IMPORTANT WEB PAGE -- USDA PREDICTION OF FOOD PRICING

So I am REPOSTING this from my Ginger Gargoyle Gems blogger page ... at the end I kick around the idea of doing a series on canning. While I have done some videos waaaaaaaay back in 2012 on my You Tube channel -- since then I have switched it over to crafting, so you will have to do a lot of scanning back -- and see how horrid I was. I started as a Hot Water Bath Canner in the late 80's, shortly after getting married and having our first child, and waited until 2012 until I began Pressure Canning ... with a huge 20 year gap between them - I had switched to freezing as my main source for preserving my food - but with everything that's going on, I'm thinking there will be a LOT of people who are going to be eithr canning things they shouldn't ooooorrrrr canning things the way they did in the 20s - 50s I've already heard of stories of problems with canning in Canada what do you think??? Leave me a comment and let me know. here is a copy of that original post, by the way ... Here is the link to the USDA's webpage where they discuss how much THEY say food prices are going to go up ... they, of course, don't have a foot into reality and we all know that they will be way unde%r the actual price of things ... https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-price-outlook/summary-findings/#:~:text=Beef%20and%20veal%20prices%20increased%201.1%20percent%20from%20February%20to, strong%20domestic%20and%20international%20demand I have been watching the sale flayers for our local store ... Cub Foods ... and they have had their steaks jump from $7/lb to $10/lb ... I'm sorry but that is almost 150% of what it cost a month ago!!! I'm wondering if someone added a decimal point some place It is reminding me a lot of the 70's when the elderly were eating cat/dog food because it was cheaper than hamburger - and we're talking the really CHEAP burger too, not even 73/27, we're talking the 50/50 stuff. I don't know if you've ever had it, but if you were a kid back then you know the joy of having a greased up colon! AND we had 6 boys in my family too -- boy did we put the sewer system to task! then too there will be another run on TOILDET PAPER & PAPER TOWELS, as well as CLEANING SUPPLIES this means, if you are a CANNER you will be having a tough time finding VINEGAR yet again this year -- since so many people have found that it works just as good as alcohol or bleach for cleaning. Canners use it to clean the rims of their jars for ensure a strong seal, to add to the canner water to prevent the "dust" from hard water, to clean jars after canning (cuts the grease like you wouldn't believe), and for making fermentations/pickles. as well as for other recipes ... and cleaning Definately the thing to do is to learn the PROPER method for putting up/away food ... avoid Rebel Canning if you are a Newbie ... seriously, do NOT "can" bread, cake, meatloaf, or creamed soups ... or the like. Maybe I should start doing a series over on my "Oh Crock" blogger page ... what do you think??
