I used 1 lb bags of beans, lentils and brown rice for USPS regular box shops. I have 20 unopened boxes i mailed to myself so if there really is a shortage i have them.

Just remember that dried beans actually do have a limited shelf life before they cease to cook up properly. t\That is, old beans stay tough when cooked. Lesson learned the hard way (Pun intended.)
Lentils and split peas, though, have VERY long useful shelf lives.

No exactly the same as shortages, But...I take Hydroxychloroquine and normally pay $90.00 for a 3 month supply. Today the price was $151.00 for the same amount.

The main problem with plant-based proteins is the lack of B12. Two large eggs has about half of your daily requirement, but the B12 is in the yolks so people doing egg whites aren't getting it. If you are an omnivore and have been eating B12 rich meats and dairy products containing B12 for a long time, your liver probably has enough stored to keep you from being deficient for several years. A lot of people who go on plant-based diets end up being B12 deficient, eventually.

When I converted to a mainly vegan diet I started talking D3 and B12 supplements daily. Several years later a blood test discovered my D3 level was high, so I cut back to every other day.

Do you by any chance have the Good Rx app available to use?? Sometimes, though not always, the price with them is cheaper than even insurance. In my area right now, 60 tabs of hydroxychloroquine at 200 mg per tab is costing as low as $6.00 w/membership at Harris Teeter, to a high of $77.51 at Walgreens, with 9 variations in between!! So, for instance, if 60 tabs is a 30 day supply (2 tabs/day), at HT w/membership, a 90 day supply could possible cost less than $20.00!! It's a free app.@barbage wrote:
