Gas prices are skyrocketing around me, and food is slightly more expensive already. I fear I might not be able to afford food later on. What should I be buying now before prices rise even more? (hexbear.net)

I'm thinking of buying a good amount of rice and dried beans. What other non perishable should I keep at hand?

I've heard that as well from an archeologist but I'm kinda doubtful that it would make a significant difference compared to teeth grinding on each other as you chew.

Maybe if it's a mill stone that chips a lot or sandstone.

Neolithic saddle quern

I'd guess something like this is going to produce a lot more stone dust compared to some precision shaped granite.
