🛒💸 Grocery shopping right now is rough.
Prices are wild, and if you’re trying to build a pantry while still feeding your family week to week… it’s a double hit.
That’s why I’m big on survival foods that last a long time and actually get used — not just “prepper hype” items.
✅ Best strategy: stock up slowly on foods that give you shelf life + versatility + real value.
🥫 A few long-haul staples worth having:
🍚 rice • 🫘 beans • 🧂 salt • 🍯 honey • 🍝 pasta • ☕ instant coffee • 🥛 powdered milk
📦 Bottom line: don’t try to do it all at once. Build it like a savings account — one smart item at a time.
