I started storing staples like flour, rice, beans, pasta, sugar, salt, etc. I got 10 of those 5-gallon buckets and Mylar liners and filled them all. My son helped me vacuum seal the mylar bags and then the buckets are air tight. Supposedly they will last for 20+ years. I need to order 10 more. I've started buying some of the dehydrated and freeze dried staples in #10 cans too. I buy extra coffee when there is a good sale.
I learned how to do canning and one of my requirements for the small retirement house I am looking for is that there be enough yard for a good sized garden. I just want to be self-sufficient.

I'll believe it when I see it. I don't care for chocolate very much (how very un-American of me!) so a $20 candy bar won't be hard for me to endure...I simply won't eat chocolate. My husband, on the other hand, will have serious mental health issues over it!

My hubby also came home telling me about the $20 loaf of bread. I don't see it rising that fast, but if it does there will be a bigger economical issue than there is already. We already have extended families living with each other just to make it by. I don't think I would be able to feed my family with the mortgage bill we have now if the prices of food go up, and I guess I would definitely have to stop quilting (or just use up what I have until Im out any way).... stock up of fabric if you wanna be able to do this in the future it sounds.
