Too right, Namelus! DH and I topped up on medical supplies we used when I caught some bug in January. AND we’ve been gulping down fresh fruit/veggies to build our systems back up again……in time for this next onslaught! So other than filling in a bit here and there…..several weeks ago….we’re out of the stores.
These new folks who are “stocking up” are hurricane/blizzard shoppers. They are not preppers in the same sense that we are. We’re not ‘rainy day’ preppers….it’s a lifestyle. And we’re all horrified to have something come along that actually might use a LOT of our supply. None of us NEEDS to see a great big event happen to justify our stored supplies. An occasional power outage, time of unemployment, or hurricane/flood/blizzard will justify our little habit just fine. We’re all hoping this is NOT THE BIG ONE.
But if it is….we’ll do what we’ve planned to do and mind our own business. And hope others don’t even notice us. If we haven’t been blabbing….they probably won’t.
OldMtWoman ….nothin’ to see here folks, move along…
