This week I got two clips from Kroger and two from Meijer. We went during the busiest time of the day. I did get a shot of the water shelves at Meijer along with the coffee aisle. Ironically they were both about bare in an area. I did notice that the wine shelf was shortened since the last time we were there. Some of the aisles appear to have been shuffled around. I am giving you a link to a new channel Heather Cohn from The Kneady Homesteader talked about on her last video from yesterday.
Okay, Fridays are going to be dedicated to food shortages. I have no doubt they will be abundant. I am trying to figure out the recording in public without invading the privacy of other shoppers. Also, I don’t want to cause anyone to lose their jobs. I will be going on Thursdays to different stores in my area to see how the stores are changing their layout to compensate for the shortage without freaking people out.
People the shortage is here. Our 2019-2020 harvest didn’t do well at all. Half-empty shelves are something we are going to have to get used to seeing. They are going to be a part of our lives. Wake up as many people as you can to this fact, then form communities. Learn together how to grow food, preserve it, and distribute it equally. I will do what I can to share the resources I have on these subjects. I am going to get a pot with soil and some seeds in the summer to start learning to grow foods we use a lot.
We also need to take advantage of 10/$10 sales for bartering items. These will be items your family may not like, but another will be happy to have. I plan on starting in February to buy bulk items we use a lot like rice, beans, pure cane sugar, and flour. I forgot yeast for bread. However, learning o make a starter for sourdough bread is a good idea. I will give you a link to Heather from Kneady Homesteader below. She is doing a series on a sourdough starter with and without rye. Not the same as nutritional yeast. They are two different forms of yeast. Salt is another thing I need to buy in bulk. I don’t know if I have mentioned or not, but you shouldn’t use iodized salt for canning. With canning, you can use Canning salt, Kosher salt, and even Pink Himalayan Salt. The iodized salt will cause your product to be cloudy in the jars. You put a lot of work into canning so why have it look cloudy and unappealing.
I hope y’all enjoy the video, and if you have any footage feel free to share it.
