You are less likely to get hit with a flood than you are a tornado, big wind storm, etc. And if there's a tornado (which I have survived quite a few), you'll be hiding under the stairs anyway because that's the safest place to hide. So, you'll be able to snack while you wait! :)Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945129283751137969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566959441838535672.post-41211783264701629942010-08-25T17:31:35.619-05:002010-08-25T17:31:35.619-05:00Tried-and-true, stress-free method: purchasing a y...Tried-and-true, stress-free method: purchasing a year's supply of #10 cans from the Bishop's Storehouse. (Disclaimer: DH did the buying and we've only 6 months at this point.)<br /><br />Where to Keep: water bottles keep well behind the U-bend of sinks (it's not a lot of space, but it's "free" space because so little else fits back there) and a layer of boxed #10 cans substitute perfectly for a bed frame. (6 months of #10 cans = one queen bed)<br /><br />Disclaimer. I figure that as #10 are good for 15-30 years depending on the item that they're only going to be accessed in an emergency. I also figure that that emergency will have to be severe enough that I'll be happy to have my tin-flavored flour.<br /><br />My goal is to build up my pantry supply of food. The basic strategy right now is to buy 10+ of anything that's a remarkable price and usually buy 2 of whatever I happen to need. The pantry is more tricky because of the limited space and the frequent expiration dates. ("Frequent" being six months to three years.)Janellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11092893864737058248noreply@blogger.com
