SUMMARY: A toilet paper shortage is returning in Tupelo, prompting panic buying due to a port strike affecting supplies. Sam’s Club is out of toilet paper, and local Walmart Supercenters report low stock. While the strike is impacting some products, experts advise not to panic, as most U.S. toilet paper comes from domestic factories, so supply remains stable unless panic buying continues. Customers expressed surprise at the empty shelves, and while some local grocery chains report no supply issues, there are concerns about potential food shortages, including bananas, which are primarily imported.

Many box stores across the country are dealing with something last seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.
