Stare at each one and make a mental note of which ones really mean it and which ones are just faking so you can get them later.

Is it a permanent solution to all my temporary problems?! Sounds fucking lit!

The same as I feel about any of Turkey’s sovereign territory.

Rice, lentils, peas, beans, wheat berries, barley, oats, etc. But if you buy in large bulk (which you should do for the cost savings), you should repack the goods into smaller individually sealed containers. Because a 25kg bag of rice, once opened, will take a small family all year to get through, and having an open bag of rice attracts rodents, weevils, moisture, mould and dust. Pack it down into half kilo or 1kg containers, ideally vacuum sealed or with some other preventative treatment. Then only open 1 container at a time.

This is good advice not just for building resilience against food cost shocks, but just generally good practice for saving money by buying in bulk and repacking yourself. Around here,a 25kg bag of rice costs me about $40, but buying 25kgs of rice in individual kilo bags at the supermarket costs $3.50 per kilogram for the cheap stuff, or $7.50 for the premium stuff ($88 or $188 respectively for 25kg worth)

You can’t fertilize crops with electricity, nor can you eat it

It’s easy to go overboard and make silly choices, but it’s also easy to plan a good contingency. I keep 1 year of dried food and 3 months of canned / jarred / frozen food. Any more than that and it gets wasteful for me. I have backup grid-independent solar power, and I also keep a small veggie garden going most of the year.

I like to re-pack my dried foods into emptied, washed, and dried PET bottles, because they store better. I use 1L Waterford’s bottles because their shape is perfect for maximizing storage and stack ability. I repack large bags of dried food into these with oxygen absorbers, and packed this way, rice, lentils, wheat berries, and barley will last 20 years. Rolled oats will last a couple years. Sugar and salt will last indefinitely. Scaling them down to 1L individual volumes means you can crack one without introducing contaminants to the others

Keeping a rigid system of labelling, inspecting and rotating your goods is as important as having them in the firstvplace

You bought land, right? Right!?

Buying dry food is probably better than canned. It’s lighter, stores for longer, and is much more compact.

The struggle is over. The crocodile has locked it’s mighty jaws around the defenceless prey. Silently, she slips her ancient body down beneath the inky water once more, dragging the mango to it’s doom.
