  • Once a year our family stocks the pantry, freezers, cleaning closets, office supplies, laundry room and personal care items. Did I mention I really hate shopping and just want to get it over with. We are currently a family of ten; my brother, uncle and a few cousins are staying at our home with us during this Covid Pandemic. We supplement with fresh produce and a few items here and there through the year, and really stay on budget because we don't go out to eat very often. We raise chickens for eggs, have an orchard, garden, blueberries, elderberries, nut trees and a stocked rainbow trout fish pond. We are adding walnut trees, grape vines, two persimmon trees, and boysenberry bushes next spring.

    As a single mother my sister would stock up every year when she received her tax return. It helped them to be set all year for basics. Always seems like a lot of money but it actually saved her money. She got food, toiletries, school supplies and OTC medications. She didn't blow the money TV's and such. Throughout the year she had extra money for her and the girls to do fun things and get extra goodies because she stocked up. Always admired her for taking such good care of her and the girls.

      This year I used my tax return to pay my rent for the year, my consumer cellular phone line and internet and HSLDA membership. Other than that, none of my other bills can be paid in advance. I hate owing money (borrower is slave to the lender after all) but thankfully, those are minimal :)

      And, it takes a lot less energy, that having to stock up one's self! I'm nolonger a 'spring chicken' and found the process of shopping and organzing the haul to be more than a tad exhausting! So glad to have prepared well enough that I nolonger have to worry about it, and there is sufficient to feed my daugher and family, plus myself and pets for close to four years if we ration properly.

    I grew up in Northern Ireland during the times known as “The Troubles “ and because we never knew when shops were going to be bombed or we couldn’t get into town because of barricades etc I started stocking up whenever possible. Fast forward to today and we immigrated to Canada but I still have the mind set to stock up the pantry as much as possible. It gives me a feeling of security that I can feed myself and my family. It is my dream to have a pantry like yours one day. Much love to you and your family ❤️

We do not have bargains in my area like she finds. Those are great prices. I am learning a lot from her. I may have to up my budget because meats have increased since COVID-19. Beef prices sometimes as much as 2.00 per pound. Bacon has increased over 3.00 per package.

    I have a family of 5, we heavy stock 2x a year.
    It save so much money! We were able to pay off our “big debt” in a little over a year, 14 months! We use taxes and then save a certain amount of money every check to do stock #2. My children hate the end of our stock pile, it’s clean out time! We eat random stuff for about 2 wks, but I want a bare shelf before stocking back up again!
    If you are able to hit clearances and use coupons, that’s a huge score in my book! We also make sure whatever food we eat all the animals can eat too! Zero food wasted! Food is just to expensive to throw away!
    Great job!

    Well, I guess Shelby had the last laugh about all those people in her comments who slated her for doing her yearly stockups with comments like 'omg, like, why? I just go to the shop when I need to buy things! Why you buy so many things?! You so silly, lol'. Shelbys thinking - 'How's that quarantine lockdown working out for you with no food in the house?'
    I feel like all those preppers people have been calling crazy for stocking up 'just in case the worst happens' have had the last laugh, lol.

      I used to be able to have everything stocked up by the first snowfall as let me tell you when you have 2 feet or more of snow on the ground you don't want to be hauling toilet paper into the house. I'm disable now by arthritis and walk with a cane, so my son helps me a lot. I got caught with less than a package of toilet paper in the house. I couldn't believe it because that is something I never run out of! But I am trying as the budget allows to stock up when I can. Just wish I still could use my big 23 cu. ft. freezer. All I have now is the side by side fridge/freezer. But slowly working on things and getting ideas for what is important.

Then covid hit and he lost his job right away. He shops in my extra provisions now and told me "Mom you were crazy like a fox. Thank you so much for all you are doing for my family." Makes me so happy I can help him and his family.
