I really don't and I REALLY want one. I've just started getting serious about couponing and stockpiling and I have no idea where I would put things right now. These tips are great!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413516850782368606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193634744398762239.post-52781900272031112752010-01-22T13:57:14.588-05:002010-01-22T13:57:14.588-05:00We buil a room in our garage and installed a windo...We buil a room in our garage and installed a window a/c unit in one wall. It gave us a big pantry (a little smaller than a one car garage; we left the outer door up and just put in inside walls, so it looks the same from the street). The walls are insulated as well. We lived from our pnatry for over 2 years, and we'e doing it again right now, so we know how important it is for us.<br /><br />Here is my pantry:<br /><br />http://theprudenthomemaker.com/awellstockedpantry.aspxThe Prudent Homemakerhttp://www.theprudenthomemaker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193634744398762239.post-61883775461566071272010-01-22T13:56:15.101-05:002010-01-22T13:56:15.101-05:00I have a pantry!

I have this room in my basement that is under the stairs and it has shelves on one wall for my pantry. The room also serves as my storage room for out of season clothes. :) <br /><br />I keep at least a month's worth of stockpile. I try to keep a little more during the winter months just in case we get bad weather and it is difficult to get to the store. :) <br /><br />I would love to store more but hubby doesn't like it when I get 30 boxes of cereal in the pantry. :) So I keep the stock within a compromised range.Sonshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853563088171290394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193634744398762239.post-20198987576476062732010-01-21T21:33:46.499-05:002010-01-21T21:33:46.499-05:00I agree on the car thing.

We carried blankets, candy and garnola bars(hard kind), emergency radio, matches, candles, small can. It all (accept for the blankets) fit in a big metal coffee can. You pulled everything out and it was a make shift stove to melt water.Julie Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551528953012584385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193634744398762239.post-16380760051126263312010-01-21T19:07:27.836-05:002010-01-21T19:07:27.836-05:00WOW! We did the same thing with a small room. Last...WOW! We did the same thing with a small room. Last year tornados came thru at Easter and I realized that we were NOT prepared for ANY emergency. Now I have slowly started to build up my pantry and I've started to keep extra supplies in the van. Water, blankets, snacks, DIAPERS!! etc. I can't control everything but I am a little more prepared.<br />Love your blog!)<br />Kim in Mid. Tenn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
