Daniels notes that shortages will affect various products at different times, but you don't need to panic buy. "The reality is, in-stock percentages are normally around 95%. Even before COVID, there were products that might sell out. Now, it's a little under 90%," he says. "There are other alternatives to going to the grocery store – such as shopping online. It's not like you can't find anything. Just be a little flexible, as we work through some of these challenges, which will be short-term in nature. It's certainly something we can manage through."
