[null and void]

The government will still know you are a hoarder. If they can’t confiscate it from your pantry (for the greater good, of course) they will extract the information on where it is from you. Nice family you got there, does your daughter really need ten fingers and toes?

Better plan: buy a few extra cans every time you shop. or make an occasional extra shopping trip. Pay cash.

Don’t place a big order anywhere there are electronic records.

I wonder what caliber hummingbird’s food insurance is?

I don’t have much food, but I’m thinking about getting some insurance.

The govt just LOVES the Sams club, BJs, and Costco. Every purchase is tracked even if cash is paid.

Buy with cash at NON-membership businesses.

There are some freeze dried items I like, just because I don't have to address food preservation issues when I am in the field. Not to mention the fact that they keep if you don't use (open) them. With the shelf life, a little adds up over time, and won't look like a TEOTWAWKI storehouse to some snoop.

Most flag tripping comes from stepping outside established parameters. Establish ordering histories, bank transaction patterns, etc. you can live with, and leave a little extra around the edges.

Then nothing will be out of the ordinary.
