As they've pointed out, your product dollars may go further if you put money in the hat instead of purchasing on your own. In other words, when buying 50 boxes of carrots we can get a lower price per pound than if you buy 5 pounds of carrots.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831465491190114255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671799083688158070.post-54838882942327019322012-06-07T06:34:40.050-07:002012-06-07T06:34:40.050-07:00Thanks Karin for the great article. Main Supply is...Thanks Karin for the great article. Main Supply is coming along really great this year. I think that it is important to note that, if coordinated well, money put in magic hat goes much farther than at the local grocery store or Wal-Mart. In... particular, main supply can get fresh produce at 1/4-1/5 of grocery store prices. Most other things at least half off the best public prices. In other words $10 in the hat is like $20 to $50 at the grocery store. If you think you've got a really great deal available on any supplies, check with main supply to see if a local low price source has been found yet. We have some really great food sources at our disposal this year. Food runs, especially early in seed camp, will be done at least every other day. Individual kitchens are highly encouraged to contact main supply to help source Anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671799083688158070.post-868536451973869302012-06-05T23:03:37.158-07:002012-06-05T23:03:37.158-07:00I bring lots 'o food to Gathering.

I try not to be a burden on the phamily in fact I try to be very helpful.<br />.<br />I urge everyone to arrive self-sufficient. What kind of idiot goes into the woods with out enough to even feed themselves?<br />...<br />When I first discovered the Gathering I was a penniless hitch-hiker, but by god I had brought enough food to at least feed myself. <br />...<br />and bring lots to give away at Gathering. Thats the way it works - young and poor: needy. older, more established: giving.. goes full circle<br />...<br />do you know who picks up hitch-hikers? people who themselves had hitch-hiked when they were younger<br />...<br />sharing economy happens after major disasters, after money economies break down, and every summer in some National Forest <br />...<br />pack it in. pack it out. leave no trace.<br />...<br />peace, outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
