>>1225798I haven't spent money on food for nearly 6 months now. Though, I cheat since I'm a farmer. I also have all the tools needed for food preservation from meats to vegetables. That's water bath canning, pressure canning, dehydration, freezing, smoking, & brining. In the end, it is still about what food you have and how you use it. You can do a lot with a 50lbs bag of potatoes after all, a sack of beans, and a meat source.
