Provident Living...

What does that mean? Well according to webster online it means making provision for the future, prudent, frugal, saving. Today I went to the church cannery and canned dry good for food storage. It was fun. We probably would have been there the whole day but they were out of all the staples: wheat , flour, sugar, and milk. So I ventured my provident living skills in new and interesting directions. The items have the freshness packets put in. Keeps most items fresh for 30+ years, so I've got time to figure out how to use some of them.
Are you really being frugal if you buy things you don't ordinarily use? Are you being prudent saying well we can eat it if we have to? I let someone else take my share of the onions! It was so much fun I think I'll make trips to develop more provident living. There goes the whole frugal part of the plan. Apple slices are Yummy!
