Hubby stocks a full pantry and emergency water/supplies in our storage shed.

We have emergency go bags we put cans in there. We also use the cabinets

If it is overflowing maybe you need to figure how much you need.

things expire, and freezing and thawing doesnt improve them any. buy things you'd eat anyway, and eat them. stock to the back, eat from the front.

for water i have 5 jugs lined up, i use them for ironing. empty one, buy another.

I have mainly a big suitcase of dried goods and essentials but food management in stores where I live is really not that good at all and some goods are put late on shelves leaving them close to expiry dates. So, it really is a problem having to update each time, I usually stock stuff like powdered milk, lentils, dried beans, salt and the like.

In my storage shed. When I run out in the pantry I go to my storage shed and pull the oldest (cycling the due dates) and restock. Have enough food for 3-4 weeks. Most is dry or canned. Here in Seattle area they are saying stock enough food for 3 weeks in case of an emergency (read earthquake). Don't store in house in case house is destroyed.

well, I really am not into it, but I have one that beat yours! when i had my 1894 home, the man before had y2k concerns, so he hid it all beneath the house. we had like 30 bottles of water, cans of food, including about 30 cans of cat food- odd we never saw a cat. we got most out, but those big jugs of water in a 2.5 ft crawl space was just too much.

I do nothing, but realistically, we have enough rice, flour, sugar, salt, cornmeal, beans, lentils, dried peas, oatmeal, etc, for a couple of weeks.

We would end up eating a LOT of dried peppers as the pantry got low......

We don't keep any,
