Stocking Up 101
Written by Kate Petersen on June 28, 2008 – 7:00 am -With all the (ahem) cheerful news this spring about prices going up and stocks of available food going down, more and more people are paying attention to stocking up for lean times. I see this as a wise move. It could even be considered an investment: If you pay $2.00 for a loaf of bread today to put into your freezer, and a month from now when you take it out that same loaf costs $2.50, you’ve essentially saved 50 cents. Think how much more valuable that loaf of bread would be if a month or a year from now there was no bread to be had in the local stores. At all.
So what should you store? How much is “enough?”
