shortages

[tortoise]

Temporary shortage? and/or panic-buying? of peanut butter due to extensive recall. I bought peanut butter a couple days before the recall was announced and the store was well-stocked. The day after, not only was the recalled peanut butter pulled from the shelf, but all the other brands were sold out. I wonder if it was a panic-buying moment when people saw and empty shelf (not knowing about the recall) and thought of a shortage and bought what was left? Yesterday the organic/natural peanut butters were back in stock but the rest were empty/sparse.

it has just happened in timing for me that i've not been eating as much peanut butter the past few weeks so i should be good for another month with what i have in the jar here. oatmeal season has been interrupted and i've not felt like making it as often since then. for some strange reason i've just been forgetting about breakfast. once i get going on morning chores or projects i notice later in the day that i'm running out of energy and then realize i've forgotten to have breakfast. so i'll go make it now because it's going to be a busy day today again...

softener salt.....only can find it at Fleet Farm-even Wal-Mart has it as shipping only.

Also, chicken nuggets went up to $7 for under a 2 lb bag. I don't usually by them as the kids like when I make them homemade but we are having my "high class" only eat brand name food nieces for 2 days in a week or so and I was going to pick them up. NOPE my sister can send some if they want some or they eat what we have or starve.

Homemade is better in every way anyways! Your sister should be worried you’ll send them back as homemade food snobs .

Make sure you mention that you only serve artesianal foods and none of that low class processed food

Exactly!!!

One thing we have had a hard time finding is Chinese noodles. We dont eat them often but my kids like them mixed in homemade trail mixes.

I had to look that up. Because I never heard of it before.

Artisanal food - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Artisanal food encompasses breads, cheeses, fruit preserves, cured meats, beverages, oils, and vinegars that are made by hand using traditional methods by skilled craftworkers, known as food artisans. The foodstuff material from farmers and backyard growers can include fruit, grains and flours, milks for cheese, cured meats, fish, beverages, oils, and vinegars. The movement is focused on providing farm to fork type foods with locally sourced products that benefit the consumer, small scale growers and producers, and the local economy.

I knew I spelled it wrong, but was in a hurry. Artisanal is very popular around here, especially with the more affluent crowd. Prices can get ridiculous depending on what store you go to. Metropolitan Market in Tacoma will have the exact same jars of specialty items as I find at other stores but at huge markups to make them more enticing. Sometimes at Winco which is low cost and where the poor people shop. I buy groceries at Winco and specialty cheeses at the Market.

There is a big Farmers Market in Lufkin, I really should go check it out.

Around here, with the average gas price of $5.02 a gallon for 87 octane (which is a record BTW). I'm seriously considering buying a Tesla. But someone told me if you buy one Tesla, you'll want another one. If you get two Tesla's chances are pretty high more will show up sooner rather than later.

Pluses
1) Easy startup in all weather conditions
2) 4 wheel drive all terrain
2) Smart
3) Should last about 30 years, with regular maintenance.
4) Easy to clean
5) Comes with plush leather seating
6) Power steering
7) No more wrench turning
8) Runs on grass and water
9) Fewer emissions
10) Waste is considered green

What you think? He's 5 years old and his name is Tesla. I like him, I like him a lot.
