Consider Stocking Up On Food

[KLS52]

I always have powdered soy milk on hand for cooking/baking. But I don't like it for drinking/cereal for some reason.

I've been wanting to try that! Do you find its similiar to unsweetened plain soy milk?

I find it completely acceptable. I think the brand is "NOW Foods"; I'll check the website of the store I bought it from. BRB...

EDITED TO ADD: I went to the store's website, and it didn't list the specific brand. I went to NOW Foods' website (which I went to shortly after I first bought some), and it looked familiar. I need to go to this store again within a week; I can double-check the brand if you wish. I DID notice the cost of the powder listed on the manufacturer's website. It's organic, which may be the reason it costs about $11 for a 14-oz. bag (on the manufacturer's website). I haven't figured out how many servings that makes, but I'm pretty sure it's a lot cheaper than (for example) "Silk" brand soymilk (which is also very good, and more easily available in regular supermarkets).

I like the brand Now and it was the one I'd considered. Comparing to Trader Joes 32 oz plain soy beverage, if it is still $2, pretty close in cost.
I did stock up on the shelf stable ones so I guess I'm good. I rarely use other than yogurt and mayo

Stocking up on food is fine in the event of food shortages but I just realized that I bought rice, dried beans and flour which won't help me in the event of a power outage because I won't be able to use the stove/oven. I like the idea of canned vegetables/beans/lentils and soups, although eating soup cold isnt appealing. I have peanut butter and crackers on hand and canned fruit.

yeah, that is a scary thought. You have an attached garage? A propane grill is my best idea. We have one and need a refill. Not an attached garage, but at least could cook or reheat.
I'm hoping to find another Costco big jar of Jif on sale again and get a couple.
What protein powder do you use? My son likes Orgain chocolate, but it has stevia

I don't really use powder. I have an old jar of Orgain Simple vanilla. But I don't like it just mixed with water or milk. It's chalky to me. I love the ripple chocolate and vanilla premixed.

I'll use the powder for baking on occasion.

I didn't realize it was three years ago haha. I'm sure it's expired.
