I am assuming my daughter and fiance would come here. I have an extra months worth on prescription drugs. Our insurance allows us to get our prescription 3 days early so that is what I do. We live near a large water source so I have several water filters. I do have some water stored in the house but not enough. We are also debt free except for our house. We have an emergency fund too. I try to add a little to the pantry every time I go shopping. I did not run out and buy everything at one time. It is my own little store that we eat out of so it is always being rotated.

About prescription meds: I'm on Medicare, and have mail-order thyroid and blood pressure meds; prepper sites recommend you get a year's supply, but no prescription insurance coverage will fill a year's prescription all at once. I will be asking my physician to write a year's order, to fill at a local pharmacy without insurance. Many of America's drugs are manufactured in China, and some have had quality and/or supply chain problems. Of course, thyroid issues can change and dosage along with it.RV Trip USAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945134386368306817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356250882120656457.post-66935982411199238702020-02-11T00:31:20.955-08:002020-02-11T00:31:20.955-08:00😻😻👍👍😻😻👍👍Cathy harrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15521916559995188320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356250882120656457.post-7691473174484362382020-02-10T18:37:58.882-08:002020-02-10T18:37:58.882-08:00Sounds like a good idea.

It's a lot easier and cheaper to take care of my family when I already have what I need on hand. But I could do better, especially at emergency preparedness.

Building a stockpile to s...Great advice, as always. Building a stockpile to serve your family/household for a year is a big job. It takes a long time (unless you are very wealthy and can just go buy a year supply of everything). It took me about 4 years of constant shopping, tweaking, inventorying, preserving, making lists and updating them to get to having 12 months of everything we need, but it feels good to know it's there. What feels better is because our food is mostly ingredients, I know I can stretch what we have to last longer or feed more if necessary. Now it's 'maintenance mode' and I do a big shop once a year to restock, unless something is on a super fantastic special. The only thing we don't have a year supply of is prescription meds - we can only get 3 months ahead, but I make sure we are always ahead with them for my husband.Cath Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982092492622482815noreply@blogger.com
