When I was recovering from the rona last winter I could not get enough pineapple, my body craved it, it tasted so good- like food does when you're pregnant. I have been trying to get fresh pineapple every time I go to the store, and have some canned in storage. There's definitely something to it.Honestly, I'm glad I prepped. I've been going through some kind of wicked chest cold for the last few days. But I had plenty stocked up so my need to go out was minimal.
Also, special call-out to Aintitfunny; she pointed out that pineapple is a decongestant. I must have eaten half a dozen cans of pineapple in the last three days, and between that and hot tea--and the help of God Almighty, of course--deep pantrying cut my healing time probably in half.
I think they’re saying all this to start a new run of panic buying. It’s probably not happening fast bough for them. I popped into Meijer yesterday for some last minute items for my Thanksgiving dinner, and they had weird “limit 2 only” signs on so many things. Weird things that made no sense to have limits on, like lactose free milk and Triscuits and cereal, even though stock seemed plentiful. It was bizarre. I saw those signs several times in every aisle. So what’s the point?? Some kind of psy ops thing?? Or they legitimately only want people buying no more than two containers of Fairlife milk?
i did not learn to cook bacon properly until my elderly mother came to live with us.
my bacon was always more tooth breaking hard than crispy, She said HOW DID YOU COOK THIS?
My mom said “bacon has to go on a cookie sheet in a 325 (not hot) oven till done.”
Cooked that way, Wow! it melted in our mouth!
Thread drift but never heard of that. How long does it take?
This. I've bought cases of them from Walmart, office supply co, several others. Buy cereal, pasta whatever from the private companies. Get my porridge at The Scottish grocer, grits and flour at War Eagle mill, yes they are expensive some of them but their products are top quality and fresh and none of them play the limit game.For those looking for paper towels, Walmart online had them.
I love Fairlife for the taste, the very extended expiration dates (usually 2 months out), and the fact that YDS can drink it . Since I only do 1 main grocery run a month, only 2 would cramp my style.I think they’re saying all this to start a new run of panic buying. It’s probably not happening fast bough for them.

Kinda small....
what's it like by you, and the places you go?
Well, a lot of the peeps here are aware, so things can clear out quick, what I'm expecting this weekend. TP is getting thin but we're ahead of that curve now. Was going to go out today but still on my back, hopefully later today. We're trying to get everything we can.
When it goes south it's going to be one of the places to be....unless you're a commie.
let us know if you do go out, will ya?
Um, sure. You being sarcastic?
Or for weekly shopping for large families! lol
Hell, I'm prepped and will still stand in the lines like everyone else to buy more of whatever is available.Always keep your preps topped off so when others "Hoard" you are not part of the problem. You are also not so dependent on the .gov doing the right thing, since they seldom do.
I can see a homeless person using one.
And when they pass the anti-hoarding laws you will not even be able to have supplies at home.Hell, I'm prepped and will still stand in the lines like everyone else to buy more of whatever is available.
Gotta play the part ...for now
I also cook up bacon in bulk....it freezes just fine.Yes'm! It's also a lot easier to 'harvest' the precious bacon grease this way... just tilt the sheet pan and drain into a jar. I tend to cook up a whole package and store the extras in a container in the fridge. Just warm on 50% for 15 seconds or so in the microwave.
After you slapped the snot out of him.That's when you smile and nod and give a slight wink as if the cognitive issues are showing. I would have even talked quietly to whomever he had spoke to as to downplay what he said.
Last time, while i was in the hospital, my BIG upright freezer died and the kids discovered it too late to save anything. I couldnt buy a replacement and only this week was able to buy a small, 8.8 cu ft chest freezer so i’m hopping to get a hold of some of what i had before.
BY THE WAY, IT IS NOT “ILLEGAL HOARDING” IF IT IS HOME CANNED! ,
REMEMBER THAT!
Put everything in Mayonnaise/ pickle/ instant coffee/mason or other jars Or ziplock bags!¥
Coffee, Sugar, salt, Rice, macaroni, corn meal, oats,shortening, farina, repackage it.
THEY ONLY SEIZE FOOD THAT IS UNOPENED, IN ORIGINAL PACKAGING, FOR REDISTRIBUTION To others!
LISTEN TO GRANNY!
BTW-Home canned food is likewise NOT COUNTED as “wealth or assets“ either, IN A BANKRUPTCY!

I use the cheap table napkins instead of paper towels for most of the paper towel jobs. 500 for less then $3. I have many packages stored. I keep a roll of paper towels next to napkin holder and a roll will last us a couple of months. Several times over the year Walmart had bundles of 15 wash clothes cheaper then a package of paper towels. I don't feel guilty tossing one after a really messy job.

DependsI'm not very absorbent...
Mind-numbingly stupid. You can tell him I said that.So I went to bathroom while DH was waiting on cath in hospital yesterday. I walk back in his room and there he is bragging to the staff about all the food and supplies and guns and ammo we have stored. No, he wasn't medicated yet.
That’s a serious personality flaw. You can tell him I said that too.But, he loves to brag.
If Americans allow that to happen, they are no longer Americans imoAnd when they pass the anti-hoarding laws you will not even be able to have supplies at home.

Unfortunately, we can’t go without paper towels with 5 indoor cats and a dog and 2 humans.
Plus, we fix bacon in the microwave almost every other day for a snack eating on during the mornings and I have to have 4 for the bottom on the plate and 1 to cover.
If you can't use the grease from cooking meat right away (all meat, not just bacon) put it in a tight container and freeze it. Fat is one of the most valuable commodities in a famine situation. It's also very useful for cooking, in place of vegetable oils (and usually healthier for you than vegetable oils, although olive oil and coconut oil aren't too bad). If I have bacon fat, I use that instead of butter for a lot of things.

Keep some of the blue shop towels around.
They can be rinsed out and reused once or twice.
