I was surprised yesterday I just happened to glance at the bananas and they went from .39 cents to .50. I hadn’t bought them in several months because I don’t eat them but my brother did.
Well sure don’t go buy a bbq sandwich then. They are even worse. One bbq place didn’t put prices on menu. Perhaps customers didn’t ask about prices when ordering. Anyway they are now closed and their bbq was delicious.Add to the shortages and rising prices list: tomatoes, carrots, sugar beets, onions, apples, and even cotton. Sadly, as the article points out, most Americans are oblivious to what's coming. DH has a customer who works for the government, who is a conservative and Trump supporter, and he's been trying to tell his Demonrat-voting neighbors and co-workers to stock up on some extra food, but they just laugh it off. Sadly, a year from now I don't think they're going to be laughing with food prices predicted to possibly triple, in addition to shortages. https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=5527 As a side note, my beloved Roy Rogers large roast beef sandwich is now $8 and change with tax ~ for one sandwich.No more RR's roast beef for me.
Sadly, I get a lot of laughing in my direction when I suggest to my friends and family to stock up on food. People have been so used to having whatever they want at their fingertips that it's hard to believe that it's not going to be as available in the future. And that future is creeping up faster and faster.Add to the shortages and rising prices list: tomatoes, carrots, sugar beets, onions, apples, and even cotton.

It’s the demand for all those pumpkin spice lattes.For the last couple of weeks I've been trying to find ground allspice and cloves without any success. All of the local grocery stores are out of them. So, I then started looking for pumpkin pie spice and apple pie spice to be possible substitutions, but they're also out of these. I can find them online, but they're so outrageously priced that I can't afford them. I'm not sure if people are just stocking up for Thanksgiving or what, but I've never had a problem finding these spices in the stores before.
Try Penzey's, WF, your local coop(s), Asian stores, health-food stores, herbalists, Winco, Gordon's (or other restaurant supply places), and any usually-outrageously-high-priced grocers in your area. IDK about you, but a jar of ground cloves lasts me multiple years. I still have about 2/3 or 3/4 of a jar I got 4 or 4 years agoFor the last couple of weeks I've been trying to find ground allspice and cloves without any success.
