I've been doing a version of this for the past year to stay ahead of inflation.

About a month ago, I bought about a years supply of dried pasta to stay ahead of the coming price increases.

This past weekend, I bought 3-cases of 28-oz crushed red tomatoes for pasta and pizza sauce. I've got 30-cans now. Tomatoes have been going up about 30% at the store, but the 28-oz ones had not yet. I got extra diced 28-oz cans as well. Puree as well.

I stocked up on cooking oil last year ahead of the increases. I'm slowly gathering olive oil as well. I keep buying flour and sugar to keep my 1-year supply up to date.

I'm in the process of working down my meat in the freezer that was bought at far lower prices in the pandemic.

I bought a whole bunch of broth and stock, which we use to make soups.

If I had more freezer space, I'd have frozen milk last year, as it has doubled in price since then.

Ice cream is something I wish I could buy ahead on right now, as it has not yet had the increase milk has. I don't eat it, but others here do. The kids still like it when I make chocolate malts for them on weekends.

For me, this is just more about me hating to pay more when I know things will be much more expensive later. I just hate sending money to money heaven. I guess it also gives us food security as well.

I've been running into periodic shortages at stores for almost 2-years now. A lot of it was due to production issues related to Covid absences. It's hard to produce at 100% when 30% of the workforce is out sick.
