Homemaking Challenges During War

 

I wrote this before the war in Ukraine began thus my thoughts before it occurred I will share..... As a possible War looms across the pond in (Ukraine). Many countries are there standing by to take orders. I silently pray this does not happen. I silently pray no loss of life occurs. But just like any other war sadly this is to be expected. As troops prepare for the unknowns. 

I prepare my home for the unknowns as well.  Families already struggle to get by with meager pay checks, loss of work, and food/product shortages. I look to see how well our local food pantries are faring with the same shortages. Sadly, not well at all.

Here is a link to my article I wrote on the Great Depression Era Grocery List and Prepper Pantry:

This paints a clearer picture of what I need to do in my home.

1. Look at my pantry
2. Make list of items needed
3. Look for sales strategically
4. Write down economical meals
5. Don't forget seasonings
6. Drink mixtures
7. Seeds to grow your own food & herbs
8. Learn how to make bread by hand
9. Keep a list of ingredient staples if something is on sale pick it up
10. Go to food pantries and church's for help don't be prideful if the family is hurting.
11. Barter with family, friends, and neighbors
12. Make short term goals for amount of food staples I want for our home. Start with several weeks worth to a few months and then 1 year.
