I headed to the dried foods and canned section and loaded up on 2 for 1$ stuff and other things like Cooking Oils,..cans of shortening & lard,...pasta noodles and rice even though I have boo-koo's of these things stocked up now.<BR/> <BR/>Also stepped next door to the Dollar General who had deodorant and Toothpaste ( brand name that we use) on sale,...dollar each,bought many of each...we will smell good and have nice breath for a while.<BR/><BR/>Rice seems to have stabilized in price,..holding at $12.50 for 20 pounds,..been that for a month now. Beans are still going up,..I normally buy that in 25 to 50lb sacks, but I noticed the smaller bags at the store were $2.99 per 2 lb bag.....WOW! I paid .89 per pound for the last batch.<BR/><BR/>I also noticed anything from wheat was soaring in price, and fresh produce like cabbage, Cilantro, Peppers and Tomatoes were un- affordable,...due to the salmonella scare I guess.<BR/><BR/>I love beef and thought to take a look at some packs of beef ribs.I love to smoke ribs with apple wood or hickory, What has been 3 to 5$ for a pack was now 8$ It was only a cpl weeks ago when I last bought some,...damn,..double the price,...same with all the other beef selections.<BR/><BR/>I didn't really have to buy any of this stuff as our preps are looking good,...but I figured it as an investment,...it will only get more expensive as the weeks go by. And, now I have some extra to help out a neighbor or a friend when needed.gott_chahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144900084025208694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-68771745554008111822008-07-14T02:53:00.000-07:002008-07-14T02:53:00.000-07:00Sounds like your mentor is smarter than most.
