I have hard time keeping more than three months food in pantry without argument from wife.
Get some #10 cans of freeze dried, stash them and forget about them for twenty five years. Your wife is not too far off in her opinion of over stocking most foods because they do go bad, even canned goods.
“I have hard time keeping more than three months food in pantry without argument from wife.”
I had the same problem with hubby - until I told him he could make sure we were prepared with guns and ammo, if I could do the same with food and supplies.
My son’s wife is ragging on him about the amount of meat they have in the freezer we gave them when we moved.
She’s a Southern, city girl who does not seem to understand what a freezer is for, nor why one would even want to keep more than a weeks worth of food around the house.
Huge normalcy bias handicap with her.
He’s taken to hiding some of the stuff he’s bought.
