I haven't been stock-piling or even keeping a well stocked pantry since we moved...which was almost a year ago.
I want to get back in to the groove of having extra on hand...b/c running low on something sucks and completely running out of stuff sucks even more! My focus is going to be having a variety of items in small amounts of things we eat and use. I want to be well stocked by the end of August. This gives me about 5 months.
My plan of attack is as follows:
1. First stock up on HBA's
2. Then move into cleaning products
3. Finally work on food items
My plan is to come back to this post & thread and update on what I'm accomplishing.
