"Those families will be fortunate who, in the last days, have an adequate supply of food because of their foresight and ability to produce their own." (Ezra Taft Benson)
I say keep working on building those skills. Things will continue to go higher in price and things will continue to get worse.
We had a huge snow storm hit.
I am ready for winter to be over with for sure.
By the time you read this in two weeks, I hope all the snow is gone.
I was able to get four of these dishcloths made out of the cotton yarn I got for .99 from Salvation Army. And I still have some of it left so that makes each less than .25.
We must all try even harder to be more thrifty than ever.

We are still struggling with meds and health insurance costs. I do not see this improving.
So be actively working on building your storage.
Now is not the time to let up on this. I think we must keep being actively engaged. I feel that things will continue to worsen.

https://www.thirtyhandmadedays.com/1-year-food-storage-challenge/ - this will help give a list of foods for storage.
Watch for sales.
Get your core staples - things you can use to make many other things.
Try to learn to plant a garden, even if you can only plant in pots.

We should not wait to build skills. It is harder to learn when you are going through the hard times.
Try to think if your hard time comes tomorrow - will you be ready to feed and care for your family? When you want to go "shopping for fun".....ask yourself that very question.
We need to stretch everything.
Be working on those skills!
Missy says please put food in your storage!
Tippy Longstockings says beef up your skills.
