1. Rices

Notice there is an "s" at the end of that word! Sure, it was very helpful to have that 25-pound bag of long grain during the dark winter of lockdown, but this year, think more broadly and load in smaller amounts of various types and styles of rice:

2. Canned fish

Both canned fish and shellfish are incredibly helpful to have in your larder. Here's what's on my pantry stock-up list:

3. Beans

Yep, beans are back, and if you don't still have your stash from last year, now is the time to replenish. Buy a variety of types, both dried and canned, and the styles your family most enjoys. This year I am going long on the following:

4. Canned tomatoes

Stocking up on canned tomatoes in every style from whole peeled, to crushed, to sauce means you are just an opener away from everything from pasta sauce to tomato soup to baked dishes. Again, think variety here:

Often the difference between basic and breathtaking is just a shake or a drizzle away! Now is the time to invest in meal boosters to ensure that you can up the ante on even the simplest supper. Here's a list of some of amazing spice blends and sauces to inspire you.

6. Stocks and broths

These building blocks -- boxed stock and bone broth and bouillon powders, cubes, and pastes -- are the foundation to all the cooking you want to do all season long. From simple soups to complex sauce work, from stews and braises to risottos or pilafs, having a mix of flavors can be really useful.

7. Fresh baking supplies

There is nothing worse than baking powder or soda that no longer lift, or yeast that won't proof. And rancid nuts and pest-infested flour are the worst.

Prepping is the only way to protect yourself from shortages in 2022. With products already in short supply, January is the time to start stocking up before the shelves are empty.

Canned Food

In 2021 we saw steel skyrocket to prices comparable to 2008. The price surge came after demand for steel exploded in 2021.

The short answer is no, but your favorite beverages might be unavailable in 2022. Beverage companies have a stockpile of aluminum cans, but their stockpile is becoming dangerously low.

Bottled Water

Batteries

Popularity of electric vehicles is increasing yearly and expected to triple by 2026. Emissions regulations might also cause demand for electric vehicles to beat current predictions.

Pork and Bacon

In 2020 the shut down of the economy took farmers by surprise. Restaurants, schools and event centers were all forced to close down.

Poultry and Eggs

Like California, Massachusetts has implemented its own humane treatment of animals legislation. Massachusetts lawmakers recently passed regulations that increased the space required for hen and chicken pens.

1. Sequins

Count me in for this trend! Sequins were seen all over Chanels runway show and add a rich, glamorous look to any outfit. They’re not Vegas style sequin club dress but luxe black sequin jackets, trousers and ultra glam dresses. If sequin clothing’s out of your comfort zone, add a sequin bag to get a pared down version of this Fall trend.

2. Be Bold in These Happy Colors

The bold solid colors this Fall brighten up a grey Fall day with pops of yellow, pink and lavender worn with gold jewelry and statement earrings. This is a Fall trend to have fun with and play with new colors.

3. Chic Tailoring

4. Luxe Knitwear

This isn’t your Grandad vest but luxe knitwear. Think coord sets, fitted midi and maxi knit skirts, belted sweater dresses with strappy black heels or flat boots for Fall fashion 2021. Dior did the luxe knitwear best for FW 2021 2022.

5. Après Ski

A twist on the knit wear trend for fall fashion. This knitwear’s more patterned, colorful and cozy. Sweater vests are still on trend for Fall 2021 and great for layering for the weather in the Fall and Winter months. I’m personally skipping this trend but will embrace it via Après Ski drinks.

7. Pretty Pinks

From pale pink satin separates at Fendi to bold bright pink coats this color was one of the most seen colors for Fall 2021. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a coord set, blazer, dress or coat just make sure it’s pink for this Fall fashion 2021.

8. Puffers Coats and Quilted Jackets

While puffer coats get an airing every Winter, since 2017 they’ve been more of an annual runway staple and actually a fashion trend not just functional piece. Black was a key color and is always a classic but if you like color, now’s the time to combine the bold solid color trend with the puffer coat trend.

8 Things You Should Stock for 2021

The new year is a time to reevaluate provisions and ensure that supplies are appropriate and updated for future concerns or possibilities. As a survivalist or prepper, you are undoubtedly taking inventory and planning a supply run for 2021.

1. Bathroom Essentials

If there is anything 2020 taught disaster specialists, it’s that panic does not lead to rational decisions. In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, anxious people were panic-buying bathroom staples, like toilet paper, despite the virus not directly affecting the digestive tract.

2. Kitchen and Laundry Items

Supplies of hand sanitizer, disinfectant, dish soap, and laundry detergent were also in short supply throughout 2020. A wise prepper will make sure they do not run out of these household staples in 2021. Most of these items have a long shelf life, so stocking up for the long haul is OK.

3. Food and Water Supplies

Every new year, you should stock up on food and fresh water supplies. Food should be shelf-stable items. It would be best if you also took this time to go through your pantry and clean out any expired items or donate food nearing its expiration.

4. Self – Defense Items

Emergencies can call for self-defense. Every survivalist should have weapons on hand, and they will also need any items or products necessary for the maintenance and use of those weapons. For example, a gun requires gun oil and ammunition.

5. Hardware and Garage Essentials

A disaster can come in many varieties, so it helps to prepare for anything. Your garage should have a supply of nuts, bolts, screws, etc. It is also wise to have excess battery storage and flashlights. Keeping these items in one place means you do not have to panic-search on the eve of an emergency.

6. Entertainment and Hobby Materials

Everyone needs to have time to relax, even in an emergency. What are your hobbies? If you love to read, stock up on books and magazines. If knitting or sewing is more your thing, pick up yarn and needles. Whatever can make you happy and calm while you pass the time is essential.

Seasonal Shortages

The pandemic has caused supply chain issues and shortages in a number of different industries, from air conditioners and kitchen appliances to cars, computer chips and lumber. Due to worker shortages, overwhelmed ports, and resource demands, many products that are typically readily available have become hard to find.

Snow Blowers

If you plan to invest in a snow blower this year, it would be prudent to make your purchase before the first snowfall of the season.

Air Purifiers

Over the summer, we’ve been able to move gatherings and events outdoors to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In the colder months, however, air purifiers will be a key component in keeping indoor spaces—like classrooms and offices—safe.

Turkey

Turkey is a holiday staple in many homes for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, but retailers and distributors foresee an upcoming shortage for the 2021 season. It’s expected to impact smaller, fresh turkeys, which were popular last year as many celebrated with just their immediate families.

Patio Heaters

Last winter, patio heaters were hard to come by since so many people wanted to extend their outdoor entertaining season. If you plan to host outdoors this winter, buy an outdoor heater now before the seasonal rush.

Ice Melt

Ice melt is a winter essential for preventing slips and falls on driveways, patios, and walkways, but there’s a chance it will be sold out by the time the first snowstorm hits your area. Luckily, some of our top picks, including Branch Creek’s nontoxic, pet-friendly ice melt (available on Amazon) are still in stock.

Popular Toys

CNN sounded the alarm in August of 2021, saying that some of the country’s biggest toymakers were forecasting price increases and product shortages in the lead-up to the holiday season. Hasbro and Mattel said shoppers can expect to see 5 to 10-percent price increases on popular toys because of the higher cost of shipping and distribution.
