We have all experienced the pressure of rising food prices due to inflation. My wife and I, being on fixed incomes, must manage our budget wherever possible. Those who are younger and raising families face particularly significant challenges in making ends meet.

Living in the small town of Condon, Oregon, we have limited shopping options. While we try to support local businesses, we often buy essential items at lower prices when we visit larger cities in Oregon.

I learned long ago the value of purchasing in bulk whenever feasible, which has proven beneficial during times of inflation or unexpected events such as job loss that hinder my ability to work and support my family.

In line with our mission, we aim to assist you in discovering strategies to reduce your food expenses. We will provide tried-and-true recipes that were utilized during the Great Depression and World War II. While we cannot predict what lies ahead in this land of abundance, we are aware that the prices of essential items are quite high.
