Because of inflation and possible food shortages beyond ongoing supply chain issues, fashion is the least of my concerns. I have added and/or changed numerous habits.

Below is a tip unrelated to these uncertain times. I prefer my improvisation over the cheap plastic fruit juicing tools our grocer sells.
Are you stocking up on anything? And on a lighter note, do you miss fashions from any particular era?

We are experiencing fresh food inflation big time. $12 for a kilo of red capsicum. Everything is going up, including petrol. Too late for us now to stock up and avoid price rises. They have happened already.

DeleteI recall attending a party, when I was incredibly thin.
ReplyDeleteI wore a white blouse, pink-and-white pants, and brand-new white tennis shoes.
Pretty sure I had a white sweater looped around my shoulders too.
Fashion is subjective; most of my clothes are 'recycled' ad I shop resale, and I buy the colors and fit that suit me.
Heaven forbid that they make me come back into the office full-time, unless sweatshirts with cats on them are okay.
:D
DeleteWe've been preppers for years. We have enough food and water for a very long time.
ReplyDeleteI dress for comfortable right now. I do get a kick out of the young ones that think their clothes are the first time around when it's been done before. I just smile.
Have a fabulous day and weekend, Darla. Big hug and be well. ♥

DeleteI don't know. I've been able to find what I need in the stores still.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Stay well, my dear.
DeleteWe have a fair amount stocked up too and not just food stuffs.
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteLooks like you are prepared. We always try to have a lot of litter and cat food on hand= and chocolate and coffee. I wouldn't mind if velour jogging suits came back in style- they were comfy. :) XO

DeleteBlue Levis, solid color tee shirts, plaid flannel shirts, etc.
ReplyDeleteI have not changed my style of clothes in fifty years.
However, since my Dad passed away last year, I now have some of his button up, short sleeve shirts, for when the weather warms up for keeps. For work purposes, I may even tuck the tails in.
Just not on Fridays. We observe Casual Friday here in Tennessee.
Stay safe and comfy.
DeleteI try to keep overstocked on cat food but its a little hard to get now. As for human food, peanut butter powder is easy to keep.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, my dear!
DeleteI hate to stock up much with the prices so high unless there is going to be yet another shortage. Prices are horrific and unless the shortages are worser than thay already are, I'll just try to keep several weeks wirth on hand.
ReplyDeleteI like the boot cut pants...jeans as well as the dressier pants. Not real exaggerated in flare..just the boot cut as was on jeans in the 80's...
holy cow...talk about typos! and "worser"? what? Carole!!!
DeleteThe freezer is stocked but the prob with that is, its just the one on the fridge. I don't have an extra one. Had I known I was going to be moving into my moms house, I would have kept the upright freezer she had downstairs. I gave it to my niece since they have gardens and beef. I did not have room for it at my other place.....oh well. Stocking up on other stuff also. Bout over all this crap. Be sure and let those grounds dry all the way before putting them in a container with a lid, they will mold. I tried a compost pile when I first moved here, in a large rubber maid container, yep, that had to go. Such a mess, and draws lots of flies. So I have also limited mine to coffee grounds, tea grounds and peels from fruits. Last yr I had a plant I brought from the other place grow like MAD. It finally hit me why.....when I went to do away with the compost, I dumped it in my flowerbed and mixed it up. My bed loved that....have fun.

DeleteThat's brilliant using the garlic press.
