And still, we only depleted 1/4 of it. You see I was the grocery fairy for my kids and grandkids during that time also. By the time, I moved up here, I donated almost a quarter a 12x12 roomed prepper's pantry to a local food pantry. All my home canned stuff came with me. It makes up my qt, 1/2 pint, and 1/4 pint jars inventory.<br /><br />may be able to get there homesteading with marginal store purchases. I'm pretty much on the way. Mel just started having to but paper goods since May and we depleted a goodly amount of food stuff with our week without electricity, but it's a start.Cockeyed Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107151148843311635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100504692070771380.post-45399922904780493932019-10-07T00:09:14.975-04:002019-10-07T00:09:14.975-04:00Wow, that regular perpper's pantry is fantasti...Wow, that regular perpper's pantry is fantastic! Guess I'm not regular enough, lol. Actually, mine is nowhere near that either, for the same reasons you point out - because Mother Nature is not often kind with her punches. I like your term "self-sustaining preppers." That describes us too. It's a good description of the homesteading lifestyle. Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.com
