I have exactly the same problem! I eat very little tinned and processed food! I will keep mine well beyond the recommended use by date but will end up tipping stuff if it looks too dodgy ie likely to blow!

If food prices sky rocket I will definitely start eating some of it. Seems stupid not to!

well stockpiled food is for emergencies, and if food prices rocketing does happen, that in my book is most definately an emergency Smile....also a good excuse to go hunting alot lol

It's not even the basic difficulty of food going up in price, the hard pressed will become even more hard pressed and more desperate / dangerous.

One more thing on the ever growing list of events happening to make this a bit of a storm.

Times is getting harder, so we've just finished an inventory check.
Good job too, we found a major tilt coming up.
No tea bags and found 12 cans of VERY old beans.
Almost a disaster.

Quick shopping tip.
Aldi, 1kg rice, 49p. Cooks fast, Good Taste.

And you call yourself a prepper. Some things just can't happen and Brits without Tea is one of those.

On the subject of tined food anybody know what tined food will keep for a long time and what food has the longest use by dates i am going to bury some when i find a suitable location.

The local grain and strawberry crops up here are rotting in the fields and the rape seed crop is squashed flat.

Things are looking pretty bleak at the moment.

Us to, we have used up a fair old bit of our reserves, out of rice, low on flour, out of coffee whitener, down on a few cleaning agents, a bit down on tinned stuff, I reckon i need to spend about £150 to get back to a sensible level again, but at the mo i aint got £150.

Everyone from farmers, markets, traders, speculators and supermarkets are going to shaft us this autumn.

More heavy rain means more rotting crops. Buy as much as you can afford now. Farmers in other countries whose crops are for export, will make a huge profit from other countries that have suffered the deluge. That means that we will be in for a huge rise in this country. If you have land, then grow. Kenneth Eames
