As a rule, stores bring in new stock every couple of days (or stagger the shipments so they're getting stock of SOMETHING in every day). Marshal law rule dictates that a store (or a fuel company, or a service) cannot charge extraordinarily high prices for scanty supplies in case of emergency. But it's MY responsibility to be properly supplied for an emergency, not the Store's responsibility.<BR/><BR/>Whimsical: Thanks. We're pretty well stocked, but DH had asked for Jambalaya, which I needed sausage & chicken for. We do have a bit of stocked pork & beef in the freezer, though.<BR/><BR/>Connie: yeah, it is scary. And somewhat Ironic. I'm not sure I can see storing a year's supply of food in my house (certainly not with the lack of space we've got), but I can see the sense in having a couple of weeks or even month's worth of canned & dried foods (and certainly frozen, this time of year), so hopefully hard times are not TOO hard. I don't think it'd hurt anybody to be sure that they've got 2 weeks worth of food-stuffs stocked away in their pantries. It's just a matter of orginization & effort, primarily.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments!Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312698112377656801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10061220.post-1165513249418165742006-12-07T09:40:00.000-08:002006-12-07T09:40:00.000-08:00Scary, isn't it?

Not that I advocate stocking shelves like many did for Y2K ... but I do like to have a lot on my shelves so I don't have to run to the store every week. We could live for several months, I believe, on what we have now. Not the variety we would like, but still ..........<BR/><BR/>Anyway, if the world gets worse, this could be happening all over the place.<BR/><BR/>BlessingsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10061220.post-1165457595606054282006-12-06T18:13:00.000-08:002006-12-06T18:13:00.000-08:00Wow!
