Purchasing vacuum cleaner bags is something I have to remind my self about because the type I use are only found at the vacuum/sewing machine store in town. I think I'm running a little low, now that I think about it. I know this is going to sound weird, but do you ever empty the bags and staple them shut to re-use? I can only do this one time, but it works in a pinch.<BR/><BR/>JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-38413660420349412942008-11-02T09:00:00.000-05:002008-11-02T09:00:00.000-05:00I grocery shopped this past Friday...and my husban...I grocery shopped this past Friday...and my husband commented on my deepening pantry...I took the phrase and advice from you...it's been baby steps but now it is noticeable..these are great posts Brenda...and I think I want to have enough to share if need be..<BR/>Deby~~Debyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288057520112643825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-40141421130756726652008-11-02T03:40:00.000-05:002008-11-02T03:40:00.000-05:00I have two chest freezers that no longer work wher...I have two chest freezers that no longer work where I store my bags of wheat berries, rolled oats, salt, and other such supplies. My basement shelfs are full of canned goods and other basics.<BR/><BR/>I really need to clean out my closet and restock the cold and flu meds.

I'll had to admit that this is not something I have done in the past, but you have made me realize the importance of it. I am going to print out all your pantry posts so I can refer to them easily when I need to.Susan P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16123411088490778415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-72513216981441010362008-11-01T11:00:00.000-04:002008-11-01T11:00:00.000-04:00My pantry is going to be deepened again today as I...My pantry is going to be deepened again today as I clear out the canned goods cupboard at my dh's place. Now he believes in being well stocked. I'm feeling fairly overwhelmed by it all. I really appreciated knowing that pasta lasts a year. I suppose that "properly packaged" doesn't mean in the original box. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the ongoing discussion about being prepared. It all helps.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-81770157085151420052008-11-01T10:23:00.000-04:002008-11-01T10:23:00.000-04:00Brenda, I love your blog....I am working on "deepe...Brenda, I love your blog....I am working on "deepening" my pantry", it gets a little challenging as I still have 4 (!) young adults at home...and extra's often for meals...one thing that helps me is, as you shared, keep extras on hand of favorites to make simple meals, and I also make meal plans from the sales.
