7 Pantry Staples I Always Have on Hand - Tips for Stocking Your Pantry

When the world seems unstable, it's time to take stock of your food supply, that way no matter what's going on, you know you can always feed your family a good quality meal. Here are my best tips on stocking up your pantry.

Tip #1 - Only store what you are going to eat. It can be tempting to buy a bulk container of food when it's a great deal at the store, but if your family will never eat it, then you've actually wasted money and not gotten ahead.

Tip #2 - Always stay ahead of your consumption. Plan for extra on the shelf. When you grocery shop for the week, toss a couple extra of something in your cart to start stocking your shelves.

Tip #3 - Consider storage first. Know how you're going to store what you buy BEFORE you buy it. For more info, check out this bulk buying tips video: https://youtu.be/m5M_XUgWu2I (or visit the blog post here: https://homesteadingfamily.com/building-up-your-long-term-food-storage-supply/)
