I went to two different dollar tree stores in the last two days.stocked up on laundry soap,dish soap and glass cleaner.first on didn't have enough glass cleaner.been stocking up on meat's for the freezer.it's all vacuum sealed.i finally bought a food dehydrator.i made chicken jerky.it turned out ok.tried banana chips.that failed.i think that I sliced them to thick.
I started back working on my beans and rice recipes in preparation for long term food shortages. Got some pinto beans soaking right now. Made some venison sausage yesterday to go with them.

Our little local grade school (40 students K thru 8th) had grandmas come in with bushels of apples and made a ton of "ice cream tubs" full of applesauce for the cafeteria freezer to supplement school lunches.
Just have to say that because everyone around here has large families, and large gatherings, ice cream here is typically bought in the plastic tubs with the lids and handles. Those tubs are reused for everything. The flyer said, come help make applesauce and bring your empty ice cream tubs.
The High School two of our grandkids goes to have made arrangement with a local guy for fresh beef for their lunches.

While the topic is food shortages, here is an eye opening video on some of the food problems.

While we're pretty well set with most of our preps, we decided to increase our stock of salt, spices, lamp oil, rice, beans etc. at least a 2 - 3 year supply. Paper products too, even though we have at least a years supply of TP, paper towels, napkins, cleaning supplies etc now.
I'm not having a problem finding these products, but I am having a hard time finding storage containers. I'm looking for 5 - 35 gallon size screw top containers.
I have a building under construction now that I'll store most of this stuff in. Just now finished the floor and will start framing tomorrow.

I saw a story about the vax mandate causing a truck shortage and people need to do Christmas shopping now.

I’ve never had any banana chips turn out well either yet. I just did some fresh picked figs that are fantastic. Just cut in half, no seasoning or anything else aside from washing first.

I like dehydrated pineapple best.
Granny Smith apples are very good dehydrated. Still tart.
My favorite things to dehydrate are tomatoes. Squeeze out the juice, add some type of salt. So yummy.

I dehydrate just about anything. Pineapple rings dipped in melted dark chocolate is really good

Do you dip them in lemon juice or anything to keep them from turning color?

That sounds interesting, I haven’t tried that. Yet!
Brent, I do not. Color doesn't matter to me. I dipped banana chips once, but didnt see much use

Have you done that with yellow tomatoes? We have a plethora of yellows coming in for some reason and they are not my favorite canning tomato....too soft and sweet.
