What Shortages are You Seeing?

[WVDragonlady]

It is by your birthday.

Thats how it works here for SS. We get ours at the end of the month because they went by hubby's birthdate. Mine is at the beginning of a month.
I don't know if the ebt cards work different or not. We're not there yet thankfully

Auctions are horrible. If you’re lucky, you can buy back your stuff. Can you advertise and sell your meat to private buyers?
Last month eggs went for 10 cents a dozen, 2 weeks in a row. Price did go up some, to 75 cents, but it’s not the farmers making anything. Cartons cost money, too.
Another note on eggs. With the bird flu, the county health department has told local farmers that they can not sell eggs to the public, like from the spare refrigerator in the garage. There is no confirmed case for over 400 miles. I have no idea what’s happening to all the eggs around here that now have no purpose, but there are lots of eggs involved.

IDK if this loophole would work in this situation, but often you can sell items for "pet food", that can't be sold for "human consumption". I know that's how we got our raw milk back in the day.

Two days ago I saw five large Bratwurst on sale was $5.99- now $3.99.
A friend called us today to say they had drop the price from $3.99 to $0.99, with my discount I got them for $0.89.
I only bought 32 packs, told a lady at checkout & she ran back to get six packs.
So tomorrow, the freezer will be fill of $5.99 brats at Kroger.

My brother in KY said there arent any saltines crackers to be found.

I wanted to take them all, but preppers are not hoarders, so I left more than I took & told other people in the store about the sale.

I think I have several boxes in the kitchen pantry.
Maybe 4 or 5 boxes of saltines, 4 boxes of unsalted crackers.
Going to be using some for Mackeral cakes.

Stores here are mostly stocked, prices are higher and seems like that every time I go it costs a bit more. Pasta was skimpy and has been for awhile now. There was a few choices, so it's not empty but not filled either, couple of other items like that too but don't remember off hand what they were. Didn't see any bare shelves

One thing I've noticed, the cheaper brands or store brands are less stocked than name brand items.. Anyone else notice this??

Kroger was fully stocked too. DW found 32 zo can tomatoes for $0.59 a can got six.
I do not like can tomatoes, I want fresh, but they work in soup & stews, also chili.

A week ago, the local grocery store sold eggs for about 65 cents per half dozen. Yesterday, a half dozen was up to $1.85.

i just listened to his latest report--that guy is good.

he talked of this today biden admin taking another' 4 million acres farmland s out of commission for 'conservation and to reduce co2 emissions. farmers being paid to not plant. farmers are begging for acres to be opened up to plant whatever they can for the food shortage crisis ut joebamma says no, we got to save the planet.

 

[Camalot]

No crackers here in Southeastern, Oklahoma. My cousin in Modesto called and he man works in a grocery store there and there are no crackers there either. I have also heard jello and canned biscuits are in short supply here as well.

 

[Amish Heart]

Canned biscuits are hit or miss here, as well as distilled water.
Ice Age Farmer asked a good question: When Joe said there would be food shortages, why did he not tell people to plant victory gardens? What's his problem?

 

[Bacpacker]

Yes it is.

Watched a couple of his vids this week.

Joe wants things as bad as possible, energy prices, food, just about everything that isn't short in supply. The left wants the US torn apart

 

[Amish Heart]

Yep. So that they can Build Back Better.
Retarded.

Here in southern Oregon we have a relatively new large grocery stores called Winco, pretty good place for decent prices, but they are getting lots of empty shelves and they have changed their store brand soda crackers to "Lil' Dutch Maid", we always read ingredient labels and what popped up as concerning was Palm oil and/or Interesterified Soybean Oil, that's not in the house brand and it doesn't sound all the good either, anyway lots of empty spaces on shelves in other grocery stores we go to, also shelves stacked in certain ways to make them look like there is more than there really is, I've seen this done on ammo shelves, but it's much harder to hide because of specific calibers we look for that may not be there and they can't hide that.

 

[UrbanHunter]

Made the weekly visit to the grocery store, they had a few holes in the produce department, but not as bad as in the past; only about 10% down. The chicken and meat departments were 1 layer thin and you could see some area with the bottom of the display showing, I would say they were about 40% down from "normal", prices were just the new normally high. Sea food with well stocked and prices didn't seem that bad. Overall I have to say we're good here.....

I did notice that they still have those high high priced leg of lamb in stock, I think once things go beyond a certain price level they just rot on the shelf....

 

[elkhound]

going to put this here instead of breadbasket thread in news section...3-25-22...i posted somewhere on forum that weeks ago lebanon was rationing flour.update here.they shoulda gotten to work and fixed the port and got to filling grain silos back.those silos held 80% of lebanon food reserves..thats a national security issue...has the entire planet gone STUPID !! or what !!

last week on farm report they said govt is trying to do something legal wise to allow farmers with the 4million reserve acres to plant it this year and not get fined for doing so.i just dont know if we have resources..seed and fertilizer to plant those extra acres. we going to be lucky to get acres fertilized we got planned now...we shall see in time.

Here in the state capital of montana (35K people with another 35K in the reginal service area) the local wal mart ran out of pasta today and the clerk didn't know when any more is coming in. People have gone from not concerned about prepping to suddenly worried and questioning.

 

[LadyLocust]

Butter is available but up $1/lb from former price.
Haven't seen dist. white vinegar at a reasonable price for a while & out in some places.

 

[Amish Heart]

Butter prices are making me mad. I did buy a few lbs of margerine for cooking, threw that in the freezer. I have butter in the freezer, too, but am remember that Aldi had it for $1.98 a lb not too long ago. Just picked up some more raw milk from my cousins, and thinking I'll skim off the cream and make my own.

 

[ClemKadiddlehopper]

Even with the exchange rate, I would kill to have your high prices.

Last year, butter was $4 US. Now it is $5.49 US a lb.

Over the course of last year, I put 100 lbs in the freezer. Hubby thought I was nuts, but I have subsequently saved around $250.00. Now, not only has it almost doubled in price, but it is scarce as well. I am now just buying replacements and if I can't do that, I still got it covered for awhile.
