We garden and can our food. Never know from one season to the next when something will or won’t produce, so always put up extra if it’s there to do. Other stuff we buy in bulk to save money, sometimes splitting up cases of stuff with other couples or families. Grew up around grand parents who survived the Great Depression and prospered afterwards. They believed that another depression could and would likely happen again. Times have changed and they have passed, but I always felt there was a value in what they taught me. I’ve been between jobs, barely able to keep gas in my truck to look for work and wondering if I was gonna make the payment on the truck on time or gonna pay a late fee, again. I had food though. Didn’t have to go out and get an EBT and spend time trying to get something for free instead of finding work. Having a few provisions for yourself is just taking a little responsibility for yourself, IMO.

Spring fishing is here , plus still have some deer meat our 1/2 pork will be done this week , plants are started for the garden , pantry shelves are half full or so
