Preparing for Winter! Foods and Supplies I've Stocked Up On In Case of a Power Outage

[@johncasey5594]

Great start. Little tip, depending on how long you take to get to your peanut butter, store it upside down so when you open it, the oil is at the bottom.

What a great tip, thanks! Going to go turn mine upside down now …

Love the snowman pic! ⛄ Your stockpile for emergencies looks like the perfect amounts / . of foods for your family

[@TheTexMexMom]

We were very proud of our snowman haha 😄 Thank you!!

Our power is always going out. We live in a rural area with lots of trees and they take out the power lines every stiff breeze.

[@TheTexMexMom]

Oh dear, that would be so frustrating! 😩

[@HomesteadHavenCo]

@TheTexMexMom It is! Luckily we have a generator!

[@TheTexMexMom]

@@HomesteadHavenCo that’s smart. We had the electrical installed so that we can easily plug a generator in, but we have yet to buy one ha ha 😆

[@HomesteadHavenCo]

@TheTexMexMom Yes! Being able to plug the gen in makes a huge difference! That's our setup. Helps so much with the well and septic pumps!

No blizzards in Texas??? I remember winter a few years ago, the power grid collasped, everything came to a stand still for weeks...and there was blizzards.

[@TheTexMexMom]

Ha, true, we lost power here that time, that was crazy! I just meant blizzards as in so much snow falling that you can’t see in front of you 🤪 But yes, we’ve had some crazy ice storms and snow here in TX for sure!

The worst outage we had in Lubbock in the last 20 years was 2 days. Thank God for sandwich meat.

[@TheTexMexMom]

2 days feels like a long time when it’s really cold (or really hot!)
