    It might surprise you, but stuff I already have is unaffected by the recent increase in fuel costs.

      Transportation costs will rise throughout the entire supply chain, including consumables/perishables, it will affect you unless you’re self sufficient for those too.

        It’ll undoubtedly have some effect, but I’m not seeing any difference at the pump, because I don’t go there.

        And I already try to buy my food locally sourced. Shorter supply chains proved to be more robust during Covid too. All this international trade with unstable parts of the world makes us more vulnerable than we need to be.
