 Food Prices Will Climb Further-How to fight back

Most people do not realize this, but a massive change in money and finance is underway, and at this point, is unstoppable. 

Russia invaded Ukraine, and the outcome was sanctions that shut off Russia from doing business in dollars.  The Obama/Biden Administration was out to kill Russia financially, and it appears they have killed the dollar instead.  Russia is demanding rubles for its energy, and that means less dollars needed.  Other countries are shedding the dollar to do business with Russia, namely China and India.  Those dollars are going to come home, and when you have a lot of something flooding, in the price goes down.  In this case, the buying power of the dollar is going to continue to go down. 

Don’t expect anything to go back to the way or the price it was.  Count on prices going higher, and I mean much higher…As noted by this major bank and others:

Banks, traders and economists have been watching the economy — along with just about anybody with a paycheck — trying to anticipate if and when a recession might hit the U.S.

Deutsche Bank has warned that the Federal Reserve’s measures to fight inflation in the U.S. will spark a recession that will likely begin late next year

SIDEBAR:

 

Alpha Strategy entailed three levels…[this is something the Poor Man addressed earlier]

1. Invest in production. If it’s something you need to make a living — education, a skill set, tools — this takes priority over anything else.
2. Save consumables. This is the stuff you use on a day-to-day basis — razor blades, pasta, tires — if you use it up and it has a decent shelf life, it falls under Level 2.
3. Save real money. If after Level 2 you still have savings left, then you can put it into precious metals and other tangible assets.

 

Food: “Foods are the No. 1 consumption item for most of us,” Pugsley wrote, “but because of their perishable nature, they must be carefully selected.” So forget about meat and produce. Even with a freezer, “the storage cost is high relative to other goods.” Consider instead…

Canned goods: Shelf life varies, but figure on using them up within 18 months. Even a one-year supply will insulate you against rising prices

Sugars: The shelf life of sugar is just on this side of forever. “Jams, jellies and other preserves will last indefinitely, as will most fruits that are packed in sugar syrups.” Honey and molasses will keep for years; even if they harden, just heat and stir

Grains and legumes: Wheat, rice, peas and beans will all last for 10 years or longer. Beware: If you grind the wheat into flour, that shelf life turns into mere months

Tea: A “near perfect” savings asset, Pugsley said. Bulk buying gives you significant savings, and tea takes up little space and suffers little if any loss of quality over time

Pasta: It can keep for five years or longer.

The Alpha Strategy is a means to protect purchasing power, and is not intended to be a means to defend against social collapse.”

Although under present circumstances in 2022, it can’t hurt!

Mr. Pugsley posted a free PDF file of The Alpha Strategy on his website. And while his site is long gone, fans dutifully reposted the PDF. Here’s a link.

Ex-Leftist Tells All

Michael Rectenwald, formerly a professor at New York University, spent his life as a leftist — a self-described Marxist, in fact.

When on Twitter he began to turn against the tactics and behavior we see routinely on the left, particularly on college campuses with their win-by-intimidation tactics, you know what happened: his leftist colleagues took it as an opportunity to examine that behavior carefully and open a dialogue with people of different views.

Just kidding.

You know that’s not what happened. That’s never what happens.

Instead, they completely isolated him on campus. Out of one hundred colleagues, perhaps two would say hello to him. People would not even get in the elevator with him.

They exiled him to the Russian department — where, he told me, people were told he was a bad person who was not to be spoken to.

But would he necessarily abandon leftism, just because of bad treatment by leftists? After all, even under the Soviet Union there were plenty of cases of communists condemned to death by the Party who nevertheless continued to believe. “The Party is always right,” they said.

Rectenwald is different.

An old pioneer method for making flour was to use a hand-cranked flour mill to grind wheat grains into flour. That works. But a flour mill can turn lots of things into flour, from beans or rice to acorns and amaranth seeds.

And you don’t need a flour mill to do it. A food processor can convert a lot of things into dust, from corn flakes to chickpeas. That’s essentially what defines any flour—something pulverized to dust.

You can add your new flour varieties to any white flour to stretch your current flour supply. If you have some bread flour on hand, that’s all the better, and you can stretch your (high-gluten) bread flour over more recipes by combining it with other homemade flours. We’ll cover some gluten-free flours as well, along with the recipes that go with them...

 The USDA's Food Price Outlook 2022. It is the USDA's Consumer Price Index for food, which measures inflation. According to this article on USA Today, the USDA's Food Price Outlook 2022 "is up 7.9% from February 2021, the largest increase since May 1981."

The article also stated, "In total, food prices at grocery stores and supermarkets are expected to increase 3%-4% this year after already seeing a 6.8% jump from January 2021. Restaurant purchases are also 8.6% higher than in February 2021 and are expected to jump by 5.5%-6.5%.

94% of Americans Plan to Drop This Expense in 2022

Americans say they plan to build savings and cut these expenses.

Poultry and eggs

Saving on poultry can be as easy as using less in recipes and substituting other meats that might be less expensive. Here are 10 Ways to Save on Meat and Poultry. You might also want to stock the freezer with chicken. See Frugally Freezing Meats: Protect Your Savings from Freezer Burn

Eggs are a different story. We don't often see too many coupons for eggs, and they are necessary for a lot of baking even if you stop eating them for breakfast as prices increase. It might make sense to buy powdered eggs to keep on hand for baking. Or try this trick for freezing eggs and stock up.
