Shocking? No, not really. I just saw a double pack of Coleman 16 oz propane cylinders which several years ago sold for $5.79 at Wallyworld and most recently was just under $7 – priced at $9.88. Nuts.
I recently had to reorder some supplies for the Tier 1 Minuteman IFAK and yup, prices have jumped. I have to adjust the price north of $40 and figured I’d throw it out there for the next couple of weeks I’ll keep the price at $36.99 here(I sell it elsewhere as well). I’ve got to look at everything and make sure I adjust prices based on these recent increases. I’ve always shipped free – and as of April 1st shipping has increased. No matter what I continue to work to keep prices as low as possible and the value high.
Several “survival tins” have been added to the store. I love the concept. Right now these small, compact tins consist of Fire Starting Kits, Waterproof Matches, Eyeglass Repair & Care, Emergency First Aid, Prepper’s Pharmacy, Emergency Coffee Survival Kit – and more coming. Many of these I’ve set up with an optional 2 pack for a much better price due to combined shipping. The idea behind these little kits is that they are very small and portable and contain items many fail to have around when they need them. The “Prepper’s Mini-Pharmacy” is the size of an Altoids tin and contains aspirin, ibuprofen, anti-diarrheal, antihistamine(Benadryl), antacid, and cold medicine. It will be added to the store shortly.
We are all in this together. What is “this”? Well, that’s a good question.
Take care all.

I have had to stay home and quadruple up on errands when I must go out. My family and I are already sacrificing . I am deeply concerned about those with young children. WE no longer eat out at all.
Some prices are jumping by 4 dollars an item. People are getting very angry and depressed in stores. Just as with covid we are all going to have to reinvent our ways of living to cut back and make do with what we have.
WE are getting some snow tonight but then hopefully spring will be here . Arlene
The grocery store is out of saltine crackers .Barley is $4.89 for a 1 lb 14 oz package.
Arlene, I see the same thing happening. I haven’t bought seed for the garden yet, but last year at the local feed and seed, they were having a heck of a time getting stocked. Personally, I think we are in for a bit of a rough road ahead. For the last two years, deer have decimated my garden. I’m installing a new 10 ft high fence around my 1/4 acre garden. Any deer getting in now will go to the freezer. Of course all of the above points to my thoughts about where we are heading. I think our food supply will be in danger. I fell the democrats will use any excuse, or manufacture any crisis to gain more control of this county. Pandemic, exploding inflation, shrinking products at the grocery store, gasoline priced out of the reach of most people. Just think about it.
