All I can say is wow, but I am not surprised. We not leaving our property for almost a year and a half, not seeing a walmart or grocery store all that time….I would imagine would be quite the shock to us.
With that said, friends and family tell us how food prices are going up. When they speak on the subject, it is always wide eyed, sighing with body jesters implying exhaustion.
It would be prudent to learn to produce your own and have to ability to defend it. Or learn to do without.
