~~~

First thing I bought several weeks ago was rice. Cheap, lasts long, and goes a fairly long way. With as cheap as it is, I figured it wasn’t a wasted investment if the whole thing blew over without problems.

I thought about flour but to bake bread you typically want to use milk (although not necessary) and a lot of other baking has eggs in the recipe. So I passed on flour for the most part.

Food, particularly cheap grains and such, are not going to disappear unless society collapses completely, and if society collapses completely, you’ll have much bigger problems than lack of food. Self defense comes to mind first and foremost. All bets are off at that point. You may have to be on the move, allying with larger groups, and adapting to fast changing conditions. You wont likely be carrying all your bacon around.

Pasta and rice makes at least some sense. They both store well, and you can use them with a lot of stuff.

When there was first a hint of what was to come, I bought more pasta and sauce than usual. I didn’t wipe out the aisle or anything, but it seems like a good, easy food to have on hand.

“ I’ve seen runs on pasta, rice, and bacon.”

Those things do the opposite of the runs...for me at least.
