Naturally it's going to come directly from the gas shortage: Staple foods. Rice, sugar, flour, et all.
Inflation is way ahead of the market, the market has to catch up, but they want an excuse. Wood prices and steel prices are NOT coming back down anytime soon, because they are closer to their true value in our now worthless dollar. Everything else has to come up, and they want a boogieman to blame it only.
Notice your fist list was all staples in our modern economy, and your second list was just kind of random stuff?
Toilet paper
Hand Sanitizer
Bleach
Virus related panic supplies.
Mason Jars
Prep related panic supplies.
"Ketchup" --> failed to be depleted
Didn't work because it wasn't real. Just a fake internet panic.
Then we get into seeing actual inflation beginning:
Lumber (prices up 400%)
Basic foundational staple of society and infrastructure. You also forgot one: Steel prices have also skyrocketed.
Gas
Corn (prices up 50%)
"Computer chips"
Beef
Something like 80% of the corn grown is for feed crop, so beef isn't done rising. "Computer chip crisis" has actually been going on for a decade, it's mostly tracing back to china shenanigans, but it's not exactly a current crisis, just getting more air time now.
See the thread though? Staples. All of them. All the staples that come from those things and about to react. The next targeted panics will likely be flour, sugar and rice, because no one seems to have figured out that lack of gas means failing supply lines and depleted grocery stores very soon.
