[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 444736, member: 84"] I think I got that from my grandma who lived through the great depression with 7 kids trying to support them alone. I always have a stock pile of long lasting food stuffs and my freezer as full as it can get. I keep valuable first aide supplies on hand as well, and cheaper every day items that can be used as must have first aide items. I just keep the food rotated so it doesn't expire and is wasted. But I've done it every since I started keeping house to one degree or another. I don't always have enough cash flow to have a large stock pile, but something is always better than nothing in case of emergency. It probably didn't help that the man who I call dad also lived through the depression as a child. His stories scared me even more than my grandma's because he spoke of going days without food. (grandma was located where she could hunt during the worst of it) His breaking chicken bones open to eat the marrow many decades past the depression......and telling us kids we were wasting food when we refused to do the same made a major impact on me. I always thought omg if it was that bad........I always wanted to be prepared as much as possible. [/QUOTE]
