[quote:MtBarb:MV8xOTk3NjA1XzMzNTYwMjk5XzczMDM4MzMw] [quote:Macraider:MV8xOTk3NjA1XzE2RkFBOENC] Wow.... We went to Costco tonight in Northern California, and the choice beef was $19.99 per POUND !! Also, everything we normally buy has gone up by at least -$1.00 - The organic whole chickens were 2 for $20 2 months ago, and NOW they are $30 to $35 for same 2 chickens!! NOW, food for a family of four is costing $375 every 2 weeks (no food stamps here). Our weekly food bill has doubled this year!! Inflation is before our eyes. I had an anxiety attack shopping. I am very particular in purchasing REAL WHOLESOME FOODs for my family. I no longer buy any corn products because of GMOs. We stay away from high fructose corn syrup. I read the back of everything I buy and I find myself putting most of the food back on the shelf because of the junk in it. My business that I have had for over 23 years is failing. For the first time in my life, I am very worried and concerned. I am making major changes to my life asap because I do not see any other way to survive. I take pride in taking care of myself and family. I do not want to go onto the governments tit for support. Is anyone else seeing the changes that I am seeing or struggling like I am struggling?? My spouse wants us to sell everything we own and move to IDAHO. Spouse wants us to prepare for a complete financial and government collaspe and he wants to grow and raise our own food. What do you think (your opinion is welcomed)?? :alone: [/quote] We did it (moved--to Montana.) Start NOW (or a couple years ago), learning how to raise food. It's hard work, you need LOTS of non-hybrid seeds and water, you have to figure out how to protect your garden from deer, pests like marmots, rabbits, gophers, weeds, bugs, etc. Gardens only grow for a few months, so you have to have hundreds of jars and lids, and two kinds of canners (water bath for fruits and high acid foods, a pressure canner for meats and vegetables) to save food for the winter, and for trade for other needed items. You need to learn how to can properly to avoid poisoning your family. Forget freezing food--the grid will be gone. You will work all day every day just raising and preserving food. It's very complicated; start learning!! [/quote]
