Weekly Shopping Report from Joe
We made our usual Friday trip this week.
I'm still getting energy drinks at Dollar Tree, so that was first; only a few mind you, as I don't consume nearly as much caffeine now that I am retired. They seemed pretty busy, with two checkout lines open instead of the usual one.
Aldi was next and last. They had some wet cat food this week, so we grabbed a case (24 cans). Eggs are still marked limit 2. There were a couple of price drops. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.39; eggs: $2.97 (+); whole milk: $3.03; heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.99; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $3.29; sugar: $2.69 (-); flour: $1.79 (-); and 80% lean ground beef: $4.29.
I did check the online price of a 2x4x8 at Home Depot, and it is still $3.85.
A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599.

Tales from the Prepper Pantry
Weekly Shopping Report
Aldi was our only stop this week. They still have not restocked wet cat food, in fact I'm not even sure I saw the individual cups. They did have a normal amount of toilet paper. The chocolate I like was back in stock after being gone last week, but there wasn't much of it. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.39 (the tag was back); eggs: $2.15 (-); whole milk: $2.88; heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.99; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $3.59 (-); sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $4.49.
I did check the online price of a 2x4x8 at Home Depot, and it is still $3.85.
A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599.
Frugality Tip
Halloween is my favorite holiday. We have a big Halloween party every year. I try to pick the theme in advance and then start gathering decorations when Halloween items go on clearance. For Halloween clearance shopping this year (so far) we got $300 retail value of items for less than $100. So hit the stores after the holiday and get more bang for your buck.
Happy savings y'all

Main topic of the Show: Five Oft-Overlooked Preps For The Homesteader
With all the unrest in the economy, looming worldwide war, accelerating technology and the push from the ruling class (for lack of a better term) to keep we peons unhealthy, just in debt enough that we are too scared to go our own way, and obsessed with the “two” options that are the “only” options so that we fight with ourselves instead of see the true enemy, is it any wonder that, more and more, people want to get out of the cities and homestead?
In a disaster a homestead is where you want to be, right? When you homestead, you go all in on Bugging In.
2 is 1
Typical homestead journey: chickens, garden, canning, wood heat, bigger livestock, hobbies like spinning or woodworking or whatnot.
Homesteaders have food covered - sort of. When was the last time you went to the feed store?
Mindset shift: prepare for the most likely problems, not wwIII and you will weather wwIII better than if you “prepare” for it.
FIVE OVERLOOKED PREPS
As a homesteader you are likely more prepared in many ways than preppers in the city with lots of stuff and no skills, but how do we weather things for real? By getting better one day at a time and by eating the frog that we are avoiding so that we dont end up in a situation where we need a skill we could have built and we just didnt because it was distasteful.
Make it a great week!
