TMR Frugal Living Tip #32
I have really missed posting these daily tips. Today's thrifty tip is have a well stocked pantry. This helped me tremendously after Hurricane Gustav barreled through my area. I had close to 10 gallons of drinking water, canned goods, and many other basic staples like flour, sugar, rice, baking supplies, and such. I was able to feed my family well for several days. We did leave after four days since my mom had electricity at her house. Because I was prepared, we didn't have to panic about how we were going to eat since it took several days for grocery stores to reopen. There will always be a natural disaster anywhere you live from snow, earthquakes, hurricanes, or something else. It is always a good idea to have at least 1-2 week supply of food in your pantry.

ITA! This is an absolute must for families. And it's as simple as buying 2 or 3 extra things a week for storage.
Definitely; great idea and I am working on it. It is something we just never know - things can happen to all of us. Thanks for the reminder of the importance of it.
I know what you mean, girl! I live in hurricane territory too so I keep lots of non perishables on hand.
Hi, Where do you live in South Louisiana? We live in hurricane country (and Louisiana) as well. We are in Lafayette. Go, check out my blog. It is: http://jeanielovesthelord.blogspot.com
