    I bought roughly a lifetime supply of beans at $1 per pound, rice at $.50, pasta at $1, ramen at $.20 per pack, rolled oats were increasing… not sure of prices I paid. I am retired - inflation is a big concern to me. Look at hyperinflation in other countries, literally starving the population.

    I definitely order #10 cans of staples (by the case) from the LDS online store. They will sell to anybody - no need to be a member of their church. The prices are reasonable and the shipping is only $3 for whatever you are buying. Great value! And they just added strawberries!! 🍓🍓🍓

    I've been Prepping for decades. I have a team of close net friends that will be here on the farm when SHTF. I have no less than 48 cans of Chili, as well as many cans of vegetables, meats, fruits, etc. Retired and still Prepping. Keep Prepping my friends.

    Heard a report that Walmart is planning on no longer carrying the large bags of things like beans and rice. One comment online said a shopper asked a store manager when they couldn’t find some large bags and were told about the plan to discontinue. Unbelievable that Spam was behind a locked cabinet, shoplifting is really going to cause more stores to close due to the lost sales.

    Yes and it is sad that canned Wolf Brand chili doesn't have as much meat as it once did. I now have to add a pint on ground meat that I canned. So it is worth canning your own. (I still like the taste of Wolf Brand, i just wish they would beef it up!)

    Great topic as these concerns affect us all! I am finding that my salary does not extend as far as it used to. I used to be able to buy canned foods for:
    ”10 for $10”.
    I no longer see this so I have had to change my shopping habits.
    Im pretty much buying all my daily needs from the Dollar Tree and my long term items from the LDS online shop.
    My one example of something that shocked me: The price of a bag of chips. Chips used to be so cheap.
    I now prepare popcorn at home, but I miss having a bag of chips on the kitchen counter.

I've noticed many things coming in, let's call it travel size but it's food & we have some of the best & finest land & farmer in the world. We got to grow a little something to supplement our budgets. Please do go to the stores for a reference to how your area is in stock. I've heard you have less than 3 days of shelf supply in your stores, so don't be caught with the mad dash or mad people. When it happens, shut your gate & door til it's safer.

    @gonefishing3644 2 месяца назад +4

    Instead of buying some cans of chili with beans at a price you consider to be way too high, why not cook a big pot of homemade chili and then pressure can it in pint jars or quart jars? You can make a lot of chili bean stew at low cost using dried beans, the cheapest kind of ground beef, chili powder, dried onion flakes, beef bouillon and some canned diced tomatoes. Or use your favorite chili recipe that has game meat if you hunt deer or elk or moose. And the homemade chili will not have all those chemical preservatives, too much salt or all those strange flavor enhancers. If you are willing to invest the time cooking from scratch, you can save significant money.
    In our household, when we buy processed microwave meals or snack foods or premade desserts, we usually buy them from Costco, Sams Club, Trader Joe's or WinCo. This way we either get a bulk buy discount or a low mark-up or get items made with better quality ingredients compared to similar items at Wal-Mart or the dollar stores.

    • @coloradopackratprepper

A few other things, but mostly sale items. There seemed to be plenty of beans, rice and pasta. I didn't check prices because I didn't need any.
    I'm going to another local store tomorrow to get some sales there.

    Hi from North Idaho. You're correct about everything going higher everywhere, and Wal-Mart isn't the cheapest any longer. That can of eggs made me suck all of the air out of the room. Even with the crazy prize of a freeze dryer, I'm seriously considering purchasing one. We have a small garden, and the availability other fresh fruits and vegetables that we could freeze dry. This would bolster our pantry supply to go along with all of our canned goods. Have a great rest of the year and stay safe.

    People really need to do math and figure out what is cheapest because they are being tricked everywhere. Most people assume that if they buy more or a bigger container, they are getting a better deal but it's not always true. For example, I will see an item that is 50 cents a bag if you buy it individually but $11 for a box of 10. Things like that. It's really important to calculate the price per ounce or the unit price.

    Alaska Granny, I really need your help. I purchased dry red lentils and chickpeas thinking they would last forever. But now I heard that even the bagged red lentils (masoor dal) and the plastic jarred dry chickpeas (chana) go bad after 1-2 years. I think what upsets me most is I purchased these from an Indian grocery store and found some of the jars expired 2 years ago (2 years after their mgr date) and the red lentils had no mfgr date or expiration date. Not sure what to do. PLEASE HELP!!!!

    • @AlaskaGranny
      @AlaskaGranny  2 месяца назад

      I store dry lentils and chickpeas long term, just like other dried beans. They should be good to eat unless you notice
      Strange odor: Fresh dry lentils should have a mild earthy smell. If they have a musty or rancid odor, it’s best to discard them.
      Mold or discoloration: Check for any signs of mold or discoloration, which can indicate spoilage. Healthy dry lentils should have a uniform color and texture.
      Pest infestation: If you notice any insects or pests in the lentils, it’s a clear sign that they’re no longer safe to eat.

    Dear Granny, you have always been very tolerant of people posting with a Christian point of view, so I would like to share something. It's obvious that people in the US and around the world in positions of leadership and power are acting in bizarre, unnatural, destructive ways. It makes no sense to a normal person. But if, as a lot of Christians believe, we are in what the Bible calls "the last days", that would explain the madness we see. There are a lot of people on the internet loading posts who say God told them this or that. I try to stick to the Bible, but there was one person who's remarks have stuck with me. They said, "God is emptying the storehouse(s)." America has always had a super abundance of food, but we grew ungrateful and took all our blessings and freedoms for granted. Is it possible that America will have to suffer the discipline that the Lord allowed to come to even the "apple of His eye", Israel? To answer your question: there are items too numerous to list that are no longer available and the prices have gone up by 25, 30, and even 50% on everything. A dozen Walmart eggs suddenly shot up from $1.77 to (today) $3.77! Breads are $3 to $4 and more a loaf. Two pounds of white rice are $1.77. Milk is $4.43 a gallon. So far all varieties of the one pound pkg of Great Value pastas are .98 cents. So still a good storage buy. A 28 ounce can of Great Value baked beans is $1.94. Great Value old fashioned oats are $3.98 for the 42 ounce cannister. 4 pounds of Great Value sugar is $3.14. 5 pounds of Great Value all-purpose unbleached flour is $2.43. A pound of Great Value butter is $4.26. A 12 ounce can of SPAM is $3.98. I still prefer the GV brand of reduced sodium canned "spam". It's $2 a 12 ounce can. These prices are from our area in western PA.

      The shortages are caused by Washington DC. Byedone said we will only be able to afford beef on special occasions and his administration did so. Culling birds over bird flu is ridiculous. Chicken and egg shortages and high prices. The virus bird flu is no different than salmonella in chicken which is why your supposed to wash chicken and cook thourgholy. Eggs same. Bird flu has been in existence since there have been birds and there has never been a "jump" from birds to humans in all millennium. DC has stopped allowing grazing on public land which is one reason why beef rose in cost. The other reason is that the govt is taxing ranchers per head of beef due to c|im@te change policies. Govt also tells farmers how much they can grow and when if they want govt subsidies and if they don't and still plant they will destroy crops. Commercial growers are also only allowed to by seed from certain providers which also drives up the cost (and quality) of food. Govt is even trying to shut down the Amish who do everything by the old ways.
