price hike on oil
I don't use cheap cooking oil, but in 2 months time we will see price jump 30-40 % on all cooking oils. Why not buy it now and safe the money ? look at the label , so you don't buy old ones.

We get by with about a pint of olive oil a month. And we keep a backup pint in the pantry. So we are good for a couple of months, maybe 3 if we stretch it. All grocery items seem chancy. Was at a nearby Walmart yesterday and there was practically no fresh meat nor processed meat items. About 100 running feet or more of completely empty refrigerators.
@Heartlander you might consider photographing those conditions and sending copies to your elected officials with the admonition…what are you doing about this?!
I bought eggs the other day. Over $4.00. The week earlier $1.09!!

@Heartlander Logistics problems will last for at least a year , it will add to inflation . Many vegetable producing countries have export ban on oils and there is no way to substitute it with something else . Simple things like soaps, shampoo , etc needs oils. All cheap products using cheap oil will be out of business .

@soar2newhighs yes, eggs are now at risk. As are all poultry products. Watching the recent downward surge of the stock market raises comparisons to the cusp of the great depression.

@soar2newhighs my daughter keeps chickens. She used to give us a couple of dizen eggs each month which was nice, now it’s way more than nice, now it’s extravagant.
