Oh, pet foods, cat litter, and some animal feeds get scarce too. I try to keep a bit extra on hand for them too.

Sounds like you are doing well. Hubby has the pantry full, as well as both freezers.

Sugar was a bit scarce the last time we went grocery shopping. Our yearly county fair, is called the strawberry festival. Yes, I live smack dab in strawberry country, and they come in, just before the strawberry festival begins. Due to this, a lot of the strawberry shortcake vendors, and strawberry milkshake vendors, get their sugar from the grocery stores. Usually they get low on sugar, but not totally out of it. It will no longer be in short supply, once the strawberry festival is over.

I bought a bag of sugar from Costco a couple of weeks ago so am good on sugar for a while!

I love the Saf Insta Yeast in the big one pound packages. Best buy for it that I've found since our Amish grocery store closed is on Amazon. My bread recipe uses 1.5 tablespoons of yeast so I make sure to always replace one when I get half through a package. That way I never run out.

My big tip is to buy 10 pound bags of four and stick them in the freezer for 48 hours. You will never have a meal worm. I do it with everything from flour to rice,even beans. Jiffy Mixes, cake mixes, oatmeal, grits. Anything that has the potential to get creepy crawlies in it gets frozen then dumped into canisters with snap on lids. I actually store my flour in those big 4 gallon kitty litter buckets that have been cleaned, sanitized and aired out till there is no more scent to them. Then to make sure I wipe them down with vinegar, rinse them again, dry thoroughly, air again and then use them. They stack in your pantry for easy access.

I'm supposed to go to the doctor's next week for my quarterly pain assessment. I won't even go there but I'm seriously watching things around us to see if it's worth the risk. I have a respirator mask along with a gillion surgical masks. They have N95s there but it's like playing Russian Roulette with a revolver loaded with 4 out of 5 bullets.

The odds are NEVER in your favor.

@CapricornFarm, please be safe. Lyme lowers your immunity to other infections. Feel better, my friend.
