Don't dread the prep thing but don't put your faith in it either. I keep enough food in my house to feed my family and a few others for over 6 months to a year at all times.

People used to farm/garden and can/store enough of those items until the next harvest season . We have forgotten this because of the convenience of the modern grocery store . Everyone should keep at least 3 months worth of food in their house for emergencies .

By keeping such a large pantry of staples and a freezer full of meat I do not have to shop weekly and this allows me to only shop the sales and this saves me enough grocery money to be able to help others and donate a bunch of stuff to the local church food bank. Keeping 6months to a years supply of food on hand is not hoarding it's how everyone used to live and it saves you a lot of $ in the long run.
