  • Heading to our Alaskan Costco to fill up our long term food pantry! This was the biggest grocery haul I've ever done. Alaska can be sketchy so we are doing a bit of food storage prepping. Hope you find the Costco haul interesting. :)

    I've been buying a years worth of toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, laundry detergent, etc for the last 16 years. I was definitely glad I've done that when Covid happened. I was able to share with those I love.

      I started stocking up 2nd half of Jan 2020. In early Feb, near my deceased husband's birthday and our anniversary, I could hear his voice say, as clear as day, to make up boxes of preps for our two sons and their partners. The oldest one thought I was bat shit crazy and refused to take them. Weeks later, his partner came for a visit and said my son was getting a bit stroppy because he could not find what he wanted at the supermarket ( as the great shelf emptying had begun) His partner said that he if he had taken what I offered that would have meant that I was right. I agreed and then I told her if she took the stuff he could still save face. I told her to back up her car to my garage and load it up what I had packed for them. 6 large tubs.
      The second son came to me when he could not find canned tomatoes, pasta or sugar at the store. I told him that as I didn't know what he and his partner liked to eat, to sort through what was there and to take what he wanted and leave the rest. I told him I would grab what he was looking for if I was out shopping.
      Now things are getting short again here. (Australia) and we have planted a veggie garden. Still have full fridges and full food pantry.

    I couponed for quite awhile before covid started was so glad I did. Your mom taking the kids while you shop is just great! Shopping without kids is such a more peaceful experience.

      I used to coupon so much I could have been on one of those extreme couponer shows but my X husband worked at a recycle center so I was able to get all the coupons I wanted and I would take them to the store in the next town over and the guy would let me order cases of stuff knowing that I would come back the next week and only pay tax my girls are 40 and 45 and they still have friends who still talk about my grocery store in the basement but if anybody needed anything all they had to do was come and take it was more of a game to me than anything else 2 see how much I could get free.

    Don't feel like you have to explain why you buy extra food, supplies, preps, whatever. You do you! When hard times come, and they will, you'll be ahead of a lot of people. I've kept a 2 year supply of toilet paper well before covid hit. I never had to worry about the TP rush of 2020. I also keep a 1 year supply of food and basic hygiene supplies. You should consider storing hard white wheat berries and get a wonder mill or wonder mill jr. to make your own flour. Anyway, hope all is well with you and you are able to store all you need for the coming collapse.

You can buy a 50 pound bag of rice at Sam's club for 23 bucks. Then you store it in mylar bags with oxygen observer in 5 galon food grade buckets.

    Ok, I just have to ask,, where are the baby's socks and or shoes? Lol When my kids were little, every single time we went anywhere, I would have to almost redress my youngest every time we got out of the truck. EVERY TIME! Lol One day, we were going to church and I am so thankful that I was paying attention because as I was putting her in her car seat, I noticed that she had removed her underwear!!! She said they bothered her! Lol But you know how little ones are at church, they roll around in the pew. I don't know what I would've done had I not noticed!! Lol From that day forward, I always kept a pair of socks and undies in the truck for her, just in case. Lol

    We go to Costco twice a month. We stock up real good, sometimes like extreme couponers. We have 2 closets half a garage and a walk in pantry we get stocked up, due to the pandemic we have alot of elderly people in our community here in Vegas that are either unable to get to the store all the time or is to scared to go into the public so we would stock up of dry foods, personal care bs, and almond milk cereals, rice etc and go around with a list of items we bought extra and ask them if they need to purchase anything so they don't have to leave their homes and sale them the items so it's like a lil personal shopper type of bs. My kids wanted to help during the pandemic/ quarantine. We usually also recieve coupons for diapers and formula and there's a women a couple of houses down that has triplets and her husband is stationed 6 months out of the yr in different states so anything helps for her. You know if ppl help out ea other not saying we have to help out everyone but if we just try to help ppl whom are unable to help themselves because of this bs pandemic it would be a better world if you ask me....

    My boyfriend and I save a lot of money shopping at Costco for just the two of us. Recently we were both sick at the same time and had to buy some things from the local shops and were shocked at the prices! We use a lot of fresh-to-frozen food and we also buy meat and freeze portions until needed. Costco has so many healthy options that store well, and one of my favorite things is the pre-packaged cooked rice to make easy meals quickly so we are less tempted to eat out. We don't have an extra freezer, unfortunately, or I would probably stock up more. I do make good use of the space we have, though, for things like when meat is on sale. We do have a large pantry, so whenever possible I try to get dry goods.
