Pantry Preparedness with Leisa Sutton

Send us Fan MailLabor Day is September 7th. That is six weeks from today — and it is historically when the summer pantry building window closes, domestic produce seasons wind down, and fall food prices begin reflecting the structural pressures we have been tracking all month.Today I am giving you the week-by-week action plan: six weeks, five category focuses, specific quantities, specific reasoning, and a realistic budget for each week.

Send us Fan MailConsumer Reports caught a major grocery delivery platform charging some shoppers up to 23% more for identical items from the same store at the same minute. Meanwhile, Walmart is rolling out price tags that can change up to six times a minute to all 4,600 of its US stores by end of 2026. Kroger has them in nearly one in four stores already.Today I'm walking through exactly what is happening, which stores have this technology, what 24 states and the federal government are doing about it — and the specific steps you can take right now to protect your grocery budget.Support the show📚My Books📖Pantry Preparedness: The Best Insurance Money Can Buy!

Send us Fan MailThe USDA released its July crop production report on July 10th. The wheat number is the one I've been watching all season — and on Thursday, it was officially confirmed. Total US wheat production for 2026: 1.536 billion bushels. The lowest since 1970. That is 56 years. Winter wheat — the class that makes your bread flour and all-purpose flour — came in at 990 million bushels. Down 29% from last year. Hard Red Winter wheat, which is specifically the bread wheat grown across Kansas and the Southern Plains, is the smallest crop since 1958. Today I'm breaking down what this means for your pantry — flour, bread, pasta, crackers, cereal, and the downstream effects on feed grain costs — and what the summer window you're in right now means for what to do before the farm-to-retail lag brings these numbers to your grocery shelf.Support the show📚My Books📖Pantry Preparedness: The Best Insurance Money Can Buy!

Send us Fan MailSomething is happening at your grocery store right now that most shoppers are walking right past. Packages are getting smaller. Products are being reformulated. And manufacturers are counting on you not to check the net weight. This week I have covered the big structural forces bearing down on fall grocery prices — the fertilizer crisis (Monday) and the record Fourth of July cookout costs (Wednesday). Today I want to bring it to the shelf level: what is actually changing on your grocery store shelves right now, category by category, and what you can do about it.https://youtu.be/RHDTS-8TRIwSupport the show📚My Books📖Pantry Preparedness: The Best Insurance Money Can Buy!

Send us Fan MailThe American Farm Bureau Federation just released their 2026 Summer Cookout Cost Survey — and this year's Fourth of July cookout hit a record high. Ground beef is now $14.06 for two pounds, the highest ever recorded in the survey. Pork and beans rose 13.8%. Fresh strawberries up 12.4%.But here's what I want you to understand: the cookout numbers are not just a news story. They are a diagnostic. The forces that drove those prices — the cattle herd at a 75-year low, the tariff lag beginning to show up on canned goods, weather-driven produce disruptions — are the same forces that are going to drive your October and November grocery bills. They don't reverse between now and fall. They compound.I'm going to walk you through what the data is actually saying, which specific categories are most at risk, and exactly what to do right now — this July and August — while the summer window is still open.Find all of your supplies and equipment at www.thestackedpantry.comSupport the show📚My Books📖Pantry Preparedness: The Best Insurance Money Can Buy!

Send us Fan MailThe story you're not seeing in the mainstream coverage of the Strait of Hormuz crisis: one-third of the world's fertilizer supply was disrupted at the exact moment of spring planting. The FAO has warned this will reduce crop yields and tighten food supplies in the second half of 2026 and into 2027. That window starts now. I spent time going through the institutional reports — the FAO, the World Economic Forum, agricultural economists at the University of Illinois, and industry data from Yara International — and I want to walk you through what they're actually saying and what it means for your grocery bill this fall. This is not fear-based content. These are real sources, real numbers, and a real action plan for what to do right now, while the summer window is still open. SOURCES:FAO Director-General Qu Dongyu, Ministerial Meeting MED9++, May 2026World Economic Forum, "The Next Food Crisis Is Already in Motion," May 2026Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, "A Closed Strait of Hormuz Risks a Global Food Security Crisis," April 2026farmdoc daily, University of Illinois, "Strait of Hormuz Closure and Fertilizer Supply Risks for U.S. Agriculture," March 2026Yara International Q1 2026 Investor ReportFood Ingredients First, "Strait of Hormuz Fertilizer Crisis — Food Prices," May 2026The Packer, "Are We on the Verge of a Global Food Crisis?"
