(OP) User ID: 80162208 United States 04/13/2021 02:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I highly recommend everyone to plant a nice garden this year. Right now I have two 12 foot raised beds of peas growing very nicely, 2 beds of mostly broccoli and some cauliflower, and two beds of overwintered greens with some transplanted lettuce. Also a bed of perennial Japanese bunching onions and garlic. My summer plants are sitting outside getting some sun. Most of them are in 3.5 inch plastic pots. Quoting: Doctor Congo I have a zucchini and a summer squash growing in big pots so I can have them early this year. I will have 12 feet of green and wax pole beans later, along with 24 feet of pole dry beans. 12 feet of fresh pole beans is enough for two people for a year. ^^ This! Ad some perennial broccoli and yard long asparagus beans..the beans produce a massive of crop, great for canning and freezing Never heard of perennial broccoli, investigating it now. Thanks! Asparagus bean from my fave seed company: [link to www.superseeds.com (secure)] Asparagus bean is a good alternative to real beans, it is another genus completely and isn't bothered by the usual bean pests. Tastes like a cross between beans and asparagus. I grow Monte Gusto and Fortex pole beans from Pinetree Seeds company at superseeds.com |

I like sauteed onions, garlic, peppers & sausage slices and add that to my black beans and rice. It isn't much more and takes it up several notches. Look to cajun cuisine for some low price inspiration. |

The monthly consumer price index, released Tuesday morning by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showed a 0.6 percent increase in March, the largest one-month increase in nearly a decade. Over the past year, prices have increased 2.6 percent overall." One example is bacon is up more than a dollar a pound in some major cities. Supply problems are causing most of the increases and those problems are not going away thanks to Biden and liberal state governors. And it is going to get worse. This is a very good year for everyone to start growing a garden. They are been destroying the dollar. Commie Joe is responsible. |

User ID: 66794842 United States 04/13/2021 03:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In the Bay Area, prices have been going up since last year, and generally shot up in the last month. First time I have just spent over $200 on groceries for one week/for 2 and it doesn't look like I have any food! We don't buy much meat either. Stores are running out of bread products and other items frequently. I have to have my groceries delivered and that adds to the expense. |

I shop all across the seed vendors world and if I remember correctly the perennial broccoli is called Nine Star and another perennial type is called Turkish Rocket. I also remember paying a good chunk for seeds but I save the seeds, so thats that. My favorite vegetable Malabar spinach, it's more common though. Good luck with the garden! |

Gonna head back to CR shortly ... food is sanely priced down there. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77676288 120? wtf do you eat? rice? ours is 400.00. 110 US a week food bill here, family of two with dogs. Eat well. Spreadsheets and sales, man. Shop around. The grocery stores are colluding in ways where if you do all of your shopping in one place (regardless of which one place) you're going to be bearing the heaviest brunt of inflation. And inflation on certain items will be in some ways offset through clever, algorithmically derived pricing strategies. Bottom line, people who always shop at store X on Thursday night and that's just how they do it will be unevenly impacted by inflation. People who already have a shopping strategy that includes shopping the right stores and sales at the right times, and buying in bulk, are going to experience inflation a lot less significantly, at least in the short term. Snark Edit: Here a 3KG box of minute rice costs like 7$ on sale, maybe a bit more now. $120 is like 51KGs of rice (only it's more than that since USD is like $1.25 for every $1.00 CAD).

What used to be about a $250 grocery list is now about $325....same things, same amount. I've asked my relatives in the south and they say they haven't felt the same punch in the gut. Maybe it's regional right now??? Quoting: Michael Gordon Peterson Liberal States with unnecessary extended lockdowns. |

User ID: 77936235 United States 04/13/2021 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Dollar Tree here has good seeds. Not a ton in a pack but enough for a family of 3. I always look for bulk lots of 1 year old seeds on eBay. I collect seeds though. To me a full seed box is security. I love to get the prize winning varieties. The older packs might not 100% germinate, but usually I get 90% out of even 2-3 year old seeds. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74667243 United States 04/13/2021 04:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The weekly grocery bill has been going up steadily for 4 years straight with the only difference being that now the smaller packaging sizes that they have been using to charge the same price that are now finally catching up with this inflation shake down using economic warfare to solve that pesky social security insolvency issue and medicare entitlements Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80241661 Yeah best example wife and me noted on the smaller packaging - and it took a while before we noticed - was on organic potatoe. It used to be $4.99 for five pound bag at Tops. Then eight months or so ago we were making mashed potatoes and realized the 'same' bag didn't yield as much mashed potatoe. Pulled out a bag (which still costed $4.99) and were surprised to see it was now four pounds, not five. Then a couple months later, when I was purchasing a bunch of bags of yellow organic spuds, I noticed how lightweight the first bag was I picked up. I looked and was amazed to see THREE pounds. Price ? $4.99. So in six months time or so, organic potatoes have gone up 40% in price. Or taken another way: 40% less potatoes for the same price. |
