Once a year our family stocks the pantry, freezers, cleaning closets, office supplies, laundry room and personal care items. Did I mention I really hate shopping and just want to get it over with. We are currently a family of ten; my brother, uncle and a few cousins are staying at our home with us during this Covid Pandemic. We supplement with fresh produce and a few items here and there through the year, and really stay on budget because we don't go out to eat very often. We raise chickens for eggs, have an orchard, garden, blueberries, elderberries, nut trees and a stocked rainbow trout fish pond. We are adding walnut trees, grape vines, two persimmon trees, and boysenberry bushes next spring.
