Gas will continue to rise and oil will go to $200 a barrel.  We can't

Florida's Keys or in ANWR, but we won't see that fuel come to the
pumps for ten years, at best.  A Depression can be survived if you
budget and prepared for it!  Prices drop like rock during a
Depression, land, houses, and commodities are dirt cheap, or so they
say.

I go once a week.  Since I don't use milk for a beverage, just cooking,
powdered milk works just fine.  Store bought eggs will keep for two

Milk can be frozen or you could use powdered.  I don't drink milk so
it's not a problem.  You could also look into "delivery" of some of
these items.  Perhaps it would be cheaper to have the "milkman"
