Safeway BF Advertising

The cashing in goes on regardless. Down to the last tin of soup the food chain will compete for our custom and Madonna thinks she's English.
    

"I see and hear a lot of "prepare" ads and articles. And I still meet a lot of people who have no idea about bird flu."

I agree with you Mountainwinds.

I think that Safeway is doing the right thing. I wish all stores would do it to warn people. I talk to people all the time that doesn't have a clue about BF. The more stores that are offering specials the better for all of us. Maybe there will be a price war on preps and the poorest among us will be able to stock up! Just a thought.

Ooops.  the HH is at 10 for TEN dollars, a dollar apiece...

duh...sorry

nawty

Well, I know I keep posting local water prices here, but I just came back from the store and it's gone UP again!!!! I was paying $1.85/3pk then it went to $2.07/3pk and today it was $2.11/3pk! We also have the chance of seeing the opposit happening w/ supply & demand!  Wait till after the movie, next week to see what happens then! I'm thinking it would be better to get a 2nd kiddie pool, but I have no idea where I'd put it!-k

wenmalon: 'My basement is starting to look like a store.'  -- We're actually getting our storage are above the garage properly set up for storing --- getting pull down steps to access area and plywood for flooring ... something we probably should have done years ago ... but my prepping is taking over to the point of little floor space in our basement and Christmas decorations, etc. are getting in my way!!!  They will all go in garage and my preps will be nice and cool in the dark storage are down there!-k

Did another trip for canned goods this morning. Skipped the workout at the gym, and got a good workout lugging everything downstairs. A definite mini-mart going on down there now......would really like some Windex & Soft-scrub....but right now all my money has to go for food if I'm suppose to stock up for a possible 8 months to a year. What has happened to my life??????

Would the water be safe for drinking and cooking?

I still dont see the stored water idea...

When it starts fill your bottles -then recycle the water till your tap runs dry - then only then start to add your chlorine. this way your water is as fresh as possible.   I think overall the water supply will be intermitent - better putting your efforts into a water tank in your loft - this will self fill when supply is available - also water captur and tanks of your down pipes from your roof - fresh rain water. and look for your nearest spring...

Grace,

Two years ago, I bought 2 large black plastic barrels to catch rain water in. I use it to water my garden, even though I have a well and use that water as well. Got to thinking about the water issue the other day. Don't plan to use water from those barrels for drinking anyway, so the other day I filled them up and put some goldfish in each one. That way I don't have to add anything to keep the mosquito larvae from hatching. The goldfish will eat the larvae and fertilize the water for my plants. In a pinch I could still use the water for flushing.
