Jerseys are good cows. They are cute too.

Ohh I love them! Two of my children are lactose intolerant, the A2A2 is easier to digest right?

Yes! I don't 100% remember why but I'm sure @farmerjan does!

I think we could try this homemade recipe if things go wrong. Yeah View attachment 16775

I have this book. Lots of good information.

Interesting! Worth The buy?

Definitely worth the buy! Sauerkraut recipe didn't work for me though, because it wasn't detailed enough, and really the wrong way to ferment.

I did buy a book specifically on making real sauerkraut. I've been able to make it ever since.

Went on this morning to start my monthly grocery/paper products pick up. Limit on water, bread and yogurt. The TP DH prefers went from $12/12 rolls to $19!!

Everything else was there for now....when I do my pick up we will see what gets 'canceled'.

Also $7 for a small bag of apples! Thank goodness we have our own trees.

Yep - Amazing how different things are in different parts of the country.

Back when all the shortages started I talked to my DIL who worked for Walmart at the time. She told me to shop in the mornings because they stock the shelves overnight. When what was on the shelf was gone they didn't stock it again until that night for the next day. It was their way of 'rationing' their stocks. Have no idea if that is still going on anywhere. It doesn't really effect me because I'm always well stocked - even more so now.

DH and I decided a long time ago that we're not going to panic. There are a whole lot of things that we can live without. Toilet paper and pop tarts are not necessities in my life, lol. They sure are nice...well the toilet paper is convenient, but we don't eat pop tarts anyway. Flexibility and substitutions can carry you a long way.

I don't have a magic ball and I have no dates as to when this will end, but I'd really be annoyed, and surprised, if it lasted 10 years.

@Rammy do you feel like you're stocked enough to be ok for awhile?

Oh, you bet Im stocked

And thats not even half of it.
