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.
