US Mormons Preparing...and Rising LDS Canning Center Costs...

A front page story today talked about how the Mormons and being "spurned" by what they have seen in Japan to increase their "survival" preparations.  I hope they do!  Hopefully they can still afford to get together the things they will need for their families...as well as have some to share/barter in times of distress.

I have thought for sometime now...how seemingly artificially the canning centers prices are.  Well...a new price list was passed onto me...and the prices are drastically going up!!   An average increase of 19.71%!  Quick oats went up 61.93%!!  It's going to cost a lot more to stock up on the basics.  Just a taste of how food and other commodities prices can jump up overnight.

  3. Hmmm...perhaps the prices changed again since the article was written. Those prices are for various sized bags and boxes of foodstuffs. Many are 25lb bags...some 50lb.
