When hasn't there been starvation in Africa and atrocities against women in India? I doubt a pandemic had much to do with it.

Oh but it did make things much worse.Originally Posted by JaneV2.0
Do you think that droughts don't worsen starvation because there is always starvation? Of course circumstances affect these things.
I think the effect of droughts is much more dire than the effect of brief lockdowns or masks. And of course the effect of mass pandemic deaths even more so.
Broke down and got eggs which came down 50 cents a dozen. Found items for two of the four recipes I want to try.
I aim to go two weeks before going back - though possibly with a stop in between to a local cheese shop I have been wanting to check out - or a local winery. Both have lifted their mask mandates now.
Masks are now optional for the staff at my local MB. Probably about 70% choose to wear them.
It is. I wouldn't mind so much, but the selection of goods and quality of them keeps getting less and less. The stuff they sell has always been cheap crap, but it's getting crappier. I don't get much there. There's a few things I pick up there, but it's less and less each time.
Naming your business by it’s price is generally a bad plan, at least long term. Inflation will inevitably force you to increase what you charge. When was the last time anyone paid $6 at a Motel 6?
Just finished up the big stock of canned soup (Progresso and such) I had since March 2020. I had kept adding to it, but I just ate the last cans. Have to go get more. I love soup. Probably will order from Amazon so I don’t have to lug heavy stuff.
In the winter we make perpetual soups, and we keep the leftover portions frozen out in the garage... in 2 sealed plastic containers. One soup series is based on roast beef, with the congealed fat skimmed off each time it is brought into the house. The other series is based on chicken, with the bones (even the smallest bones) pulled out whenever it is re-heated. There is an endless variety of vegetables and legumes/whole grains added to these soups. They just keep getting better and better. Once we are into frost-free days, our soup series will have to pause until next winter.
Haven't been shopping in about two weeks, so this was a little bit of stock up and hitting sales. Not too bad as bill was about $76. Potatoes on sale - two -5lbs red potatoes for $3, so now I need to find some good potato recipes. Shocking things was that butter was up to $3.50 a pound ON SALE!!!! (I didn't get any. lol)
