1) Did you stock up early before the shut down?
My parents went thru the war in the Netherlands. No special action was needed on my part when CoV hit,
but I did buy some extra flour and lentils.
2) Do you plan to stock up again before fall?
I'll be aware of some availabilities throughout the coming months, and harvest and preserve my garden.
3) What will you do differently if you stock up again?
Tell my children to buy asap things that their children may need this fall and winter, snow suits, footwear, winter clothes, baby food, baby care products. (I had a new grandbaby born today! A safe and happy arrival). Also stock up on business supplies that are imported. Lock down requires technical equipmemt that is newer than an ipad 2. :/ It's not only food that may have distribution problems.
4) Will necessities even be available to stock up again?
Yes, but supplies throughout the coming year may be a bit rocky.
5) What have you learned from this shut down that will help you to navigate another possible shut down in the fall?
It's a good idea to buy directly from the farmer if you can. There is such a thing as a freezer that is too small. I'm in a good situation. My children are less prepared. Can I take in a vulnerable senior?
