Similar going on at my house, but with drought, wildfires and tariffs in mind. That pretty much covers canned goods, paper, tea/coffee, and whatever can't grow for a few years because it needs to be re-planted first.

I am more like my mother when I am facing adversity.
She lived through Indian boarding school and the great depression.
As a result, she only felt secure when our pantry was stocked, and we had more bar soap, on the shelves, than anyone could use between now and the twelfth of never.
Today, I rearranged my closet, and gave away my collection of cardigans and shoes that were still in the boxes.
I made room for at least three years worth of good masks for my family. It feels prudent, to me, to spend savings on an item that will help us stay healthy no matter what. I also bought enough medical supplies for my husband so we can weather possible supply issues.
If we don't need my stash it will be a good thing.
I whispered thank you to my mom while we watched the sunset. We never used all the soap and maybe we won't need all the masks.
Still stormy in these parts.
Take good care, Mastodon friends.
