I am beginning to take more notice of what is and isn't on the shelves at the store. I intend to buy more of things when I can. I want to get ahead of everyone else by buying more things each week instead of panicking at the last...

The stocking up on things is pretty standard for most in Florida. At least those who are stuck here during hurricane season. Just saying. We prepare in case the wind is too strong to go out in or the flooding is too high. In...

The thing is, I have had some trouble finding out if canned tuna lasts as long or longer than tuna that comes in a pouch.

I've been reading about possible food shortages and probable high food prices in the near future so I'm stocking up a little more than I usually do, depending on what I can afford. Do you stock up on food and other items when you...

In my family both sets of my grandparents always had a garden going. One of mine also had fruit trees. She would make her own fried fruit pies or regular pies, cobblers, etc.

I stockpile. There was a time in my early life on my own where I didn't have food to feed myself or my daughter. We lived on peanut butter, bread, and oranges for about two weeks. It was very scary. Many times I would go hungry...
