Not doing anything can be just as bad.

Jane, I think HEB buys fresh meat locally and pack it themselves. Am I wrong?

Thanks....I may be PM or emailing you, soon, for advice. I have SEVERAL nice sized roasts, in the freezer that are about at their freezing expiration date.

My plan is to thaw them out, then cut/sear/can. I need to also crawl up and get my quart jars down and ready.

Last year I canned stew....using the roast chunks, fresh veggies and a little seasoning.

What I am bad about is rotation 😬

(Need to go through my meds/OTCs, etc., shelves, too.)

Yes, I believe they do. They say that on the signs over the butcher counter, anyway.

Maybe locally as in San Antonio area, then pack, then distribute to stores?

Thanks so much for posting those (VERY helpful) links.

I look forward to watching Wendy’s tutorials.

Just me here, and when I buy a loaf of bread I can’t finish it before it goes bad. I’ll freeze half the loaf.
I eat tortillas and pita bread too.

HEB always has quite a few Mexican brands.

Yes, not in every locality. I have to request lamb shanks when I want them. They use to always have them until last year. There’s a Buffalo ranch not far from here. Can buy directly from them. I guess you still can.

πŸ‘You betcha. I really enjoyed the video of Wendy. They are the reason I started pressure canning meats a few years ago.

I keep my bread in the Refrigerator. No room in the freezer. I read an article one time about a lady who dehydrated her bread and packed her bread away to make it shelf stable. She lived in a remote location and so had several months worth on the shelf.

When ready to eat it, she placed it on a rack above a pot of hot water or she’d just put butter on it and eat it - like a cracker. Her grandkids called it cake bread when she steamed it.

I only can the meat and broth.

I don’t care for the way a lot of the veggies pressure can so I use the broth and meat and add the veggies fresh.

Excellent link!

Thank you!

I never thought of vacuum sealing M&M’s.

I started freezing most of my bread too. I put a layer of wax paper every 2 slices, so I can take out what I need without thawing the whole bag.

Toasting frozen bread works surprisingly well. Just need to adjust the setting on the toaster when I do.

πŸ‘Ha. We don’t bother to vacuum seal that kind of stuff, because it disappears too quickly around here. Although, maybe a hidden stash would work? LOL

Don’t forget about the resin shortage. Even if they can move the product they are lacking containers. Those companies that survived the pandemic relatively well are starting to crash and burn because of this.

Amen. I work in plastic distribution. Not only can I not buy inventory...I'm having a very hard time shipping what I do have. Pallets are scarce, packing supplies are hit or miss too.

I just found out that an order I placed 16 weeks ago is now late because it's been sitting at an LTL terminal in Chicago for the last two weeks because they can't find drivers.

We're passing along price increases where we can, but price increases in materials are going to be nothing compared to increases due to freight charges. I've been in the industry for 30 years and have never seen anything even remotely like the situation we have now.
