Do you live from week to week trips to you local store to buy food?
What will you do when this is no longer possible?
Its coming folks, like it or not.
Do what you can while you can to feed your family in the hard times ahead.
Time is short.

well, when i lived in Germany. We rarely shopped in bulk. Fresh meats and vegetables were acquired almost daily. Essentially, we bought fresh ingredients for what we wanted to eat before making it. This is how many people live in Germany. It is such a nice way to live. Presently, i have more processed foods in my house than i would like. So, if i needed to. I could probably stretch my rations out for a month or so.

I assume you are referring to some nutty alarmist crap though. do you know something we dont? Are the reptilians going to surface soon ? Shit i hope not...please tell me if they are. Give me a head start

Roughly 5 months and 2 weeks. Probably longer if I murder and eat my family.

Why do you ask?

Empirical data to back your paranoid assertions, with a theory that precludes other possible interpretations of the data? No? I thought not.

Plant a garden. Problem solved. Now quit making spam threads.

Why should week to week trips imply destitution, or day to day? I go to the market every day and I'm doing okay. I've noticed a considerable increase in prices, but not in my ability to reach the market. Anyon else noticed the price of seafood cracking the ceiling tiles?

As for when public transport goes away based on oil prices, I'll just walk. Besides, there's no national infrastructure for mass/public transport BECAUSE the oil industry shut it down. I've walked for cigarettes, booze and weed, why wouldn't I walk for food?

So, when the catastrophe comes, it will be because the oil industry blocked the development of most forms of public transport in subruban areas and because we are still depending on them to ship our needed goods. Next time you people elect an oil man and his cronies, don't be suprised you're being screwed on gas prices. ****ing idiots!

I just get my food from Tony's Deli Sandwiches. So if he goes out of business my food supply would be cut short.

I've got enough for at least a month without having to go into MREs. I've easily got enough water to last that long in bottles.

I'm feeling "it" too.

Acorns are poisonous. If you crush them, and boil and strain them at least 3 times, you can get a flavorless paste that you can eat if that is all you have.

Yep, yep or make flour with it....Ohhhh acorn cake.
