[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 544416, member: 84"] Eggs stay good for months and months (without refrigeration) by rubbing vegetable oil onto the shell. Just keep them in a cool dry place (or the frig). The oil protects them. I'll have to check again about canning.......but I believe you can do that too. I'll double check this with easy child as she's really in to doing it more than I am. I eat my eggs too fast most of the time. LOL Terry, that's why I keep prices lists going for various stores. I note such warnings and wait to see how the prices do. Prices are gong to vary according to your location as well. But this drought and the other unusual weather is affecting pretty much everyone, or will in the near future. For those who are already having trouble holding on, it's going to hurt the most of course. Rice prices have gone up quite a bit, at least around here. Peanut butter is just plain ridiculous. I'm watching prices rising steadily. Even many of the awesome sales I used to get........aren't quite as awesome as they used to be (compared to prices a few months ago or last year), and finding freebies with coupons has become skimpy at best. My stores are to the point where I don't actually [B]need[/B] anything. I could avoid stores for months if I wanted or needed to. This gives me elbow room to watch for those really awesome stock up sales (as well as save up the money to pay for it). And trust me, I stock up when they come along. Learning to can, dehydrate, and freeze those foods and how to store them long term helps a ton. I don't have to worry about what I buy gong bad before Travis and I can eat it. And heck, it's a win/win thing anyway. Even IF prices don't go through the roof, I still get awesome deals on the stuff I'm buying......and if a natural disaster hits home, I'm not going to be one of the hordes swarming the stores scrambling for supplies. :) [/QUOTE]
