I do dehydrate foods that can be used if water and power are available, but most of my food storage is canned for the reasons you mention. We may not particularly enjoy cold food from a can, but it will keep us alive should it come to that.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-28130008373070545072021-07-27T17:25:18.869-05:002021-07-27T17:25:18.869-05:00do not know water availability in future

Doesn't take long to add up and it all helps. Thursday is grocery delivery. Friday is prepping ham and veggies. And with any kind of luck, Saturday will see food in jars. :) Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-44075439150545815492021-07-26T21:33:49.577-05:002021-07-26T21:33:49.577-05:00CW...At this point, all I want from the government...CW...At this point, all I want from the government is to be left alone, but I doubt that will happen.

I've also prepped some zucchini and yellow squash for the freezer.

Oh wait, I bet they will provide a whole new slug of mask mandates and orders to lock us up.

Inflation has arrived - big time. I just can't see any way it will get better any time soon. So yes - the feeling of the need to preserve and stock up is strong, so that's what we do. Whatever we buy this week will cost more next week, if it is available at all. That is not fearmongering. One only has to open their eyes and take a look around to see what is happening. Add to that the rumors of more lockdowns coming and the need to preserve becomes stronger.<br /><br />I am joining you in prayer for us, for our families and for our nation.

Unless a customer reads the label, they think they are getting 3 lbs. Can't complain because the bags are properly marked for the amount of chicken per bag. It is just a sneaky way of raising prices.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-30577924909346422262021-07-26T07:19:03.270-05:002021-07-26T07:19:03.270-05:00I've noticed all sorts of grocery store shenan...I've noticed all sorts of grocery store shenanigans: manufacturers changing quantities but not the packaging, last week's regular prices becoming this week's sale prices, and shelves that are being reconfigured every couple of weeks.
