Just use a propane torchThat is truely aweful. I feel where you are coming from. Three weeks in and my toaster broke. I'm doomed.

I have quite a bit stashed but I am going to start rationing a bit. I drink more than I need.
Well on a bit of a lighter note, we are down to the last pound of coffee and quart of cream. So I will now be drinking tea so my wife can have the rest. Oh and I had my last beer last night.
I put my babies out in the grow out coop yesterday. Their frantic chirps at having 3x the room erupted into them practicing flying. I musta spent 2 hrs just watching. Nothing better to do, then watching chicks! Xcept when they misjudge their prowess and land on the ogre & freak out.Got my extra coffee yesterday, along with all the pet feed I needed, plus 50# of chick feed. The babes are going into the outdoor pen tomorrow, as they are now fully feathered.
Took ALL my will power not to buy more.
there were certain things that we made sure we were getting immediately upon hearing the what was going on when this things started.
coffee was one of them.

Very impressive!
Chicks are most amusing creatures!I put my babies out in the grow out coop yesterday. Their frantic chirps at having 3x the room erupted into them practicing flying.

As soon as we were in lockdown we went on half rations of coffee. Only make one pot a day now.
The principal of use one, buy 2, until you're out of room and then use one, buy one, works for coffee too. (2 is 1, 1 is none)
Until of course you get into this type of situation, then we are using one, and using one. Boy is our grocery bill going to be high when this is over.

Last week SWMBO picked up 6 bags of dawg phood & 6 bags of Layena pellets.
The hens are producing about three dozen eggs a week, I won't mention what the dogs are producing.

C'mon, Mecoastie! This is supposed to be a prep and news board. We're barely into this virus pandemic and you're already running out of coffee??? It reminds me of another thread here where guys are complaining about not being able to find ammo.
If anything at all is important to your household - and if you consider yourself to be a prepper - you should stock in-depth and be prepared to ride anything out for at least several months.

My wife is very quick to claim all of my coffee grounds. Our soil is pretty alkaline, and she uses them liberally in the soil of the acid-loving plants outside, and somewhat in the vegetable garden.Grounds to send a salvage crew into the nuclear wasteland.
Mmmmmmm........broilers.Got my extra coffee yesterday, along with all the pet feed I needed, plus 50# of chick feed. The babes are going into the outdoor pen tomorrow, as they are now fully feathered.

No coffee = No "grounds".No coffee...

Jokes on you. Banties. Not meat chickens.Mmmmmmm........broilers.
Wow, some of you people went overboard with the coffee amounts. I have several containers of
coffee in the freezer, grounded and whole beans. I like the stove top Faberware percolator and of
course lightly salted to make it smooth. Coffee really adds to a meal.
Also, I've noticed that when I order coffee at a restaurant, the waitress appears nerves about saying
black coffee. They are never sure about how to word that question and usually dance around the topic.
Just takes a couple. Ive made soup with banties.Jokes on you. Banties. Not meat chickens.
It's also a bad time to stop sniffing glue.Maybe have some NoDoz, Excedrin or anything with caffeine in it; not a good time for cold-turkey caffeine withdrawal.
Once upon a time you could buy big bags of caffeine powder, but they put limits on that a few years ago.not a good time for cold-turkey caffeine withdrawal
Yes, it does come out more muddy, which settles to the bottom.IIRC, you shouldn't freeze coffee.
Something about it breaking down the cell walls and making it muddy?
Not sure, I may be all wrong.
I put mine out yesterday, such happy little gals( they better be)Got my extra coffee yesterday, along with all the pet feed I needed, plus 50# of chick feed. The babes are going into the outdoor pen tomorrow, as they are now fully feathered.

You and me both. When I heard people say there was no more coke around here I panicked and bought a dozen cases on Quill.This^^^ my one a day bottle of coca-cola habit is covered and if I should run out of that I have Dr. Pepper and/pr Cream Soda... however, I am slowly transitioning back over to my summer beverage of choice of unsweetened iced tea, just gotta keep making ice is all!
