger in East Peoria, Il. I only walked a few aisles, cereal was missing about a quarter of the stuff, coffee was missing about same amount, and veggies were thin.
