Comments on: If food was scarce… http://www.cyber-kitchen.com/wordpress/2012/09/29/if-food-was-scarce/ The new Board for Mimi's Cyber Kitchen Mon, 11 Feb 2013 18:30:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: SherryPA http://www.cyber-kitchen.com/wordpress/2012/09/29/if-food-was-scarce/#comment-803 SherryPA Sat, 13 Oct 2012 20:03:17 +0000 http://www.cyber-kitchen.com/wordpress/2012/09/29/if-food-was-scare/#comment-803 Me too Bobbi Jo!  The other day I spoke to a young father of two little boys who has quite a survival stash going for his family.  He purchased some kind of plastic sealable containers and has wheat, rice, beans, etc. in those and had just ordered somewhere online a pile of canned meats to go along with his dry foods.  Wow!  I guess it does seem to be a good idea the way the economy has tumbled and prices on everything have gone up so much.  Guess I'd best be taking this a little more seriously. That young father was amazing...and an inspiration to me.  We have some canned goods on hand but nothing like he was talking about.  Is anyone else that prepared should anything happen?
