Finally 

I enjoy reading these roundups every week, thank you!

Ours says Feature Comforts on it but when I went to google, couldn’t find one like ours. But we have had it a really really long time.

We have one of these that lives in the bathroom. It is nice.

Thanks!

Great round up as always! And glad to see Brown Fox! 👋

Not necessarily, I just enjoy reading his “bonus material” and I am completely not the person to be giving out advice! 😆

Great round up. I miss Brown Fox adding his comments.

Not sure if this is helpful or not, but whenever I’m canning, if there is space in the canner I put in a jar of water. It gets sealed and then stored in the pantry. I figure is my vegetables are good for several years, water should be too. I don’t have an extra space often so I don’t have tons of jars, but it’s slowly growing

Thanks! Enjoyable read today!

I noticed when we started watching the survival game show Alone that the people who boiled their game or seafood never seemed to get sick but several times people who ate grilled meat got very sick, like often enough I pointed it out to my husband.

What do you do with your bamboo Redneck?

I agree I appreciate being able to see which companies are really benefiting above and beyond. 

Quarterly I go with a friend who has a vendors listened to a restaurant supply store, not Sams or Gordon’s, but the kind where the guys walking around shopping are wearing their chef’s whites. Anyway, I thought you might find prices and shortages interesting. Obviously not a comprehensive list but what I noticed or bought #10 cans of fruit and vegetables up 50% from $6 something to $9 something a can #10 cans of beans up $1 from $5ish to $6ish dried beans and rice only being sold in 50 pound bags or larger, no 25 lb bags Paper plates up from $28 dollars for 1200 to $34 All frozen seafood up several dollars no matter size or kind Veggie burgers up from $80 for 100 to $104 Cheese up less than $1 per 5 lbs. Absolutely no sour cream in any size or brand and they usually have it even in 5 gallon buckets too, but none at all Chicken quarters $.99 lb, wings $1.99 lb but at least they had some, last two times I went they didn’t have any, legs/thighs $2.99 lb, boneless breasts $3.99 lb, no bone in breasts. These prices are a huge mark up. I regularly bought boneless breasts for $1.59 lb Pork loin had only gone up 30 cents to $1.69 lb Goat was up $10 a side There was no salad, usually they sold huge bags of various chopped salads, you could only find the ingredients to make salads sold whole. this is obviously not a comprehensive list as I didn’t check beef prices or frozen meat prices, just kind of ran off a few observations and our receipts. This was in southern Ohio

I’m sorry for all those suffering fallout

I am very surprised at the lack of chatter locally about the President coming out and plainly saying there will be shortages Thursday. I fully expected to see people out shopping like crazy but it is business as usual where I live. Not sure what to think about that, especially after seeing locals empty the stores back during the pandemic.

Thanks Stephanie

This part of the article on the western drought blows my mind. In the short term, though, most towns and cities will keep building. Local leaders have every incentive to approve future development, since new population growth helps shore up tax revenue and also brings new jobs. The cuts on the Colorado River will fall hardest on agricultural users, and a decrease in overall farming could free up more water for residential use. Arizona remains one of the fastest-growing states in the country

I like the news round ups, can’t think of anything to change!

Aaaannnd they’ve hit a nuclear power plant.
