Replying to @Linda Abbott355 Prepping isn't one-size-fits-all. I don't prep for a specific number of people. I prep for the SPACE I have. 📦✨ The # 1 question I get about my LTS working pantry is always about headcount. I didn't create my pantry this way. You just need to maximize the square footage you actually own and put according to what you think you will use. If you won't use it don't stock it. If it's going to expire before it can be used don't stock it. Go slow so everything doesn't hit the Best Buy date at once. This pantry took 4 years to create to what you see here. It wasn't an overnight job. Use the first out method, it's simple. Understand the difference between an expiration date vs a Best Buy date they aren't the same. Instead of stressing over perfect numbers, I built my short-term storage around my available shelf space. It's working for me and that's all I need to know. Stop waiting for the "perfect" setup or a bigger house. Start with the closet, cabinet, or shelf you have right now!🏠 How about you? What is the biggest space challenge holding you back from starting a working pantry at least if not adding on the long term storage? Let’s brainstorm in the comments friends!💬 You got this!👏🏻🫙 #emergencypreparedness #prepper #pantryorganization #pantrygoals #canningandpreserving
