My husband and I liked chicken and dressing casserole for Thanksgiving along with several traditional sides.
One was fully cooked and one was frozen. Organic or not, third party or not...that's A LOT for ONE turkey
Folks, let's not forget "package shrinkage". Please also report any package shrinkage. Thank you.
My daughter bought a fresh organic turkey from a local farm last year and it cost something like $140. I told her it was good, but honestly the butterball from the year before for $30 was just as good.
My Walmart app is showing frozen turkeys from $105-$130 each right now.
Told my family a couple years ago that if they want a turkey they will either have to fix it or come to my house early enough to lift it into the over cause I can't. Turns out ham is okay after all!!

I would agree, months not years.Are you sure he said YEARS and not MONTHS?

Publix, say it ain't so!!The other day I went into the local Publix and intended to get a 20lb bag of ice. The freezer, which normally has in excess of 50 bags of 10lb and 20lb sacks, only had 3 10lb bags remaining. I bought 2 and wondered why as I've never seen the ice inventory so wiped out.
Today I go in and the ice is back. Now, instead of 10lb and 20lb bags there are 7lb and 16lb bags for the same price as the larger bags!
I do!I've never spent more than .49 a pound for a turkey, never. I usually get several in the 24 to 28 pound range, and store them in the freezer. This year just might be different.
One year there were Wampler brand turkeys on sale for .19 a pound. I really don't think anyone wants to hear the story behind the sale.
For the first time ever, our local news had a segment last night warning about the high food prices (going even higher), and food shortages getting worse in our area. They even showed bare shelves at some of the local grocery stores and Walmart. I'm sure it rattled the herd, and I expect things to get much worse, after last night's news segment.
Cue in the stampeding hoards to buy what little food is left on store shelves. TP crisis 2020 part two.
That's exactly what I thought while watching the news. There won't be anything left, once the herd is panicked.
And then there will be the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth because some selfish person bought all of the baby food, peas, and condiments... or whatever. Yep, we're almost there.
I got 16 soups yesterday at Meijer's. That sale made the savings 99 cents a can.
We don't have shortage yet in our area of CAs high desert due to the aquifier but my 2 month bill for 2 side by side properties was almost 1000 dollars. Unfortunately we have many trees and shrubs and are being screwed on water.From another forum:
And water!
"My water bill (for the same exact usage amount) has gone from $69.00 every two months to $109.99 for every two months.
And I live in the Pacific Northwest... we do NOT have water shortage here"
Exactly, however, since I failed to keep up with my green bean supply, I have been buying larger quantities of them to resupply my supply. Although I would not take the last of them unless I had none.For those of us who have been building our food pantries over the years, we can honestly say we are not part of the empty shelf problem. I'm not rushing out to buy a dozen of anything. I'm simply replacing what I've used since I last shopped. If I come across an item that is scarce I can bypass it until the shelf is full again because I already have a supply at home. I don't HAVE to replace what I've used immediately.
Valid question but impossible to answer.Ok, I am just putting this out there as perhaps a question.
We talk of people stampeding in panic to hoard.
The signs have been there for months of sporadic shortages.
Panic buying.
Here in lies the “perhaps a question.”
What are we doing even tho we are prepped?
We are buying more than we ordinarily would do to add to what we have.
Buying 12 instead of 6 for example even tho we don’t sweep the shelves leaving nothing for others.
When do we feel secure enough to say ok, time to stop?
Where is the line in the sand where we stop and not add to the problems at hand and in the not so distant future?
Please take this in the spirit I am asking.
If I didn’t text this clearly I know you get what I’m trying to say.
I am one of the We.
I have been contemplating things like…should I get in my stash? Should I use the charge card that’s just for emergencies?
Charge it up just to buy another oil filter and oil tho I have enuff for three changes.
More gas cans and gas.
I can make the payments.
I may not be able to get the things I need on down the road.
Head bounces and bounce some more.
