And those are words of wisdom: reminding me it's time to double check our food storage. I always do before winter comes, but you're right...if super markets can't get supplies or the prices go even higher, we need to be prepared.

Plus, these days they do not have big warehouses with big storage but rely on regular shipping to keep their stores supplied. Between shipping disruptions, farm labour shortages and driver shortages we could all quickly be without food.

I hate food waste, my mum always used all the food, and reused anything left over. We need to go back to basics, use all the food purchased, as the household waste figures are really high. If everyone tried a bit harder, there would be plenty of food, and the overall cost of your shopping would level out. PS, I can't stand cabbage these days.
