Hello all!
I love Fall...It's my favorite time of the year! We are busy with things like , truck repair,
gathering wood for this winter and stocking up on food .Why?? You might ask.Well first, I'd like to make it clear that I'm not a "Survivalist".
I don't hoard food or store it under my bed.What we do here is a winter pantry.This practice has been very useful for us.We start buying a little extra in late summer and add more to our pantry throughout the fall. That way, I'm assured of having plenty when we need it. We had a big snowstorm in 2010 and our small pantry was the best thing I've ever done.We don't have a walk-in pantry. What I have is just a small nook in our kitchen.(I'll post photos soon) I just buy more of what we like and use frequently, just stock up on things when they're on sale. Like, when the soup we love was on sale for 99 cents a can 3 weeks ago, we got 10 for the pantry. if you do this starting in late summer, you'll be ready for winter.(This way the cost is kept quite low) Our pantry is no more than 6 shelves of nook space along two walls. I'll be painting and adding cute kitchen curtains at some point.I've found that stocking a winter pantry is money and time very well spent....Happy Fall :)
