What did you cook or eat today (April 2026)?

Thank you. One of those cans will take me a week to go through and Food Lion has the smaller ones but those work out to like $7 if you got a regular size can. Dollar Tree has the single serves and I've been getting these and also paying the tax...View attachment 144190

They charge tax on food in Georgia? Our DT doesn't.

Might be true, but not in this context?

"Stubborn hunyuck throwing food"... maybe, but now you have to look up, "hunyuck". 😂 I'm not one of the extreme doomsday preppers, but I do prep, believing it to be a personal responsibility. Since you're in the African sticks, I can imagine we share a similar sentiment. In fact, you may even have an emergency generator, which I don't (though it's on my checklist). I view it like any other insurance policy, and try to stockpile only what we can rotate through, so there will be no (or minimal) waste.

Remember when some co-conspirators released a bio-weapon via China about 6 years back and governments across the globe banned people from going to work or setting foot in public without wearing a mask? That was a SHTF scenario. Pepperidge Farm remembers that tyranny, and thankfully we had a physical stash of cash, food, and a year's supply of toilet paper and many other things on hand. In fact, we were able to help out many friends/neighbors with shortages they had never dreamed of.

Yes, different rates for different categories. Alcohol is around 12% and food averages 8%, or thereabouts.

Our DT doesnt sell booze.

Our state owns the liquor stores and they tax the crap out of it. Neither Florida nor Ohio tax food, except a dining room tax at restaurants, and I'm not sure who gets that, probably the restaurant.

It's a sin to tax food IMO.

i was probably the only person i know who had a stockpile of TP when the pandemic started. We always have a pile of cash in the safe, and I have a pantry full of shelf stable food and full freezers, but nowhere to the extent you do and my accumulation is for different reasons. I buy sale items, and I never like to run out of stuff. I probably should get some canned items for emergencies, though. The cash thing is my husband's deal.

I'd like to have a generator. badjak I think has a lot of solar. I wish we got enough sun for that here.
