Guess I’m back to stockpiling beans and rice again.

Every time I go to Walmart I buy more quart canning jars. I’ve been canning meat for long term storage.

Some of us never left.
Got another hundred dollars worth of noon-perishables yesterday, sorted and stored.

***Guess I’m back to stockpiling beans and rice again.***

I’ve dug out all my “Y2K survival” handbooks, “Backwoods Home” magazine anthologies with instructions on how to do anything, and we will be gearing up for putting in a garden next spring. Also digging out my “ccoking with food storage” recipes as reminders of what to stock up on. Luckily, one of Mr. Claret’s favorite hobbies is deer hunting. The other favorite hobby is fishing. LOL!

Not too bad an idea. Been doing that the last year + canned goods. Good investments if nothing else - over a 20% return.

Can of has at Wal-Mart $1.00 - $1.06 - $1.18 in six months. Wal-Mart brand hot salsa (a staple in my house) $1.50 - $1.68 - $1.92 in six months. etc, etc. Track any brand and type of food in your supermarket and see that inflation is at 20% or more. Another racket - less weight for the same price. Or, repackaging - 10 Wal-Mart burritos for $3.19 (was $2.98 two montha ago) now eight for $2.98 - advertised as a ROLLBACK!

The author might not be too far off.
