So glad to see people engaging in this thread again. The bad is just about to hit in terms of our food shortages. Prices that had been decent to even sales-worthy until recently are now going up - and up. If you've not stocked already, oh boy - do what you can, but it will cost you more.

Keep talking, people - keep discussing and posting photos even of what you find in your stores, what you see on the news. We need to get the word out to more people, and we need to support each other. If I can tell you what is going short in my area, that might be a warning to you to stock up that item while you can in your area!

On that line, I have to say that I have been buying my favorite brand of cottage cheese for years in the same discount grocery. Never had a shortage. A couple times I didn't like the Use by date, but it's always been there. Now, for the past three weeks, the only kind they have is with pineapple. I have no grasp of the reason, but it is making havoc with my food choices! LOL

If you are new to preparing, or need more information, by all means come to Thread: Practical Prepping Protocol even if Poor (Page 210) but keep this thread open as well, because we all need the most information possible on what we can do to save our own lives.
