I have probably a hundred jars, probably many more, but I have fell in love with the 8oz jars and the 24oz jars and have bought some new ones in the last year.

“what is the BEST and easiest gas can to buy? my husband hates the spouts.”

best bet is look for used at flea markets, habitat for humanity etc. ... unfortunately, used gas cans are like gold ...

the other option is to convert unworkable spouts with a kit:

Battery operated gas can pump means no more lift and pour all over everywhere. Works well and you only need one.

Work on reducing debt as you’re stockpiling canned beans. I’m as serious as a heart attack on that ONE prepper piece of advice.

Gonna 2nd that bit of advice.

I see debt fueling the sheepish behavior. The more debt, the fewer options.

“...reducing debt...”

At some point, people will drop their cable TV,
their internet service, and their cell phones,
just so they can afford to buy chicken.

"The total personal debt in the U.S. is at an all-time high of $14.96 trillion. The average American debt (per U.S. adult) is $58,604 and 77% of American households have at least some type of debt."

How ANYONE thinks this is sustainable is beyond me! This is NO WAY to run a country! It's a trap! Don't be a part of this stupidity!

“At some point, people will drop their cable TV, their internet service, and their cell phones, just so they can afford to buy chicken.”

HOWEVER, the last things they’ll give up will be gambling, smokes, liquor and firearms.

Invest accordingly. ;)
