I see no end to price inflation for groceries.
The current high prices for grains now being harvested have not been ‘baked into’ the prices for all of the groceries based on grains being an input cost.
So my plan has been to buy as much ‘non-perishable’ items as possible and keep my pantry very overfilled.
Conservative Tree House posted a great chart today on inflation. If FReepers had stocked up on non-perishables in August 2021, they would have saved 23.5% vs buying those same groceries in August 2022.

I’m jealous. Our space for storing food is so pitiful that finding space for two 5-lb. bags of cat food is a big deal. I worry that when the SHTF we’ll be left high and dry.
