Tamara Huffman is a Virginia Mom who devotes half of her laundry room to storing freeze-dried food. She says whatever she can stock away at today’s prices will help her save money when tomorrow’s prices go up. Plus, she says she gets peace of mind knowing she can keep feeding her family, even if her husband loses his job sometime between now and the year 2036. Until recently, experts say the only reason people stockpiled food was to survive a major disaster.

This winter, Costco stores offered a one-year supply of dehydrated and freeze-dried food that sold out almost instantly!
