Food prices June 2021

[Mini Horses]

The food "recalls" are massive now. High prices for contaminated food. Trust me, my natural manure fertilizers are way less problematic. It's disturbing to see the issues with handling & packaging. And my raw milk hasn't been an issue over past 15 yrs.

I'm not buying so, none affects me but, so many are.

Still haven't stocked up the sugar -- or used the last 2 cups . Now I've added bay leaves & dishwasher powder to my list. Ahh, last of winter stock up

i'm mostly trying to encourage Mom to buy more vegetables and frozen vegetables have been working out well for us as meals some evenings when we don't want to make anything more complicated.

i'm not following food recalls unless they hit the news.

i'm now done with eating all the spaghettios and meat balls (i was ok with them at first but they rapidly lost my interest) and had my first can of regular spaghettios the other day and i can eat them, but they're not really very good compared to macaroni and tomato chunks so i'm going to be making more of that instead and have it around - it used to be a regular staple food on hand here almost all the time but when Mom went back to work being a nanny she got away from making bread and cooking more often. so i'll just put that on my regular list as it doesn't take that much to do.

Need to buy sugar. Yep, used it up making the peach & orange jams this week. But, I don't use much sugar otherwise so that 5# needed to be used to replace it. Add to the list

Organic cane sugar?

At our Dept at the County Fair, we had a 42% increase in the number of jars entered, vs last year? Why?

A very very active FB group is one reason.

I'd like to think that folks are canning and dehydrating and freeze drying anything they can get their hands on, at a sale or clearance price. Stocking up and saving money.

Old news... you probably already know, but ICYMI.

@murphysranch I'd like to think that way, too. I'd really love to see more people try to raise some food -- even a couple pots of ?? Something they'd eat, like tomatoes, peppers, beans, etc. Or a tiny 10x10 garden on their yard.

A community garden would be unbelievable! But commitment stands in the way of that
