My Very Large Smile

Why do I have one, with all the crazy stuff going on these days??. Well my friends I just stand back in the kitchen look at my stores and all I can do is smile.

While I may not have as much as some of my other friends, We have not done too bad. The timing as been great too. Our tax refurd came in early march, needless to say we started to stock up on the super important stuff...TP we had a large surplus of TP , well before the stock in the stores was gone. 

Another blessing was even with being on SNAP, we did get extra every month. Oh look dear we got extra. First thing we said at the same time was WALMART.  Dry goods, meat stock up we did. At one point our top freezer was full, and so was the chest freezer. 

Its been a blessing to just reach into the pantry and take what we need without running to the market. We have no ketchup, Dad. check the silver rack, I did nothing. Did you check the pantry?? no...look again. We don't buy super bulk amounts, on some stuff, but buy several smaller bottles n jars. Peanut butter is bought in large jars. We eat more peanut butter then any thing. Coffee, creamer, sweetener, sugar free drink mixes, veggies, beans, baked beans. yes sir we stock up. Since we have not had a issue with bread since second week of the lock down, we only keep 4 to 6 loaves in the freezer. We can use a loaf a day.  

Our garden is doing good. Haven't picked anything yet. 

Stay Safe and Cool....Rob

You have true riches. You can't eat gold.

Good on you, Rob! Isn't it just the best feeling to know that no matter what happens, your family will not go hungry? God bless, my friend.

you can't stop picking up extra stuff, the minute you do your behind by several days worth of food.
Big goal is flour before winter when we can bake bread and such when its cooler

You're right Rob, it is a good feeling knowing you can eat while stores are out of stock. The vast majority of people have nothing to fall back on and yet will criticize us for being prepared.
