I’ve noticed our local gro has HUGE bags of rice now.
My late husband was always “stocking” canned and boxed food. After he passed away I began reading expiration dates. Canned food is not good over 10 years and I would not have used all the canned food he had. I just threw it out after a large can of Pineapple juice exploded and made the biggest mess. I keep just enough Flour & meal to make breads and butter & milk from a local dairy. I shop for the things I eat every two weeks. I went on shares with a garden and find that I go and gather from it and give it to my son’s family. I just don’t like veggies. The local Piggy Wiggly stays fairly well stocked.
