Food Shortages and Prices
This post is not to scare anyone, but only to encourage you to become more self-reliant, plan and plant a garden, dehydrate what you can and stock up with some extra food.
Food Shortages are already here. This was at a grocery store (sorry for the blurred image, cell pic.) But it says that broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, green peppers, green beans are currently not available. Many others produce items have gone up 30% or more in price.
Look at the prices of zucchini squash. This is real time. Today I paid $2.78 for a pound of butter. Just four weeks ago I paid $1.98. From what I have read the price increases are due to weather, crop failures, economics and national food shortages.

At bit of good news. Great sale on Natural Boneless, Skinless Chicken for $1.59 per pound.

I am cleaning out my freezer to make room for more chicken, butter and meat. In so doing, I am dehydrating the frozen vegetables. One pound of frozen veggies drys down to about 3/4 cup. Easy to store and even easier to use. We plump them up for a side dish by cooking slowly and adding water as necessary over a medium heat. Adding them to soups or stew is awesome.
So to wrap these thoughts up...We live in exciting times. Never at any time on earth are so many things been happening, both good and bad. I love to getting better prepared and I feel more secure having a little extra in the cupboards for a rainy day :)
