Wow Food Prices Went Nuts In A Week!!

It means life isn't data homey. You have to see it to know, obviously frost doesn't food shop.

 

its all in the hemp... Its what its goin to take to bring down pollution food cost clothes cost fuel costs, plastic costs, everything... You can do any one of those with the plant. Fuck you can grow it year round in the south... Thats what its goin to take

 

we're seeing this at work right now. we just raised the price of pretty much everything on the menu by a dollar about 5 months ago, and we're about to raise it another 50 cents, just to try and keep up with food. some of our ingredients will have gone up almost 50% by the time they are done. the good news is that once this spike is over, prices are expected to stay around the same for the rest of 2008 at least

 

Two easy examples

Two weeks ago: 4 oranges for a dollar...or 8 for $2, have now risen to 3 for $2.
Two weeks ago: pound of carrots, up from 99 cents a pound to 1.29 a pound.

this is for the fools that dont shop n need to have printed data thrown in there face to believe it

 

I just got home from the grocery store. I spent $33.71 and the only non-food item I bought was VO5 shampoo which was $1.79 for a 15 ounce bottle..

This was the most I had spent there in quite awhile....mostly cuz I just don't shop much.

 

i forsee way more vegetable gardens than usual this summer...

 

if a person is smart and has the room,they will grow grain of some sort.. bread,flour hell even beer anything that takes grain to make is fixin to get REAL expensive..

 

Yes.

If they can't grow it, they should buy it while they still can. Grain lasts for a long time.

 

grains would not be my choice to grow at ALL
veggies it is, and that would be it

 

I have not seen 1 single vegetable garden in the whole year I have been at the canyon.

 

I can tell you one thing: I experienced 1000% inflation as a kid in Brazil and...it's FUN.

All the hoarding, the bouncing checks, the savings accounts with minimal interest, the bags of money you'd take to the supermarket to buy monthly supplies, the speculation in gold, the hiding dollars under the mattress and the 7-odd extra locks on the door.

All the canned food.

Boy, I have good memories.

 

because,
you know what that canyon will be a hundred years from now?

fucking SAND!!!

with all respect...

 

wait till this time next year,,its gonna be like deja vu..

 

I think $2.99 for 2 lbs of strawberries is way to expensive

 

HOLY SHIT!!!!!
thats insane...

strawberries were actually on sale last week here for 99 cents a pound..
of course our strawberry patch here is plum full of buds so we didnt bother getting any.

 

Yay, hyper inflation??? WERE ALL GUNNA DIE!!

 

not all of us,, just a few million more than normal world wide.

that is of course provided everyones harvests go well in the northern hemisphere this season.
if not,who knows how many millions will die between the riots and the famine.
possibly 100's of millions..

 

well i don't really see how we could have expected anything else. to have expected this not to happen. with the fed paper hanging and all. and with what america's forign policy has been all my life, and the corporatocracy becoming a defacto world dictatorship and so on.

the sooner all that collapses, the better off we'll all eventually be. people who are isolate in urban situations, where the only way they have or know how to survive, begins and ends with little green pieces of paper, are going to be screwed.

not that i, or anyone, can say with ABSOLUTE certainty this is immediately impending. the world has thrown me a few curves before. but i sure don't see this as anything to be surprised about. at all.

buy local or grow your own. and what you can't, live on what you can. that's the only long term perminent answer to it.

here i am preching to a choir what i can't even practice myself, being stuck here in a damd city, doomed like all city dwellers cause of how i'm living and having to live with.

and i do like being able to eat things someone made parts of a long ways away. but i'm sure i can and will survive without doing so.

i don't know why my wife insists on bread and coffee anyway. i never did by myself. i get along just fine with noodles and broth, and no damd legumes which don't aggree with my digestion anyway.

vegitable patches don't yeald all year long and that is going to get to be a problem, like it was in ancient times. oh i don't think its going to get all THAT dramatic/traumatic all at once or anything, though of course it could.

if america colapses like soviet russia did, it won't be the end of the world. and if it don't, that won't be either. i guess it's mostly just something to bitch about like the weather. but it IS another canary in the coal mine. another wake up call to us plebes on the ground and world leaders alike.
