President Donald Trump says his 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are coming on Saturday. Trump also said he'll "probably” decide on Thursday night whether to include oil from those countries as part of his import taxes.
I both love and hate comments like this (and say that having made more than a few of them myself). It’s great to see people sharing advice on how to cook better, do more for yourself, do more at home, etc. I really enjoy making my own pickles, baking bread, making home made stock from scraps.
On the other hand, it disgusts me that comments like this are necessary. It’s the twenty first century, humanity has built flying machines, travelled into space and harnessed the power of the atom, and we’re out here sharing basic survival advice with each in the hopes of making it through one more day. Shouldn’t our basic standard of living be better than that of hunter-gatherers by now?
My mom learned this cooking from her mom growing up in the depression. She would not throw out anything and always kept a stacked cellar of very old canned foods she had collected over the years.
I cook this way to connect back to my roots and it makes me happy, it’s what I ate as a kid. That we are in a place where food banks are at all time high demand and this advice is needed is sad.
I need to stock up on popcorn. The next 4 years are going to be amazing.
I can’t, Orville Redenbacher is made in USA
I’m stocking up on rice and beans and survival foods as the next great depression is about to drop. If it doesn’t? I got a decade of camp food.
There are lots of cooking methods that can help save money
You can take a lot of your food wastes and freeze it and then make broth. I save my pan drippings for roux, gravy, and sauces.
I think this spring I’m going to try planting vegetables, my brother is very into his vegetable garden and has good tips.
Also things like a bag of steel cut oats are more nutritious and filling than instant oatmeal.

Absolutely agree with you there.

The steel cut oats also taste better, imo. :)
