We have a huge selection of Vitamins.
Like I said before, we have thought of anything and everything we could to store. Now, we'll have to add dog food. :)
My mother lived through the depression and was very frugal in so many ways. We bought dog food since we could afford it, but she always supplemented the dog food with scraps and bacon grease, etc. We lived remote so if we ran out of dog food she would make corn meal mush, and then add an egg or scraps and bacon grease. The dogs loved her homemade dog food.
I stockpile staples and always have; my daughters do the same though they don’t really think another depression or other emergency will happen. They are young and tight on money so they get into their stash when they are short on funds or just don’t want to go grocery shopping. Storing food just makes sense even if you don’t believe bad times are possible, so I don’t understand people that don’t store food. I had a sister-in-law that would literally have to grocery shop every day after work just to make dinner. I wondered if she really didn’t see how foolish that was.
Back again and I’ve only gotten to post 142. We have local farmer friends who raise their own hogs but don’t use any of the fattier parts except what is suitable for bacon. They gladly give us the rest. Hubby salts down pork and renders the rest for lard and has oceans for pie crust frying doughnuts etc. Green beans cooked with salt pork and a pan of hot biscuits makes a wonderful meal. Also use the salt pork in dried beans baked in our wood stove. Clam chowder made from clams we have dug with salt pork scraps is an economical meal and delicious. We furnish all our friends and neighbors with salt pork. This world woud be a much better place if everybody that could would share.
