That's a good find. Nice work mate.

"a two-year supply of freeze-dried food that her sister recently gave her as a birthday present"
Damn that's a cool sister, with an even cooler present than my new shoes (but they are lovely shoes).

Yeah, I mean when Ive checked online even with US prices thats like $3000 or so for the food.

Wish my sister could afford to do that for me. Though admittedly Id have to take the sofa and xbox out of the spare room to store it all.

My sister could probably afford that, but she's on the other side of the world and Australia is about to hit a recession, so it's not something I'd want her to do.

I don't think she'd even think about prepping for a SHTF scenario, so it's not something I see her doing. She'd need that money if she was going to survive.
