MAYBE 1 DAY, I was talking about the ones saying that they were hoarding away flour, cocoa, sugar and things of that sort. I think what you're doing is very practical and I do some of that myself. I always buy in bulk and keep at least a months worth of grocerys and things of that sort. It sounds like you're eating better than most of us with all the good fruit and veggies that you're raising. If more people could do that, maybe we would all be better off. By the way, what is capsicum? Just curious.

You are sadly misinformed if you think stocking basic food for several months use is hoarding. Every emergency agency begs people to have at least one month of stored basics on hand, six even better.

With the ever increasing prices over here not just with bills for energy and water but also in the food line there has been quite a noticeable shift towards growing your own fruit or veg if you are able to do so.
We are fortunate in that we live on property and therefore have the space to do so.

Okay Ladies/Gentlemen its time we all arm ourselves with coupons and go to the store! I am serious here! I was reading about the price of tomatoes YIKES !!!
We are going to be growing our own and freezing as well as canning them even more than we did last year.
Check out your local paper and online for coupons then go shopping! Might save ya at least a full tank of gas if you shop wisely !
