shortages

[CrealCritter]

We are not seeing any shortages on food everything u want is available and some prices have gone down. Not critical itiams but Oreos and nutter butters prices are about half what they were last year. Gas has dropped below 3 dollars a gallon and the price of sheet tin at work is back to 20 something a sheet it was as high as 47 a sheet. The 20 dollar range is normal for the last five years for sheet tin. I'm calling it sheet tin but it is actually 4x8 26ga galvanized metal sheets

Let's hope this trend continues, inflation is the worst. I haven't seen $20.00 sheet metal at the home improvement stores yet. Still A LOT more than $47.00 a sheet even.

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

Low quality might be because everybody got the good stuff first....doesn't excuse the prices though.

Quality has been down for a while. 🙁 The tiny broccoli crowns pic was from a couple weeks ago. MI celery is used up and the CA celery is 1/3 to 1/2 the size. The price is lower, but not proportionately. I'm glad I dehydrated some celery, wish I had put up more...

Good plan. I'll be watching produce this summer for things that I don't grow. It's so easy to do celery and I can't grow it at all.

My WINCO had celery at a good price. I chopped up three heads/stalks? of it and filled my dehydrator. I can't grow it either.

Look for potatoes, onions, zucchini, and eggplant in the next 2-4 weeks for best produce prices. Just about everything else is volatile or under a market alert.

No low prices, but argula, lettuces, corn, cantaloupe, green bean prices are decreasing. (Doesn't mean they are low...)

Never dried/dehydrated celery. Like the flavor in some things but hate the taste of actually eating it...
Is it hard to dehydrate??? That could be a good thing to get and do for future things like stews.
