Raw material foodstuff price contracts are expiring, and the new purchasing prices will be significantly higher than current. As these contracts refresh, the new higher prices immediately enter the food supply chain. CTH has been warning readers to stock up on non-perishable items as this next wave of food price increases is going to be much bigger than even the prior 8%/avg jumps; and there is absolutely no end in sight.
Also, as more large municipal regions (megalopolis metropolitan areas like New York City and Los Angeles) begin enforcing a vaccine passport to eat in restaurants, the demand for meals at home will remain high. Supermarkets again will fill the void in the diet of consumers who choose to remain at home instead of eating out.
The current demand on retail food products is likely visible to you in the form of bare shelves and minimal inventory.
Grocery retailers operate on paper thin gross profit margins and rely on fast turns of multiple penny profit items to add up to net profit income. Technology has helped modern grocery supply chains to be very thin.
An inventory shortage arises when demand on the retail grocery industry spikes – which is what we have seen with COVID impacts as alternative food options were forcibly closed or pressured to reduced capacity.
Conagra is one of the large food conglomerates with control over products from field to fork. Recently, Conagra executives announced they expect food prices to climb even higher due to all of the aforementioned impacts, along with large price increases in fuel and energy.
Wall Street Journal […] Conagra said Thursday it expects gross inflation—which doesn’t take into account hedging—to be about 11% for fiscal 2022, versus its earlier estimate of 9%. The company plans to continue adjusting prices and cutting costs, and said its prices likely will rise 4% or more during the current fiscal year.
Executives said they expect ongoing strong demand, price increases and cost-cutting measures to offset the higher costs. So far shoppers are largely sticking with Conagra’s brands despite higher costs, they said, though the bulk of the company’s price increases have only recently begun to show up on U.S. supermarket shelves.

[Note – Fiscal year 2022 began October 1, 2021.] Wheat, corn and soybeans are the foundation of the U.S. food supply. They are primarily used as ingredients in processed foods, oils, and are fed to the cattle, hogs, and poultry that supply meat and eggs for the American diet. When those grain harvests go up in price, the downstream increase in price is far reaching.
Processed foods and shelf stable foods have a deeper inventory than fresh foods. The turns on that shelf-stable inventory take longer, and as a consequence, it takes longer for the price increases to show up. As contracts renew and new inventory flows into the supply chain, the total supply chain price increases -including fuel and transportation costs- are going to hit hard. They are going to hit even harder than the last few months as the new processed inventory carries a higher cost.
Keep in mind, skyrocketing prices at the grocery store are predictable based almost entirely on Joe Biden’s pro-Wall Street and Multinational Corporation policies. Main Street is getting hammered, and the working class is suffering as a direct result. The administrations’ specific accountability for these outcomes is why the Biden team is trying to distract and blame COVID-19 for supply chain issues. However, it is not COVID driving the prices, it’s Joe Biden’s policies that benefit multinationals. {Go Deep}
Prior to COVID-19, China and the EU were devaluing their currency; the value of the dollar increased. This was great for products we import (durable goods, TV’s, electronics, etc) however, the high dollar value made exports from the U.S. more expensive.
U.S. companies who relied on exports (lots of agricultural industries and raw materials) took a hit from higher export prices. Less raw material including food was being purchased by overseas manufacturing groups. However, and this part is really interesting, their lack of purchasing made U.S. companies more dependent on domestic sales for income. With less raw material foodstuff being exported, there was more product available in the U.S for domestic purchase…. this dynamic led to a predictable outcome for those with common sense, lower food prices for U.S. consumers.
That was under President Trump policy. However, Joe Biden flipped this dynamic and dropped the value of the dollar with massive -far more than needed- stimulus and bailout spending. The monetary policy that pumps money into into the U.S. economy via COVID bailouts and ever-increasing federal spending drops the value of the dollar and makes the dependency state worse.
With a Democrat Congress and progressive FED pumping money into the U.S. system and expanding the deficit, the dollar value plummets. Now the value of the Chinese and EU currency increases. This means it costs more to import products, and that is the primary driver of price increases in durable consumer goods.
Simultaneously, a lower dollar value means cheaper exports for the multinationals (Big AG and raw materials). China, SE Asia and even the EU purchase U.S. raw materials at a lower price with their higher valued currencies.
All of those exported food sales -controlled by multinational corporations- mean less raw material in the U.S. which drives up prices for U.S. consumers. It is a perfect storm. Higher costs for imported goods and much higher costs for domestic goods (food). Combine this dynamic with massive increases in energy costs from ideological climate policy, and that’s fuel on the fire of inflation.
The retail consumer supply chain for manufactured and processed food products includes bulk storage to compensate for seasonality. There are over 800 commercial and public warehouses in the continental 48 states that store frozen products (2020 data). The previously processed food price increases are currently reflected on store shelves (already hurting). However, the coming processed processed food price increases will be much, much higher. We will see even higher prices on processed foods in the supermarket.
This is terrible for wage earners in the U.S. who are now seeing no wage growth and higher prices. Real wages are decreasing by the fastest rate in decades. We are now in a downward spiral where your paycheck buys less. As a result, consumer middle-class spending contracts. Eventually, this means housing prices drop because people cannot afford higher mortgage payments.
Gasoline costs more (+50%), food costs more (+10% at a minimum) and as a result, real wages drop; disposable income is lost. Ultimately this is the cause of Stagflation. A stagnant economy and inflation. None of this is caused by COVID-19. All of this is caused by economic policy and monetary policy sold under the guise of COVID-19.
This inflationary period will not stall out until the U.S. economy can recover from the massive amount of federal spending. If the spending continues, the dollar continues to be weak, as a result the inflationary period continues. It is a spiral that can only be stopped if the policies are reversed…. and the only way to stop these insane policies is to get rid of the Wall Street Democrats and Republicans who are constructing them.
I’m grateful for this forecast. I too have been building the prepper pantry for several months.
I am going frog gigging, myself.
Ah the memories! I used to gig the occasional fog in a WMA in N. Ca., but that was over 51 years ago…
Now I buy a half a cow at a time along with putting away fish, and fowl in bulk. Sometimes I’m fortunate enough to have a bit of venison to put in the freezers. That plus the gardening, canning, and commercial freeze-dried stores, aka MRE’s, I figure Casa Taxurfeets is good for at least 4-5 years. Unless the spring out back runs dry, we’re good for the Zombie Apocalypse.
Niiiiiice
At the current rate by the Nov. 2022 election we will see 20+% unemployment, severe food shortages, failed healthcare system, 15-18% or even hyperinflation, another 500,000 small businesses closed, and very possibly a new war – yet the main stream media will still tell us how great the dems are. Then the next steal will take place and they will keep the house and senate and any conservative protesting will be arrested and charged for domestic terrorism. I hope I’m wrong but…
I think alot of us feel the same as you
That is why they emptied out the prisons due to wuflu – to make room for ALL of us. Their investigational and prosecutorial net is widening to eliminate ALL dissent.
Never fear. The Republicans will come to our rescue.
LOL! (unfortunately, it is a laugh line.)
Nah, you ain’t wrong.
That is obviously the goal of the PRC and their sock-puppet leftist pols. And the GOPe wimps along for the ride and the perks, not understanding how expendable they are to those players. “Deliberative”; “fiscal conservative”…and all that.
And throngs of 3rd World urchins carrying small pox, leprosy, whooping cough, cholera,and pounds of fentanyl and meth.
The Democrat National Socialist Party has a plan to take 30% of farm/ranch land out of production the farmers/ranchers will be offered 1.5 times the price of their products and if they refuse they will not be allowed any subsidies. They claim this is done to prevent climate change. If they get away with this it will cause food shortages and mass starvation.
All by design. Not only can they help “save” the climate by reducing agriculture, they can reduce us. Soylent green new deal.
“The current demand on retail food products is likely visible to you in the form of bare shelves and minimal inventory.”
So Slow Joe
Gonna give you mo’ dough
It ain’t enough though
To make inventory flow
And fill the empty shelves
You gonna have to fend for yourselves
Hint: plant a raised-bed garden
Buy some chickens
They make tasty snacks for the raccoons. Ask me how I know. ?
Thank you for the much needed humor ! ROFL
Poor chickens. I lost nearly my whole flock to a <bbbbbeeeeeeeepppppping> neighbor dog that got under my fence. Now my remaining hens and roo are kept penned. I hate it for them, but at least the beeping dog can’t dig under hardware cloth cubes and get them. Bonus? Raccoons and possums can’t get them, either.
Get a double-barrel shotgun & 2 shells. 1 to educate the dog & the other to educate the neighbor about his dog.
I use an old single shot .410 I inherited from my grandpa. It’s a nice size for slaughtering raccoons, possums, and squirrels. Dad always laughed at me and said I shoot that thing like a rifle. Yes. Target practice. Always. The doggo is on the list of targets. I might load some rock salt and snap it in the butt. I’d rather snap the owner in the butt with a load of hot meat skins!
If you can…buy some Kevlar. It’ll save your ass in the long run.
Did you eat the raccoons??
Last spring I bought chicks which grew into excellent laying hens. Even though I only have four, I keep at least 50 lbs. of feed set aside in anticipation of shortages and high prices. Maybe I should buy another bag . . . .
Yes, I use Royal Canin breed specific dog food, and have encountered issues with it being out of stock. I don’t know if it’s a production issue or shipping issues, but now I buy 2 bags at a time instead of 1.
That is the brand my sister uses for her cats, I finally convinced her to start stocking up whenever she finds it. One of her cats is somewhat sickly and that is the only food it can eat.
Off the shelf cat food is hard to find, and the price has skyrocketed. Everything goes back to China and Xiden as blame. Cargo ships stuck at sea, no one to unload, no one to truck it on and on and on.
There is a major storm brewing in the supply chain. It could dramatically impact everyone’s life next year, but almost no one knows about it yet.
We are talking empty shelves, crazy inflation, etc.
Here’s what I am learning about the problem from my contacts in China https://gab.com/emoji/1f9f5.svghttps://gab.com/emoji/1f447.svg
As a communist country, China is centrally planned. That means that things like electricity usage are planned in Beijing by party officials instead of governed by the supply and demand of the market.
At the beginning of the year, China set electricity quotas for each province. As a result of supply chain disruptions from COVID and unprecedented factory demand, many of the provinces have used way more electricity than planned.
Now, China doesn’t have enough coal power
The Chinese government has begun restricting electrical usage for the provinces based on how much electricity they have used so far this year. There is a green, yellow, red system that has been put in place. The map below shows the provinces and their color.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1443364502666420227.html
Yea, read an article couple days ago I believe in The Epoch Times saying many manufacturing plants now operate only one day a week, others a few days and some are prohibited from operating at all. Rolling blackouts across multiple provinces and air conditioner use prohibited. Shortage of coal causing electricity production problems and now buying coal in the open market at increased prices. Evergrande and a couple other huge real estate companies about to go under and local governments are holding an estimated $8 trillion dollars in “off the books” debt. Their day is coming and it will be ugly so don’t be surprised if they invade Taiwan to get access to their financial system and other assets.
No further proof is needed that Americans have virtually no real political representation in their own country than the fact that, no matter how dire the supply crisis gets, it’s never bad enough for our “reps” to stop taking payoffs and do anything about it. There is very little to stop America from being food, energy and manufacturing- independent, and yet, here we are.
Makes you wonder if their central planning was for them or to finally exploit their monopoly on everything manufactured for America, including cat food, can be shut off and throw us into economic paralysis. Especially painful is their owning America’s DNC right in our face and the GOP (Mitch etal) being stand-aside spectators. IMO, they have a gambit with Obama & Soros etal whereby they can TAKE DOWN America without a shot being fired!
Communist regime always uses food as a weapon upon the population to force compliant. It never fails effectiveness
It did in several countries in the 90’s and on.
It just takes solidarity of will and people.
But this is America, that could never happen here.//////
You can stock on milk.
Last several months.
STAYS FRESH LONGER!
Parmalat milk is heated at higher temperatures than regular pasteurized milk. This way Parmalat milk stays fresh longer and doesn’t need to be refrigerated until opened.
I like it. Tastes good
This is the way almost all mild is sold in France.
My kids never liked it and couldn’t wait to get back “home” and drink glass after glass after glass of fresh milk.
Each to his own.
In case of shortages, empty shelves.
I happen to like it, a lot! Last several months in your pantry.
I will give it another try and will pick some up when at the store.
I has been over twenty five years since I had any over in France.
Yes we just put it on the shelves in the pantry in the kitchen when we lived in Paris for while.
It would be nice to have some on hand.
I had it back in the 80’s in France. Yes, it was fine.
Thanks for reminding me to look for it again.
Honestly, powdered milk lasts longer. It’s good for coffee/drinks/cooking- you barely even have to mix it w/water, if at all
I like this one a lot:
&f=1&nofb=1
Who sells it?
I see it everywhere in Tx, including Walmart, Hispanic area.
I stock up on the powdered milk. I am lucky because I don’t like the taste of regular milk and only use it for cooking, on cereal, etc., and I like the taste of milk from powdered milk even better on cereal.
The time for Victory Gardens is back.
They are going to try to starve us. Between crazy inflation enriching multinationals while impoverishing most of us and controlling our supply (what is gates doing with all that farmland and why can’t anything get through our CHINESE OWNED ports?!!), our physical demise appears to be the goal. They have already been working on our emotional and intellectual demise for a while.
Here are some of the brands owned by ConAgra. If this is in your wheelhouse, stock up: Duncan Hines, Healthy Choice, Marie Callender’s, Birds Eye, Orville Redenbacher’s, Vlasic.
I’m sorry but those brands are all big corporate garbage except for maybe Orville Redenbacher. Hard to eff up popcorn.
Well they can, though – by pouring sugar all over it, ick. Popcorn is supposed to be salty, not sweet. Just IMHO of course!
I don’t buy a single one of those brands. Then again I do a lot of from-scratch cooking and eat only a few processed foods.
They seem to be products that are stuffed with chemicals and preservatives too Tony.
We have always eaten simply mainly because we were on such a tight budget for the first 20 years of our marriage.
We cooked our three meals a day ( prepared them ) and never really got into the habit of eating out or buying expensive partially prepared food from boxs.
I really should get back to gardening though, I stopped doing it for a few years for some reason.
We usually take one or two of our cows over to a local butcher and have him prepare the cow mostly in roasts and hamburger.
It seems like those cuts of meat stretch farther, just a cooking habit I got into when trying to feed 5 growing boys who would eat almost their body weight in groceries every day.
And I also do love Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn!
You and I are cousins. Same exact lifestyle toward food.
And Vlasic, is grown and packed in India. The only pickles we buy are Mt Olive, grown and packed in
Mount Olive, NC 28365
We make refrigerator pickles. Pretty easy. But I use fresh grape leaves for crisping, I think you find substitutes? Cut blossom end off and soak in saltwater over night to make perfect crispy snack. Once you get the sweet or brine recipe and spices you like, you can pickle anything. Beans, peppers, okra, beets. It’s easier than making bread or a cake.
GMO? Our local corn stand farmer told us bugs who bite gmo corn die. We froze about 35 pints of corn. Last year we couldn’t find it for Thanksgiving. I know nobody says it’s ok, but I just cut it off cob and put in pint bags, without blanching. Works for us.
This is what’s coming, our standard of living is about to be lowered to save the planet. The great reset. Rationing and shortages.
I see a lot of people driving $80,000 pick up trucks nowadays, and eating out 2-3 times a day.
Let’s face it, many people can lower their living a little and still be living better than most.
Most people are living high on the hog, trying to look rich vs. actually being rich.
That being said, nobody should be losing their job because Biden is a B!tch.
Guess he is the same B1tch that Obama was…. same stuff Obama was pulling, but Joe Stalin is about 10x worse.
INTENTIONAL, THE GREEN NEW DEAL, THE GREAT RESET.RATIONING, SHORTAGES.
Energy Crisis May Unleash Winter Blackouts Across US, Insider Warns
“We’ve actually had discussions with power utilities who are concerned that they simply will have to implement blackouts this winter,” Thrasher warned.
He said, “They don’t see where the fuel is coming from to meet demand,” adding that 23% of utilities are switching away from gas this fall/winter to burn more coal.
“That whole supply chain is stretched beyond its limits,” Thrasher said. “It’s going to be a challenging winter for us here in the United States.”
In that regard, it’s a good idea to pick up or order a dual fuel inverter generator to keep our frozen foods frozen during rolling blackouts.
Gas/propane fueled inverters. Use fuel stabilizer for the stored gas. Lasts about a year. Just put it in your vehicle when getting close to best-by date.
The 20 pound BBQ propane tanks will stay stable for many years, if the container is in good condition.
Companies love this inflationary spiral. It makes for an easy excuse to keep raising prices so they can increase their bottom line.
If you’re old enough to remember the 70’s this is the beginning of the same thing. It lasted for 10 years and it will take a horrendously painful recession with super high interest rates and massive unemployment to end it.
“Companies love this inflationary spiral.”
Why is that?! When they fully depreciate their capital to scrap value the replacement cost could be many times what they paid initially.
They have been paying taxes based on the output value of their capital. But these taxes were on PHANTOM profits.
The taxes that were taken should have been kept as retained earnings and directed toward replacement capital but now the new machinery will have to be bought with borrowed money at a great sacrifice because loan rates have exploded upward to compensate for the dollar’s shrinking value.
Capital intensive industries will contract and bring about a reduction in high-wage industries.
The middle-class will face impoverishment. This is not what any high-end retailer wants to see.
The only companies that want inflation are those who are poorly managed and have accrued excess debt. Inflation will reduce their debt burden when they repay old loans contracted at low rates with devalued currency.
Retired Magistrate here: Went to the store today and continue to stock up on canned goods. Good wheat bread was on sale: 2 loaves for $4.00. So I bought several more and put them in the freezer. Every time I see a grocery item on sale that can either be frozen or is canned I purchase it.
Also stocked up on vitamins, paper supplies, have a 90 day supply (the most I can get) on our prescription drugs and have gas in our five, 5 gallon gas cans. Will get our fuel our tanks topped of and probably will have to pay at least $2.75 per gallon or more. We are doing everything we can to get ready for what might be a tough winter. For the past several weeks we have talked to our younger neighbors about helping us out if necessary and they have agreed. We will do what we can to help them also. Thankfully we live in what is still considered the country here in Central Ohio although high density housing is getting too close for comfort.
Prepare as best you can, talk to your neighbors about how you can help each other and thank GOD for the day that you have.
“Good wheat bread was on sale: 2 loaves for $4.00. So I bought several more and put them in the freezer.”
Assuming electricity can be kept operating, a good quality chest freezer can keep the wolf from your door.
Fill the thing half food/half ice. If your refrigerator fails and you get placed on a six month wait list for a replacement, use the ice in an Igloo-type chest as an old-timey ice box for your refrigerated goods.
Lay in a good supply of charcoal in case the natural gas lines are exhausted.

Based on what I imagine a retired magistrate’s pension to be, you could possibly afford to freeze-dry your food for future use. It is the best means of preserving flavor and nutrition over the course of many years:
https://harvestright.com/
This would not be an affordable option for most of us, though.
Just bought a good quality counter-top dehydrator for $150. The food’s not “freeze” dried, but it will keep. I just got a pressure cooker as well. Between drying and canning harvest bounty and killing the excess game on my place, we’re set.
When there is no more electricity, I can still can over a fire (like Granny used to do, bless her.)
I think people looking for short term electric solutions via gas or solar generation are going to be doing themselves a disservice in the long run. If you get electric cut for good for being a bad little boy or girl, you need to be mentally and physically prepared to go full Little House on the Prairie.
“5 gallon gas cans” I hope it is non ethanol,as the 10% stuff goes bad very fast. Also you need to put Stabil in all of it. Now if you were smart you would have Diesel, as it last forever in underground tanks.
Great advice, as always.
I love seeing a post from you, Marcia.
Stay healthy, stay positive, and stay in touch!
Altas in considering the shrug, best to arise up before.
Get all your medical tests, exams, procedures done now before staff shortages hit healthcare industry hard. Maybe we will even see shortages of healthcare supplies, meds.
Also they may deny services to pure blooded patriots soon. Some places already are. There will be rationing for sure. It’s the intent.
I’ve heard that 90% of our meds comes from China, made in China. I am not sure about the details but is something to research and consider.
China is cutting production of many things. Not to mention the Cargo ship debacle. Delays delays.
All the pharma raw ingredients come from China.
Start shopping from your local farmers market, they may not take new costumers next year if we do have food shortages due to transposition, high energy cost, or firing unjabbed workers… and only God knows what else the commies have in mind for next year.
Food is too important to wait and see what might or might not happen.
Support your local farmers and get to know them.
Right before COVID, it took us $45 to fill our car with gas. Groceries for a week was $200.
It’s now $75 to fill our tank. Groceries for a week are between $350-400.
Yeast and flour, friends. The price will SKYROCKET as the supply disappears (it did during Covid at most grocery stores).
Invest in a bread machine. It’s SURPRISINGLY simple to use and the bread is better. If you have one or get one
In this order:
1 cup whole water
3 tablespoons of oil
2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons sugar
(at this point, add any spices/nuts if you choose, but not TOO much- go easy)
2 1/2 cups of flour (any type will work)
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast (for the yeast, make a tiny indention on top of the flour mound, put in the yeast, cover it over lightly with the flour).
Set your bread machine to it’s basic bread setting (usually #1, I’ve found).
3 hours later- FRESH, whole bread. The place will smell amazing, and it’s SO much better than bought bread.
It’s cheap, it’s easy (it literally takes less than 5 minutes to assemble the ingredients).
You can even set it up and turn it on at night- your bread is there in the morning.
If you like- just pull out the bread to slice it, then put it BACk in the machine, close lid- free bread box.
]t can last up to a week, or so.
If people ask, I can ALSO give a PERFECT NY style pizza dough. Bread machine- SO awesome.
If you buy the ingredients bulk (Costco/Sam’s etc- 25 lb. flour and 2-5 lb. yeast) it’s less than $1 a loaf.
Just a tip 😉
Please recommend your best choice of bread makers.
I’ll get it.
I’ll check back later.
Massive thanks.
I have two Panasonic SD-YD250 bread machines. They make great bread and pizza dough. The french bread will keep for about 2 weeks in the fridge.
Hey. Thanks much!
They make the Rolls Royce of bread makers. Excellent!

Thanks much. I’ll check it out.
You forgot to mention homemade pretzel dough.
If you are going to bake your own, don’t get flour. Get wheat. It stores well inside in big plastic buckets with gamma lids–be sure to line them with mylar bags prior to putting the wheat in them. Toss in some oxygen eaters and you are set. You can get a table top grinder for when there is no electric or just use a food processor while you have electric. I have wheat and rice stored in this manner.
i haven’t noticed a shortage on the shelves yet BUT what i have noticed is the packages are smaller.say a box of cereal,they are the same width and height but thinner and weigh less but most people probably don’t notice.
As for power,i have an interupter on my a/c unit,this allows the power company to cut out my a/c during peak demand,i have been here 11 years and this year is the first time they have ever cut my a/c the last time was about 3 weeks ago.i believe the power supply is in worse shape then we think.i have been working on my house and out buildings to tighten em up and add insulation to help cut my power usage,every little bit helps.
How much did you pay them to put this on,”i have an interupter on my a/c unit” . Maybe if your lucky they will not shut your whole house down with their smart meter on your house.
my a/c-heatpump is on a separate meter,the interupter is only on that meter,and by law they can’t shut off my heat in the winter,but a/c during the summer is fair game.i voluntarily signed up for it and totally forgot about it but if it happens again next summer that things going down the road.
I pay $40 a month to keep my analog meter. It’s the highest opt out tax in the USA, but because I’m on a REA coop, there’s nothing I can do about it. Still, it’s better than the alternative. My neighbor to the south is a commercial painter. He has a big shop behind the house with two-phase power. His smart meter blows up regularly.
These satanist still bleed like the rest of us…
The US is starting to look more like the USSR every day…

Oh, wait….we can vote our way out of this cabacle/S
Good luck with that one.
What does that prove and flatbeds of what,kleen get a grip. You are the maker of your own fate. I could create a instant shortage of anything , by doing what you are doing. And by the way this comes from that twat page,

Just sayin.
Hyper inflation is commonly linked to totalitarian corrupt ineffective governments . We are in that category.
Brought to you on purpose by the (D)emons who wrecked the booming Trump economy on purpose with covid1984, Burned Looted and Murdered, then stole the election. Also brought to you on purpose by all the (R)ats pretending Biden is president and that anyone who exposes their complicity in The Big Lie is a domestic terrorist. Inflation is the least of our worries, given the entrenchment and stranglehold of pure Evil now engulfing MAGA Nation.
Well said. In a nutshell. We are in CW2 as you have already pointed out in your succinct post.
The question is ….. how many of our Patriot friends know the same thing?
Me thinks….. a lot. Me knows….. a lot.
I was in the grocery store today, the shelves were very, very stark. Between people waking up a little more to what is happening, and the shortages due to Xiden’s mess, we are going to indeed have a dark winter. Buy stuff while you can.
I read about grocery stores being out of things but haven’t seen it myself yet.
All purposefully being done. Anyone who cannot see the plan here, has not been paying attention. By the way, I believe that Bill Gates is now the biggest private owner of farmland in the US….
you should hear what they are planning to do now.here in iowa ,minn,neb and the dakotas,they are planning an underground pipeline to pump co2 yes you read that right co2 from the ethanol plants to underground ??in north dakota.this way they can produce more ethanol and this will supposedly offset the need for carbon credits.i still believe bill gates has his fingers in the fiasco somehow.
If he can hold it. He lives in Washington. Go TAKE his land back and put it to use when the SHTF.
The overpumping of the money supply is a fundamental, but the plandemic took that and other factors to the next level.
All working together synergistically.
Just think, if proper covid treatments including HCQ/ivermectin had been widely deployed, instead of being SUPPRESSED by authorities, none of this would be happening.*
None of it had to happen.
Artificially imposed crises.
That’s the game that this club plays to achieve their goals. Now also happening to those facing personal crises from job loss due to shot mandates.

Remember how humanitarian organizations complain about how “sanctions” imposed on a country are harmful to innocent civilians, especially the most vulnerable, such as children?
It’s time we realized that we the people have been placed under sanctions by our own government.
This is deliberate, it didn’t just happen.

Example: ~$17 for 25 lbs of wheat berries will make 25 loaves of bread at the cost of 68 cents a loaf. You’ll need a grinder.
Purchase bulk rice, sugar, honey, canned goods from Costco and Walmart
Purchase seeds from https://www.rareseeds.com/
Note: open pollinated, heirloom seeds will let you harvest seeds from your plants indefinitely – you only have to buy seeds once.
Purchase meats from local ranchers
Note: My local rancher charges $2.50 lb for Angus beef, the processor charges $1.25, the delivery guy $100. You can’t beat it.
You can “stock up” rather quickly while there’s plenty of food to be had.
If you don’t already, learn to cook, learn to grow, get involved with your local community food co-ops.
We can survive this.
One more note: eliminate processed foods from your diet. You’ll be healthier and save a ton of money.
Born Free….Thanks for the info. Living on the East Coast (PA) eastern side we do have two decent vendors who sell fresh beef and chicken at reasonable prices but they are already rising. I smoke alot of meat so I’ve been busy smoking and storing for the upcoming shortage.
My son has been buying whole beef for over a year and he’s got a good supply but I told him he needs a system to sustain it if the SHTF.

Why Shortages Are Permanent: Global Supply Shortages Make Fantastic Financial Sense
https://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2021/10/why-shortages-are-permanent-global.html
Excerpt:
Back in the good old days before globalization and financialization conquered the world, corporations lined up three reliable suppliers for every critical component, as this redundancy alleviated supply chain chokeholds. But to keep those three suppliers in business, you need to spread the order book among all three. Nobody will keep a facility open if it’s only used occasionally when the primary supplier runs into a spot of bother.
And so now we’re all seated at the banquet of consequences flowing from stripping out redundancy and competition, and ceding control of supply chains to quasi-monopolies and cartels. Scarcities are their source of profits, and since it makes zero financial sense to spend a fortune building a plant to make solvents, lubricants, alloys, etc. in limited quantities in markets dominated by quasi-monopolies and cartels, shortages are a permanent feature of the 21st century global economy.
The era of abundance was only a short-lived artifact of the initial boost phase of globalization and financialization; now that the consolidation is complete, shortages make fantastic financial sense.
Everything is going up. PG&E is raising energy costs which we are told will be about $36 a month to each household. That’s over $400 a year. You know PG&E the company responsible for burning down forests and towns in Calif.
House insurance just went up.
Everything going up, add to that these higher food costs, gasoline costs…smh
That is not how grocery stores operate. This is true for store brand products. Might be true for produce.
However, grocery stores make the bulk of their money from renting aisle space to producers. In some cases they can even have the producer’s delivery person do the stocking of shelves with the producer’s products.
