Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Empty shelves at the market tonight.

The only thing that has been spotty over the last three months has been breakfast sausage from the major brands. The local meat packer's supply remains in good shape.

The reason Walmart is "short truck drivers" is that the Walmart DC's are notorious (as are most other grocery DC's) for treating truckers like cattle and don't respect their time during deliveries. Waits of many hours are not uncommon. When you can gross $1,000-1,500 a day driving a truck, are you going to take a Walmart load and take a chance they make you sit for five hours?

We grow ours, garden, raise beef, chickens and a couple hogs a year. Got two ponds with fish, deer thick AF, small game too. We grind our own flour from wheat, oats. Meal from corn. All bought in big quantities from the Mormons every once in a while. Can get them off the shelf at a Mennonite grocery local if needed. Got us a jersey heifer this year, gotta get her bred and we are in the good stuff. Only stuff we buy in the store food wise is stuff we can only get there and like to have. We can cure and smoke meat, pickle stuff, make our own vinegar, dry meat, fruits, and veggies, got two freezers plumb full. If all that fails, we got the river ten minutes away, and three big lakes within an hour. Not to mention several spring fed ponds full of fish scattered around. We ain’t worried about hunger here. Nor being cold. Most neighbors are similar, if not quite as serious about it as we are. Lots of beef, most have chickens and a garden. A few raise pork as well. All hunt and shoot. Bad place for thieves and such to act out. Was just telling the wife tonight, seems like everyone around us either works, farms, or is retired from a job and still farming. Stores close, we will all pull together and we’ll get by.

Instead of Hoover Hogs, we'll have Biden Bologna.

Happy Days are Here Again

Someday, soon you will probably be lucky to get "store brands" and you will be hungry and enjoy them..... fuggin snob

What is really really funny is that 90% of "Store Brands" are the EXACT SAME PRODUCT as the "Name Brand".

Wife orders bulk from Walmart for pickup all the time... OFTEN they are short on the "12 can ordered" and will substitute the "Name Brand"... IDENTICAL CAN... IDENTICAL LOCATION... IDENTICAL TASTE.

Fools believe if they pay more, it must be better.... a fool and his money will soon part
