Hey guys! I'm back. :)
Recently I've been thinking about the "second wave" of covid18+1 (or "election infection" as it has been fittingly dubbed) that is going to happen upon us this fall. Like the unpredictability of a meteorologist's weather report...this is an amost certainty.
I don't know about you, but I feel like I could have done a better job last time. When #toiletpapershortage2020 happened, I only had one roll in the house, was almost out of laundry soap, had a week's worth of food on-hand, and was 100% not prepared (though...suffice it to say I had plenty of supplements for the just in case). This time...things are going to be different. Over the summer I've slowly been adding to my "second wave" supply. Every time I go to the store I get "just one more" of something I'm going to need this fall. (Who would have thought you would ever need to plan for a plandemic?)
My goal is to have everything our family needs should the economy shut down or slow down so we're, simply put....less affected.
Here's a short list of what I stocked up on, how I'm preparing, and where I purchased:
