Pantry Staples List
Rural country living has taught me how to get prepared for life’s unexpected events. We’ve had numerous amounts of natural disasters where we were cut off from grocery stores.
Even leaving our dirt road has not been an option on many occasions.
From state wide flooding, to blizzards, and 75 hour power outages. And a world wide pandemic. The biggest lesson to come from these experiences… is to always be prepared.
I put together this simple list of pantry staples that I like to have on hand for any of these trying times. Or just to have on hand during the midwest winters.
And these items also helps to create budget friendly meals too.
