Nobody? It’s all most people I know are talking about right now. This person needs to get out more. People are freaking out about grocery prices all over the country.
That’s the plan.
One store has sugar on sale for $1.99 for the 4lb bag which is about the best I've seen in the past two years so I'll buy a bunch and fill the 4 gal bucket I keep it in. Might just fill another bucket. I've got about 6 gallons of rice and almost as much beans.
Got 30 pea plants going in the ground this week. 24 leaf lettuce, 6 cabbage and 6 komatsuma plants started and will go in the ground in a week or two. Then refill the 72 cell seed tray with greens and more brassica. Then maters and peppers. Beans direct seeded. Grocery stores ought to have seed potatoes in a month or so. Will be planting lots of those and dig as needed all year.
Handy tip;

Ditch ref and everything after. Most other long urls can lose the question mark and everything after
I agree. I grew up at that time too.
I have been preparing for this, but it is still frightening.
This weekend I am looking to source some garden soil even if last years stock at the old price point. Before they jack all that up as more folks will attempt to grow food.
Honestly though…I am scared and trying hard not to panic already.
and they don’t even mention the various droughts around the world like in Brazil and the Western US.
Great tip.
Thank you very much!
Have a blessed Sunday
Heck - I see them at the local convenience store - slim jims, slurpees, chips, etc. for lunch on the EBT card.
“Get stuck behind one of these grifters at the checkout, and you will see how they run up a big bill.”
I’ve seen two of the darling moms with overflowing carts loading up an Escalade.
You are in GREAT shape, for Spring.
You seedling cell tray was looking great, last pic you posted.
That's what I do. I also (typically) don't buy anything I don't have a coupon for. Even that's getting harder to do since the three grocery stores near me have really cut back on the coupons.
This afternoon I'll be at my GF's home and she lives near an Amazon Fresh store. They have Progresso Soups (my favorite) for 50 cents a can LESS than anywhere else I can find it.
$1.58/can at Amazon fresh, minimum $2.09 - $2.99 everywhere else.
Yesterday the oatmeal I was used to buying at $1.99 was over $4.
This Bidenflation is insane.
25-30 mph gusts today and tomorrow but Tues will be calm with a high of 63 and partly sunny so I'll start hardening off then.
VERY nice!!
I was so proud of myself for building up a comfortable savings and possible downpayment for property even after liberals shuttered my business because muh covid. Now... It is worth nothing thanks to a single year of the dribbling chomo in chief. I have come to realize it would be better to have just been a welfare leech rather then spend the past 15 years building a business.
This is happening to so many small business owners.
Every day, another family business near me closes. Some are third and fourth generation businesses, like the Country Cupboard in Lewisburg.
Biden and Co. have deliberately set out to destroy the middle class.
It is more obvious than ever.
The solution?
I can’t say it out loud.
Yes, indeed. We were rich in many ways.
Yes you can. You must be heard
There can be no coexistence
The tyrants must be destroyed
Picky eaters get mac and cheese.
I wasn’t going to reply but I changed my mind.
I’m really sorry to hear about what happened to you.
I hope you survive and thrive in the coming months.
