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!

We have 2 of the dollar stores and I try to not buy food from them.

My sister came last month and almost all the dollar store foods were over the hill and not eatable.

She threw out 3 jars of mayonaise that were not that old, one only a month or so and also salad dressings, you could smell that they were rancid.

But I do like their cola at 50 cents for a 2 liter bottle.

Yes, do visit the Mormon cannery, you will benefit from it.

I have not been to one, but my Mormon friends over the years kept me up to date and ordered for me.

Many people will be buying foods and that is good, now to get them to cook them and use them.

I have a total Walton Feed.com fan, I found them by accident.

Ten years ago, Excite.com had a program called Voyeur, it displayed the last requested ‘searches’ on their search engine.

LOL, I learned that fools think they can hide the fact that they are looking for porn with lady like words and more phrases than even I knew existed for porn.

But it also had all the ‘other’ searches and I was new to the internet and learning how to get around.

Someone searched for ‘bulk storage food’ , and I clicked to see what it was they were searching for.

Fell in love with Walton’s how to pages and links.

Then set out to check them out and found that they are linked in most Mormon sites and LOL, also found good Mormon cooking group and placed an order with Walton’s.

I have never been sorry and they will fix it if there is a mistake.

Once, I ordered a bag of sliced dehydrated potatoes, they were out and as a substitution, they shipped me the potatoes in 25 cans, many times the cost of what I had ordered and a real blessing, as some are still here, safely sealed, waiting their turn.

I mainly order the bags of things at Walton, as I am not able to buy the super storage foods, except the ones that I used daily.

Stay safe and keep alert.
