How to shop during a crisis

In this podcast episode, experts share insights on how to navigate shopping during supply chain disruptions. Rather than succumbing to panic buying, they recommend a more deliberate approach. Consider whether the product is made domestically, which can lessen the effects of import challenges, and think about whether the disruption was anticipated, giving companies a chance to prepare. It's also important to assess your actual needs. While unexpected events like natural disasters may justify some stockpiling, logistics professionals and businesses are actively working to address shortages. Remember, excessive panic buying can often make the situation worse.
