We don't import toilet paper, so panic buying it because of the port strike won't help. But there are other items that could soon vanish.

During her lunch break on Tuesday – the day 45,000 East Coast port workers went on strike – Shayna Turbovsky went to the grocery store to stock up on meat, rice, beans, bananas and toilet paper. She also filled up her gas tank and plans to keep it topped off.
