I could see that happening with a portion of the population. Some will just pay anyway, and those on welfare will demand that they get more money for food stamps.
As so as the ground thaws out, I'm rototilling up about 50% more garden space. We don't have a grocery store within 15 miles of us and I can't afford the gas to run out for any little thing. If we don't have it, we'll have to do without.
There are some who will just take out another credit card and go on........but many of us have already had to tighten our shopping lists.
I used a cheap food dehydrator from Walmart, one year for squash and other things in the garden.........it was on sale for about $30. about this time of the year.
I like squash and cabbage type vegs in my soups.
I also have a homemade dehydrator, cabinet style.
Due to health, I can’t garden, but I miss it and miss the taste of fresh foods that I grew.
Yes, grow a big garden and can or dehydrate all you can and win brownie points for all that you give away.
There are so many homeless people today, that donating it to the local shelters is a good way to insure that you will have a bumper crop.
When you drop the seeds in the ground, LOL, think of me, I always thought to myself that I was not ‘seeing’ tiny seeds, but that in my minds eye, I saw a full bearing plant.
I love seeds, they contain one of God’s miracle gifts to us.
