Preparing for Empty Shelves and Increased Expenses


Recommended Posts

Posted

in all seriousness, people who depend upon over-the-counter drugs, like acid reducers to prevent their ulcers or gad, should probably load up on those things that may be supply chain issues.

And I’m not sure anyone wants to get through Cedar pollen season without all of their decongestions and antihistamines.   And in addition to TP and paper towels and tissues, I guess we should make sure that we have several months of washing detergent for dishes and clothes.

Is a bourbon collection considered prepping?  If so, them I'm good to go!

Might want to be cautious and load up just a tad more.

My end of the world compound is in Tennessee about 30 minutes from Kentucky so Bourbon and moonshine are in deep supply.

Once we get to the barter phase of things, reach out if you want to trade for some OF "models".

Meh, you are going to be is great supply when the rest of the world is not buying it. But then again, you always can get antiseptic.

Or keep the OF models in the right mood while you are out hunting zombies. But in your part of the world that is just a code word for methheads right?

Tennessee has been post-apocalyptic for quite some time.

Tell me you don't follow commercial real estate development trends without telling me you don't follow commercial real estate development.

I just meant dental health-wise.

Fair point. Meth is a helluva drug.

It's fun to count the meth/murder shacks while cruising through Cooke county. That and the mobile homes with meth blast craters in the sides of them.

Interesting you mention this. What is going on with the price of Advil and generic ibuprofen?

Those are not products that I buy. Marijuana and aged single malt scotch are for pain relief.

This.  I took so much Ibuprofen in my early 30s.  Rode my bike 15 miles, dose up. Framers didn't show up and i had to move 300 sheets of OSB solo, dos advils.

Wtf.

Now I pretty much only take when it's something major like surgery, and a small dose actually works.

I shop at the Rundberg HEB. The only thing they ever run out of are snack food, sugary drinks, and masa.

Can you still get cows head for Barbacoa there? This bougie Lakeway Heb is all aged prime everything and Wagyu.

I don't always want to feed people luxury food.  I want old school cheap cuts i need to marinate and prep properly.

Adjacent question where is a good Mexican Market these days?  Like La Michocana on congress back in the stone ages.

That makes sense.  Thanks for that.

I never take it, but had to buy some on the suggestion of my daughter’s pediatrician due to chest pains I was experiencing for something I don’t know how to spell related to two of my girls having pneumonia. I think condritus? Anyway, two Advils took that pain away.

Moved my squirrel .410 next to the door, bought a big bag of dog food, checked the propane tank levels, went for a jog on my land with the dogs. Can't beat the zombies if you can't outrun them.

I chose this one because I remember watching the movie and this was one of  the best rules for a zombie invasion. xD

They also make terrible fucking coffee. Be an adult and make a real coffee.


 

Somehow the coffee at my work is worse than even the cheapest coffee pods. Not even sure how often they clean that industrial size brewer and 2 gallon holder. It’s awful and a mixture of old and the coffee and condensation dripping back into it all day. They sprung for a machine that makes lattes and mochas in addition to coffee and all the ingredients are powdered.  It was somehow even worse making plain coffee. There’s a stashed Keurig over by where my office is and I use it so I at least know what I’m drinking. I agree about the plastic waste, but I’m pretty sure the break room coffee is actually toxic directly.
