Only worry about what you can control!
We might have come early to the party on Y2k, but we are ready for 2022. We seriously will wake up one morning and find out the bottom really did fall completely out while we were sleeping. Not long to wait now kids!

Day by day
This info from Augason is posted in several places on the forum now, and it's good to spread it far and wide.

I walked into our spare room/pantry/storage room, and figured I could probably squeeze a little more in as long as I stack it on the floor next to the storage racks.

I just placed an order online for several cases of items at the LDS store online:

Food Storage | United States Store (churchofjesuschrist.org)

I can't say enough good things about these folks. My dear niece, who married into an LDS (now Church of Jesus Christ) family, became a member, and passed about a decade ago, taught us about the Church's food storage program over 30 years ago. She also got us several items to try from the cannery back when they still did the ward canning sessions. From her I first learned about Emergency Essentials (beprepared.com), which I believe is now part of the Augason family. I didn't see any notice about delays there. The LDS store is out of stock on some items, but some are still in stock. They are extremely helpful, and we've always been pleased with their products.

If you are lucky enough to have an LDS store near you, double check their hours and don't hesitate to visit. Our nearest one is a good 2+ hrs away, but it's worth a trip and we usually go a few times a year. I would not be surprised if they limit their sales to LDS member only, but to my knowledge it hasn't happened yet. They really do believe in helping everyone prepare, not just their own members.

Don't wait, folks, this is becoming beyond serious now, and it's real.

Posting to my own post above - just to let folks know that the LDS folks can be really fast. The order I placed above on Saturday was delivered yesterday (Thursday). Two cases each with 6 #10 cans, none are dented and that was fast, especially given the mess with delivery trucks (this was FedEx Ground). God bless the LDS folks, they really do a great service.
