Yep, that’s the one. Hopefully, it doesn’t get that bad, but it does make me glad I routinely fill my gas tank when it gets to half (rather than near empty like most of humanity).

Yeah, me too. Why wait? Anytime I’m near the Costco gas station, I refill. I don’t have to wait for grocery store points to (not) add up each month. I used to do that, and then when Costco opened up closer to us (15-20 minute drive vs 1 hour drive - one way), we joined. We go that route several times a week it seems, so it’s never really out of the way. Seems to me like that membership pays for itself every year.

I’ve started not worrying about the large amounts of produce. I’ve starting giving some to my neighbors that’s extra, and now they have been returning the favor with other items that they find on special. Bartering system. This is how it will be when the SHTF, and we’re already doing it. Practicing for those days when it gets harder to feed yourselves.
