    Preparations Update

    Amazon had several brands on sale last week cheap. I didn't get any. I'm concerned about using up what I already have before it goes bad.

    What Shortages are You Seeing?

    If it's something I use, and it hits rock bottom price, I get as much as I can get as I think I can use up before it goes bad.

    What would you do faced with 50% inflation?

    I periodically post some good hardware deals. For a while I was posting tons of deals on livestock and poultry supplies, but nobody was buying them, so I gave up.

    HOLY MOLY guys! Amazon had these kind of sales ALL the time before the pandemic, then they pretty much stopped, until now! Example in pic, click here: Daily Deals: January 24, 2023 - Deal Busters I've noticed that very recently the grocery deals have been getting better, that gives me some hope!

    What Shortages are You Seeing?

    No kidding! Today I discovered that sometime since September, dry green split peas went WAY up in price. 16oz Goya brand went from $1.39 to $1.99 at Target 16oz Great Value brand went from $1.00 to $1.48 at Walmart. I posted a mighty good deal for them if anyone wants to stock up...

    What Shortages are You Seeing?

    I'm seeing so many complaints on social media about shortages of cold & flu meds, pics of empty shelves, they're talking about it in the news. Does nobody ever consider Amazon? That's where I get all mine. Here are deals I found just in the last 4 days! I didn't buy any myself, I'm so well...

    No bad weather where I'm located. I didn't know about it until I saw it in the news the next morning.

    Preparations Update

    My S&S order has been shipped. This is my best deal. I keep saying I have to stop buying dog and cat food, but I keep getting it so cheap I can't resist. I have an absolutely insane amount of cat and dog food accumulating. I'm going to start mixing it with the chicken food. Otherwise it will be...

    Preparations Update

    Good heavens! That's old news! As soon as I found out a few months ago there was an eminent shortage, I stocked up a bunch. Sure enough, in less than a month the price started skyrocketing, and now it's twice what I paid for it!

    What would you do faced with 50% inflation?

    People asked several times about me posting deals on a website, since so many don't use Facebook. Well, I have one: https://dealbustersblog.wordpress.com A few important notes: • The format on the deals posts will keep changing. Sometimes they will look weird. Be patient. I'm experimenting •...

    Preparations Update

    I took advantage of the crazy sales Amazon had last month, sales like they used to have before covid - they're probably getting rid of last year's stock before the new crops come in. This is most of my subscribe order that got here yesterday (views from 2 angles). Mostly food, but also a bunch...

    What would you do faced with 50% inflation?

    Hey everyone, check the potato prices in your local store today and see if they've gone way up in the last few days. In a group on Facebook that's not mine, people were posting prices, so I started a topic in my own group and people checked their stores online prices, and almost everyone is...

    What would you do faced with 50% inflation?

    Most American coffee companies buy the beans from South/Central America and process them here. The situation this year: Brazil, which produces almost half of all the coffee in the world, lost 1/3 of their crop due to a combination of frost damage and drought. Colombia had too much rain, so their...

    This is nuts! Yesterday Amazon had some various Frito-Lay chips in the snack bags on sale, so when I did the price comparisons for the deal posts, the 18 count packs at Walmart was $9.88. Today they are $10.98.

    Dole and Del Monte canned fruit, 14.5oz to 20oz cans. Walmart has been raising prices 10¢ to 20¢ at a time for several months. They are now almost a full $1 a can more than they were back in the spring. Amazon ha been having fewer and fewer deals on them, while I've been trying to stock up. Plus...

    What Shortages are You Seeing?

    I'm hearing more and more about a shortage on all kinds of OTC meds. I've seen lots of photos of the pharmacy sections of stores almost empty. I'm happy I got stocked while the stuff was available! I feel for people with important prescriptions. Those are nearly impossible to stock up ahead.
