What I couldn't get this week shopping

When I was able to garden I had no problem finding heirloom seeds and even now they are in my seed catalogs. I still get the catalogs even though I am not able to plant like I used to. Walmart and Kroger have "heirloom" tomato plants in their garden sections.

Heirloom seeds are still available, at least in some countries, but what percentage of food available to the public is tainted in one or more ways, from adulteration to chemicals and so on ?

The importance of preserving our seeds is quickly becoming urgent! Chemical companies are continuing to adulterate our seed supply through genetically modification tactics. Below is a list of companies that continue to sell heirloom seeds.

There are other threads on the forum about Monsanto. You'll likely get little argument from most people about that company's negative effects.

There are some 30,000 pending lawsuits against Bayer/Monsanto/Roundup. Further hurting Bayer, on June 21, 2022 the Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear an appeal Bayer brought forward in hopes of dismissing thousands of liability cases. All is not yet said and done when it comes to Monsanto and Roundup.
 

Winco Foods had no organic tofu. I also noted all the Fancy Feast cans were cleared out. I probably have a good 60 cans. I think people are panic buying pet food here and there.

I'm going to the farmers market today.
 
I couldn't get corn cakes (they're like rice cakes but made with puffed corn) at Job Lots. The clerk there said they haven't had them in stock for quite some time. I saw these (screen shot below) at the local grocery. There was no price on the shelf to indicate how much they were. I was shocked when it rang up over $5 (that's over £4 in British Sterling). I told the clerk I wasn't going to pay that for a 5 oz. bag of puffed corn, so she took it off the bill.

I made my every other week trip to Aldi today. I usually buy just staple items I need - bread, milk, etc. I did notice
the store brand butter was $3.46 for a lb. They had 8 oz. of Kerry brand Irish butter for $3.45. I buy lactose free
milk - $3.19. OJ was $2.75 for a half gallon. Eggs were $2.21 a dozen. The only item I could not get was canned tuna.
 
I bought a 10 lb bag of russet potatoes for $2.99 yesterday. Gorgeous mangoes @69¢, nectarines 79¢/lb, and yellow onions - surprise, surprise - were beautiful and 39¢/pound. Bell peppers were 99¢/lb, both the red and green varieties, The produce gods mush have heard my complaints about the onions. I bought several extra to chop, ziplock bag and freeze.

I was able to get everything on my list, but noticed prices continuing to march steadily upward.
 
Today they had Pantene shampoos & conditioners but not the clear one without many additives, including scent. No empty space, it was like they’re not carrying that one anymore.

After a week without butter, years ago, just because we had run out and not picked up any more,
a lightbulb went on over my lounge chair as I was changing the world on the internet,

'we have coconut oil', "try coconut oil" and see if it works.....

tada - wonderful, to put on toasts, vegetables, potatoes, to cook with, and more.

So you're saying this is due to seed prices, and that Bill Gates is somehow involved in controlling seed prices and availability?

Please provide links to your sources.

I can see how people who have enough money might push their own agenda, and how that might affect those who differ unfairly.
 
My Aldi was out of non-dairy fruit popsicles yesterday. Fortunately, my daughter planned a trip to her Aldi a couple of hours later and was headed to my house late afternoon anyway. Her Aldi had the popsicles so she grabbed them for me, saving me a trip to Trader Joe's to get fruit pop dessert last night.
 
I got 24 cans of Fancy Feast, chicken and liver at Walmart. They had 24+ more but I'm not over buying. I noticed WINCO is still about out of canned cat food. I don't know if it's a delivery issue or what.

WINCO Foods had baker potatoes again. Taco Bell refried beans up to $1.75 a can. I need to go to Trader Joe's. Last time I was there, the beans were $.99 a can. They may have gone up by now though.

Do you like those 3 flavor pops @ TJ's? Strawberry, lemon raspberry I think. Those are really good.
