Double edged sword with that. Lots of calves on the ground. But they are so dry from the winter and little to no precip.

Amazing how they're making the prediction of "Famine by fall" come true. a quick zap from HAARP or some other atmosphere heater, and a brand new bio-engineered bug and here we go! Look out for an outbreak of wheat rust too. It is time people of faith or power to direct their intent/prayers toward this thing and the people behind it and get busy! pour your need into it!

local smnall town walmart---no rice bags of any size. almost no pasta. very little eggs. little chi9cken of any kind, but i did get a turkey breast to save for thanskgiving and some pork shoulder to make bbq to can very little b4ead - bagel selection. canned goods all fronted on shelves, nothing behind first layer.

and---and---gasp-----no mint chocolate chip ice cream of any kind
in 2 different stores
we are doomed

ive never seen no bags of rice in the store before

 

[Magus]

Now that you mention it, there's a few exotic flavors missing here like moose tracks, but chocolate mint I can help you with.
Mint jelly is still available, so mix in a spoonful or two in regular chocolate, or crush a couple of Altoids on top. Might even
put mint cookies into the mix. experiment, think, have fun beating them!

Plenty of rice and pasta here except for Alfredo flavored chef Boyardee.
I'm thinking you can can rice like anything else?

I saw the no bags of rice at my local Lidl last week. The Stop & Shop was a little better stocked on it but it was primarily par-boiled and small packaging.

russians weaponizing food.

Food has always been a weapon. In WWII the wolf packs tried to sink the food going to England to starve them out. We had our victory gardens as did the British to help defend our countries. Back in the day castles would be surrounded and starved out. Shermans march through the South he stole or destroyed crops. Crops like potatoes have been planted because they are harder to destroy, completely, as compared to wheat.

Here here, come with me dear. Now here is your vanilla icecream, the mini chocolate chips and a fresh bottle of creme de menthe. Have as much as you like, just don't ask me how I knew where this place was

I don't know what options you have, but yesterday I was in a Safeway that I hadn't been in in a while and it seemed very well stocked, while one closer to home has had less food lately. I wonder how two stores in the same chain, about 5 miles apart can be so different.

There's no shortages, the B-tards are doing this on purpose!

 

[dademoss]

No frozen chicken patties, giant jars of store brand peanut butter, or fudgecicles.

Luckily it's spring, the ladies in the coop are covering the egg shortage, been 9 years since we bought eggs

 

[Amish Heart]

Our Aldi keeps bringing out more flats of Peanut Butter, small jars of Aldi brand. But no one is buying them at $1.59, expiring in December. They are trying to get rid of old product. They should half price them, then I'd buy some.

 

[ClemKadiddlehopper]

I couldn't buy expired toe jam for that price. I really struggle with what you all consider expensive.

 

[Amish Heart]

I know. Bummer.

 

[Magus]

Plenty of big jars of Kroger and Walmart PB here, chicken patties too, but this is the south. My beloved hot sauce Texas Pete is getting harder to find, I refuse to use Louisiana brand anything but the sweet, its actually better on stuff like Thai food. if you don't mind eating foreign food, to to a Mexican or Indian store, beans and rice for days!

 

[Magus]

Know the worst shortage nobody has mentioned yet?
Common sense.
Its drying up daily.
Hope too come to think of it.
No wonder I sleep so much.

Extinct in most places

Makes me want to head back to the wood lot and try to thumb a ride with the space cats.

 

[Hooch]

Last time I went to my small town local store I noticed wet cat food made a comeback after months of not getting very much in stock. Now it seems like dry pet food is harder to find around here.
crackers and cookies isle looked pretty weak as well as frozen foods, laundry soaps and bleach too. The gal who orders the hard alcohol said various brands and kinds of it are being limited per order. Vodka especially which is no surprise really with whats going on.
cooking oil, pasta rice were sparce but still there and we still have plenty of meats..expensive but there.
we also have a meat store in town that features local beef. They butcher local people's livestock and wild game too. I had them do two of my goats and they screwed it up but I hear the beef is good.
Im going shopping tomorrow so I will see what has changed..

 

[Magus]

I'm headed back out in two weeks or so. I keep forgetting I have a freezer over in my trailer.

i need another freezer, I have one more goat to butcher and I'd like to get some beef but no where to put it and I dont have time to can a whole goat in one shot...

 

[Magus]

Get some hotel room sized ones at the salvage store and crank up the thermostat, instant 100$
(OR LESS) freezer!

 

[UrbanHunter]

It's not a shortage, but I noticed that the growing containers I bought for $7 last year are being sold (I can't say they are selling) for $17... Not good.

 

[snappy1]

Toe jam is tangerine orange elderberry jam, right?

 

[ClemKadiddlehopper]

Nope. I am grossly referring to the stuff between unwashed toes. Pretend I am six years old.

I'm thinking you can can rice like anything else?

Nope. It turns to mush.

 

[Magus]

I know the instant stuff can be dry canned, it was part of that insta-soup my aunt made.

 

[Amish Heart]

You can also cook rice, then dehydrate it, and it's more instant.

 

[dademoss]

Me too, cause I knew what you what you meant
