Oh my.
The thread's just been started, no primitive replies yet.

grocery prices to rise dramatically....
.......so says NBC news today. Largely due to the drought here and there. South American drought has driven up coffee prices by 30% since November. Dairy, beef, and produce to go way, way up.
I'd stock up on some things now, if I had space.
Meanwhile, time to find more "peasant" recipes. If only those peasant recipes weren't heavy on carbs.......
I'm really curious as to why grocery prices would bother the pie-and-jam primitive, as she's headed for an old folks' home soon anyway, and inmates of nursing homes usually don't have to worry about the price of groceries.

Oh my again.
It didn't take Ms. Hindenberg long to butt in:

1. Hoarding of most things doesn't work
because most of it contains eggs and bacteria that will spoil the food if it's kept too long. If you like canned goods, stock up on those. They're good about the longest.

You haven't noticed the astronomic increase already?
Must be busy looking for Andy Stephenson's killer.

I'm not sure what the grasswipe primitive is worried about, either.
Didn't the White Hut declare that food is one of those things not factored into the inflation number?

Grocery prices have been through the roof since the Messiah took over. Why? BECAUSE GAS PRICES ARE KILLING US.
No relief in sight.

Yeah, and you and all others with growing children, it's got to be a massive pain, the way kids eat.

But they gotta eat, so one has to bear with it.

Another big driver of grocery prices is the man made shortage of water in California. Sure, there is a drought there, but there would be plenty of water for farms, cattle and orchards, but the left believes the delta smelt is more important than feeding people.

But the smelt will be OK and that guy that built a pond on his own property will be fined, so what are you worried about? Suck it up, bitch.

And that dumbass dickhead in the White House.

Dummies have no problem aborting a full-term baby, but don't you dare harm this f'n fish.

Stupid lezbo DUmmy Aerows called it nearly three years ago.
She made the shrewd observation that the drought would lead to thirsty chickens, and thirsty chickens would lay fewer eggs, driving up the price.
One can hope that this year the chickens in commercial laying barns will find more puddles to wet their beaks.
That will do the coon-bit DUmmy Aerows little good, since she's been crushed by her $18K rabies shots and will depend on charity food banks.
She's so poor she may have to eat the raccoon.

That's a bait fish around here.

These assholes push their radical environmental agenda, and then they complain about the high food prices. Who gives a crap about a 2 inch fish?

Cannibalism is still illegal in most states, isn't it? Can she get away with this?
Just found this, and must edit to include it.
It isn't enough grasswire is looking to consume peasants, she even has her poor pets worried that they might be next:http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018591139

it's creepy how much time my animals spend watching me.
My border collie has been standing by my desk staring right at me for 40 minutes now. What? Why? I guess he's waiting to see if I have anything to eat.
My little tabby cat sits on my lap or shoulder and stares, stares, stares at me.
I guess they don't bore easily. They are wondering "Am I next?"
edited again for explanation in the event gNads wanders over: peasant noun \ˈpe-zənt\. : a poor farmer or farm worker who has low social status. : a person who is not educated and has low social status.

Interesting as Hubby brought home a few cans of Sardines packed in oil, whole, heads and tails on.
Where and why he bought these critters he just ignored. Never knew him to eat these things, and I cannot find the cans in the canned portion of my pantry..
Much is the mystery of men, darn if I even at my age don't understand them. Men say women are a mystery to them, well men are an even bigger mystery to woman.
Where did the sardines go ?

Look in his lab... you'll likely find some scraps of wire and a AA battery. If you see dead fish flopping around on the floor you'll have your answer.

2. We eat very little canned food
Tomatoes, tuna, deviled ham occasionally, peaches occasionally. I can't think of anything else, except an occasional can of refried beans or black beans if I'm too lazy to make from scratch. Sometimes a can of soup. And we don't generally buy anything storable that has eggs or bacteria in it. I assume that means processed things. I just don't go for that.
So there isn't much that I could "hoard." But I think I'll be putting up more produce from the farmers market this summer.
<<<wonders what this "we" business is, as the pie-and-jam primitive appears to be an old lady who lives by herself.....and less than forty miles away from the founder of the dread Scamdy.
She's however from time to time mentioned a handicapped descendent, and so it could be a child of hers, or a grandchild or great-grandchild or even a great-great-grandchild; remember, she's about 70 years old and alleges herself to be a great-great-grandmother, making the "average" age of each generation circa 12-13 years.
If she's in fact taking care of such a relative, good for her, but she really needs to spend more time with that person, than with the primitives on Skins's island.

3. Another one who doesn't think hoarding
works very well.
I can recall in the early 1970's when there was a large rise in food prices. Except, as is always the case, the rise affected some things and not others.
Me? I haven't noticed that much change in food prices in the past few years, even though others on DU have complained bitterly about such things. I'm getting along with the same food budget I had five years ago. I have dropped fizzy water from my shopping list, and while I miss it somewhat, I've adapted. Perhaps since I do a great deal of cooking from scratch, I'm not as affected as others. But that does mean I buy fresh ingredients regularly.

4. Hoarding?
I did not introduce hoarding to this thread.
Your fresh ingredients (and everyone else's fresh ingredients) are going to rise this year.
<<<wonder why Judy's so wroughtfully indignant about an innocuous comment.

5. the price of milk has gone up a lot in the last year
i may have to free up some money to make a run on coffee. we just get the big cans of folgers, so they can hang out for a bit.
-
She's just noticing this now? She learned it on Teevee? Go to the grocery store and it becomes quite evident what has happened to the prices.
-
I'm not worried....I haven't even gotten on foodstamps yet.....Obama will provide for me.

Thirsty cows produce less milk, but fizzy doesn't really worry about that.
She's far more concerned about marijuana (her code word is "coffee")

Damn it! Those food stamps don't stretch as much as you'd like them to nowadays...

When the DUmmies realize that Frito-Lay is putting fewer Cheetos in each bag, for the same price, then they'll really be mad!
Note to lurking DUmmies: take the news back to the Island. 'Splode some heads.

Another mystery revealed!
The fizzy primitive doesn't drink gallons of Fat Che's Little Brothert Blue Ribbon because she's a cheap drunk. She does it to create a DUmmy delicacy: Fizzy Water!
