supply runs
Hauling needed goods
Supply runs are trips made specifically to obtain necessary items—food, ammunition, medical equipment, or other essentials.
The term comes from military and emergency contexts where resupply requires venturing out: We need to make a supply run before the storm hits.
In everyday use, it's any errand to stock up: I'm doing a supply run to Costco.
