#1 But some of us have lived in or worked D&R in areas hit by other natural disasters, and saw this coming on a grander, longer scale.

Some invested in canned food goods and other 3+ year long term shelf life items. Only suffering fuel and fresh product (eggs, bread milk, bacon) prices.

eg. Spam, at a Dollar General store sold for $2.38 back in 2019, now sells for closer to $3.85.

12 oz Canned Corn was 4 for $1 now 2 (11oz) for $1 if you are lucky.

Canned 1lbs pre-cooked Ham was $2.35 at several stores now $3.98 .

Coffee 48 oz cans $7.95 now 42 oz and $14+
Note: Ollies is selling a private label 48oz $8.98 made by a major coffee brand vendor good to 2025+

Sardines were $.50 now $1 and the new contents look like rejected pieces.

Canned chicken was $1, now $1.50 in a smaller can and more water.

Canned Tuna was 50 cents now $.75 with more water.

Canned Salmon was $2.49 a can, now $4.25 and in a smaller can.

All of these canned goods have/had a BB shelf life of 3+ years

Gas was $2.23 a Gallon (87octane) then $3.97, then midterms rolled around, and it dropped to $2.45+/- and stayed down for the business needed holiday buying season. It is s now pushing over $3 a gallon. But will likely drop 6 months as we go into the National Campaign cycle. A Shelf life with proper treatment and storage is 18+ months.

BTW: The Price of COKE has gotten ridiculous
I am seeing discount sale prices of $13 for a 24 can carton
with BB dates less than 6 months out and a 24 can carton of BUDWEISER selling for $18 just $5 more. Makes me wish I was a beer drinker again.
