“But the economy sometimes dictates what you can and cannot do...."

Wise words, so one doesn't get caught up in getting it "perfect".
Something is always better than nothing, and even if one is relatively poor (like me) one should always work at "improving your position", even if it's just baby steps.
A little ammo here, a few canned-goods there, and steady, slow progress gets you in a better position than you were last month.

One quart of peanut butter?

When my three boys were home that amount might last a week.

The list of suggested food items & amounts is way below what a family of four would need to sustain life for a year.

How you feeling these days? Good, we hope.

Merry Christmas, my friend.

What about alcohol? It’s non perishable, its value holds up in good times and bad, barter, sedative and disinfectant, use as a weapon (Molotov cocktail).

Here’s how much food an average family of four would need to last a year.

Those numbers... seem low. Not that I would know.

I don’t know why I’d need quinona when I’ve lasted a long time without it.
