    Just looked because I wanted to restock and may be SOL. We get lazy man dehydrated scalloped and augratin potatoes in 1 gallon cartons. Last fall SP were $12 and AG were $16. Easter igot a box of SP for $18 grudgingly paid it and refused to pay the $28 for AG. Looked this weekend and none of either are available.

    Good news for the parents with newborns… remember the Berlin airlift shortly after WWII? Helping out the poor civilian population that were on the brink of starvation… They’re now airlifting in baby formula for us here in the United States for a change.

    Well all the non-lactating pregnant men that recently gave birth really appreciate the formula.

    Don’t question it. Go with the mob or you’ll be called terrible things completely unrelated to any logical arguments you might point out.

    The same way our 2 sons survived. We had to make the formula for them rather than paying some company to make it.

    As far as the paper towel for opening restroom doors goes i take it one step further. I bring my own napkin in with me in case they have hot air dryers and no towels available.

    I chuckle at this, only because it has been a common occurrence for me. Want to hear my wife grumble...stand there when she comes out of a bathroom and all they had were the dryers...

    Don’t tell anyone, but there’s been an Ore-ida tot shortage for months. Ffs are people hoarding tots? The generic walmark tots are trash.

    They didn't . There was a too high rate of infant death from starvation, malnutrition and diseases related to those. If you were lucky you had a wet nurse if you couldn't breast feed. You crossed your fingers/hoped cow/goat milk would suffice if mom didn't make enough or less. In many ways we're all pretty fortunate to be living in the time we are.

    We shouldnt publish numbers, but what are yall doing to stock up a little?
    We put back some bar oil last year, picked up a few 2x4's, various screws. This year, we picked up a couple kegs of oatmeal, an extra bag or two of pasta.

    We dry canned some of that.
