Are you acquainted with John Pugsley’s Alpha Strategy of mini warehousing?
It is available as a free .pdf and was a best seller during the later Carter Era, based on your blog post it would be a good time to head to Sam’s and buy a 25 pd bag of sugar..maybe 2 depending on how much sugar a household uses.
Buy 50 pound bags of rice at Costco for $17.00
I buy sugar at Sam’s in 50 lb. bags as a matter of routine, since I do alot of jelly and jam making. After the prices settled after the spike a couple of years ago, I bought 150 lbs. to keep as a part of my cache of food, and I use the FIFO method for use. Sugar is much cheaper when purchased in bulk and it does not go bad.
