Hey.. btw are you the same Az_Grammy that posts on TB2K?<<<
NO....and I rarely read there, unless a link happens to take me there.
I have limited use of my eyes, so they never last long enough to read all I want at Free Republic.
Once in a while I answer a question at one of the Yahoo Groups, but not as often as I should.
I think we should always have several months of survival supplies, have already been there and lived that one.
One morning about 10 am, my husband came home from work and said “can you take me to the doctor? I think I am having a heart attack”.
It was 2 years before he could work again. And we lived in a town of 200, with few jobs for women, I have always been thankful for my stockpiled food.
Do keep us aware of what is going on in your area, that will be as close as I come to knowing what is going on in mine.
I had a letter from an old friend today, who says he is ordering for his storage again from WaltonFeed.com, also where I have shopped for storage food, Don just placed an order there in the last 6 months and if he is worried, so am I, as he is a wise man.
Laughing and thinking of his cussing letter that will come when he finds out how long it will take to get the new order from them.
During the run up to Y2K, they were up to 2 years behind on orders, the supplies simply were not to be had.
For me, when I first got sick and quit driving and relied on them for my daily food and let them know, they were shipping to me the day the order came and not even waiting for a personal check to clear......LOL, so of course, I do not bother with looking at other companies, I like their food and trust them to do the best they can.
In my wandering around on the internet, I am still finding that most of the bonus checks are being spent for food and equipment for canning.....but of course there are many who are using it to go on vacations to other countries.....
If I had to wait for a bonus for a vacation trip, I would go and camp in the back yard.
Any way that it goes, we are in for a hunkerdown year or 3.
Ahh OK just wondering because one of the members over there is named AzGrammy.
Anyway I agree with you on having stored food.. some may think its nuts.. but we are well into having at the last a years worth of food AND supplies stored.
Another great resource I have found is dollar stores.. great places to stock up on soaps, bleach, cleaners, extra food and such.. people never think about them but they are good.
I too have been hearing about the shortages on storage foods.. I normally order from Emergency Essentials but they are out of some things I wanted as well. Thankfully I stocked up before hand so I am not at a total loss. I will have to check into WaltonFeed.com
I will keep an eye out for whatever is going on in the stores here.. I did a quick trip to Walmart today and rice was low (they are no longer selling 20 lb bags) just 10 lbs and 1lb bags were left. Cooking oils were also pretty low and beans were wiped out.. even the large 20lb packs.
The good news is I may get to visit a Mormon cannery soon (friend is going to take me as a guest) so that will be very cool.. for extra stock.
I know where my stimulus check is going.. :) More preps!
