This one I can agree with.

So can I.

I think more and more people want to try survival preps, the hand writing is on the wall.

I also believe that many will never tell anyone that they are doing survival preps. I imagine they would think that people would think that they were 'weird'. Lol

Y2K was only a training lesson.

Again, I agree.

Hubby went grocery shopping (he can stretch a dollar farther than I can) and he said my coffee grounds he bought last week cost $6.18 pound. Today it cost him $8.18 for the same bag. That is a huge increase.

I grabbed this off a Frugal's forum thread.

We received this email from Mountain House a few minutes ago:

Quote:
Wendy, Mountain House #10 can sales have been very high so far this year. Up to this point Oregon Freeze Dry has been able to meet this increased level and we have not had to limit production in the Food Storage market segment. As you may or may not know, Oregon Freeze Dry*s business includes several market segments. Most of these market segments are now receiving orders at an increased rate as well; with the biggest surge in Government sales for freeze dried food products going to the troops.

Given these market trends it will be necessary to cap #10 can production now and to continue to do so for at least the next several months. We are working directly with Senior Management and Production Planning Groups, and they have given us the quantities to be allocated to #10 can production.

Based on today's outlook, new orders placed now could take up to 4 weeks to ship. However, starting in May please prepare for lead times of up to 12 weeks. We will keep you informed, as new information is made available to us as to when we We are maintaining high raw material inventories so as soon as freeze-drying capacity is available we can increase production.

This is going to be a difficult time for all of us and adds lots of extra steps (and stress) for us to enter, track and process orders. I know this will be difficult time for you as well, and I am very sorry. I appreciate your help getting us through this difficult time as smoothly as possible.

Thank you,

Did you see post 1105 above, LOL, she talks of shrinking packages.

I checked my coffee can, the large one, has shrunk from 3 pounds to 2 pounds 2 ounces and costs more than I paid for 3 pounds, not that many years ago.

I know that I have had to alter the shopping list and it is a hardship, for Scott, as he is a ‘name brand ‘ buyer, by habit and
I am not.
