I'll be stocking up on the low sodium (No salt added) canned veggies 
before they go any higher...  Water costs for gardening eat me alive so 
it's not economically feasible to make it more than just a hobby. :-(

I'll  be studying more of the Texas native edible plants. Zeroscape 
items that don't need to be babied/watered.

I'll also stock up on ammo so I can hunt my own meat...

Squirrel is tasty in season and I have a hunting license. Same for 
fi****ng wild fi****es. Deer are also plentiful and I have somewhere I can 
hunt without having to pay a $1,000.00 hunting lease!


Might even learn to like Prairie dog. <eg>
