Food prices still seem to be some what stable but I believe they will get much higher in the near future like in two to three months especially since diesel is so high I believe the truckers are going to cut back or quit. Has any one thought about stockpiling a bit of extra stables for survival? I have.
I also live 45 miles from the smallest town I have always only gone every two weeks but may need to go less as my truck only gets about 17 miles per gallon. Been trying to get the women on the ranch to car pool for shopping and yet they seem to not care I know I can afford it better than most of them but I still do not want to pay that much for gas the cheapest at this point $ 4.00 a gallon it's $4.10 to $ 4.20 at all the other places. Today I went to town and another 20 miles further I bought every thing that is non perishible on sale from beans to canned vegetables, fruit, dry beans, salt, sugar, powdered milk plus frozen items that was on sale. You can buy most canned stuff with at least a 2010 exp date so why not buy a few extra things and make a small stock pile. I also intend to stock up on dried onions, garlic,herbs and spices and what ever else I can think of. I dont feel like I'm being an freaky or anything but feel like I should be prepared. If I'm wrong no big deal we will just use what we have. Am I crazy? Or do some of the folks here feel the same?
