Thanks, Ruthanne!@Aunt Marg Thanks, and a Happy Sunday and Memorial Day to you also!
Sounds like you've done your job well on being stocked. I, too, have enough of rice, pastas and lentils. I don't buy sugar or white flour because of diabetes.
Good for you on being well-stocked!
Indeed it is.Our pantry is fuller than it has ever been and my wife is very leery of overstocking, but this is a new era …..
Extra toilet paper is a good thing!Using up what we managed to buy earlier and only buying what we run out of what we use up-like his milk. I dislike milk. But we do have extra TP, lol.
Good to hear that Peppermint, I know you've been anxious to get back.We are going home this week, Sassy....So we are just eating whatever there is in fridge...We have a neighbor that lives alone
we will give him some of the freezer stuff...Son is coming for us....He said NJ is better now....But I will stay in my backyard
and house for a while.....
Oh, having plenty of coffee is critical in our household.I have plenty of all the essential things we need especially coffee for my husband. My pantry is loaded with soups and cereals and alot of other canned products. Of course TP.wipes,masks,gloves etc.

Oh YES, having enough coffee is utterly essential! 🐿Oh, having plenty of coffee is critical in our household.
It's good to have all the essentials..makes me feel somewhat secure! Oh yes, we need those treats, too! I like to have them on hand, too....Good luck with home delivery should you decide to do it..I've been happy with the services but of course, like everything, they are not perfect..but close enough for me.I have all of the essentials to last a solid three weeks.
I keep some cash on hand and try not to let the gas tank go below the top quarter of the tank.
For me, the most notable items in my little stockpile are non-essential treats.
When I went out almost daily I was much better at keeping treats out of the house. I figured that I could run out and buy them tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.
This has been a good experiment for me to learn how to limit my shopping to once a week.
I need to take it to the next level and begin to experiment with home delivery.
For me, for example, if I had to store TP in my living spaces other than the hall closet, I would be hoarding. Or if my shed was full of TP and I had to move stuff out of it to fit the TP in, hoarding. I think, in light of the recent shortages, a three month supply would be reasonable.So where is the line between "stocking up" and "hoarding"? Asking for a friend. LOL!
I'm not sure but maybe when you have enough for 5 extra people for 5 years...Just a wild guess there!So where is the line between "stocking up" and "hoarding"? Asking for a friend. LOL!
that would have been my ex M-I-L... there was only her and her husband, but you could literally have taken a platoon there any day of the week and she would've had enough to feed them...I'm not sure but maybe when you have enough for 5 extra people for 5 years...Just a wild guess there!
