I didn't think to check if they have any packaged potato products like instant mashed potatoes - and I am fascinated by their lack in all the Walmarts we are hearing about. Quoting: Pooka What do you people think is the reason for all potato products being purchased? This grocery has been having great sales on chicken parts - I've repackaged and put away two large pkgs of skinless, boneless chicken breasts, and today bought chicken drumsticks for .99 per lb. $3.88 for seven meals. Should have gotten a second package! People, keep checking stores and telling us what you find, and what you do not find. I went to my local Walmart last week - shortage signs on canned goods. I went to my local ALDI's today, PACKED and canned veggies on sale for 48 cents a can. crazy. ^THIS again, another clue that something 'else' is going on. Is Walmart and a few others supplying food to dumbs and the immigrant tent cities at the border? Canned foods would be the item for both those locations. The 'shortage' is limited to certain grocers. I agree, something odd with it being walmart. I went to Costco and no shortages there |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77842678 I can see where you're coming from. A lot of people tend to spread disinformation about what you need to grow food. My friend grows a crazy amount of food on less than 1/4 acre with her gardens and meat rabbits. Although she is not self sufficient she does A LOT on very little. Most say it's not enough land but she supplies well over half her own food and still has more yard left to convert to garden space. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76531980 AFTER MORE THAN A DECADE OF LEARNING HOW TO GET OFF THE CONSUMER TIT WE'VE GOTTEN CLOSE TO ALL OF OUR NEEDS EITHER THROUGH WHAT WE PRODUCE HERE OR TRADE WITH OTHER HOMESTEADERS WHO LIVE ELSEWHERE AND PRODUCE STUFF WE DON'T. IT'S OBSCENE THAT ADULT HUMAN BEINGS ARE 100% DEPENDENT ON OTHER PEOPLE FOR THEIR FOOD BUT WORSE THAN THAT IT CREATES A DEPENDENCE THAT'S HARD TO GET OUT FROM UNDER. Congratulations on all your food accomplishments! You are near independence, for sure! Please try to use lower case letters except for starting sentences and capitalizing proper nouns. Writing in all caps is consider YELLING on the internet and nobody likes to be yelled at. Takes away all the importance of your post.  |

| Mental Case User ID: 77843965 United States07/22/2019 11:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This may seem a bit off topic but I thought I would toss it out there... I was looking for the best woods to make a bow drill from for starting a fire & found... dry yucca stalks, cottonwood, cedar, aspen, willow. and basswood. The best is soft, non-resinous wood...so pine wont work. If I am going to be damned...I am going to be damned for who I really am! |
