“A prudent person foresees the danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. Proverbs 27:12

Remember having a deep pantry isn’t just about having extra food on hand. It is also about having the means to survive in an emergency situation, having all the extra food isn’t going to do you much good if you can’t cook it when the power is out. If you are having a hard time trying to afford filling a deep pantry read my post on “having a Deep Pantry on a tight budget.”

Don’t forget to share what you were able to do this past week to have a deep pantry/food storage. Let’s encourage each other. And if you have a question feel free to ask or if you have the answer to a question feel free to answer. If you have a tip or idea you can share that also. As I said let’s make this a place where we can share and encourage others to get that deep pantry.

10 Cans of Soup / Petcare

10 cans of soup, get what you and your family likes and will eat. Wal-Mart has soup from 1.00 on up. Also, Kroger runs soups on sale pretty often. You can also can your own.

Pet Care, If you have pets be sure and stock up on food and the things that they will need such as vaccines and flea control items. You can go here to see how to can your own dog food.

How is the heating alternative coming along?

Remember to factor in ventilation with whichever method you use and use a carbon monoxide detector.

How are you coming along on your grab and go binders? Don’t forget to put all your vehicle, ATV, and trailer information in this also (copies of registrations, driver’s licenses, insurance cards, service records ect)

Keep adding to your money stash, every little bit helps and it all adds up.

Add some more water to your water stash, You can even use bleach, laundry soap, fabric softener jugs for non-potable water. You could use these to flush with, wash dishes, or clothes or to clean up with.
