Today we address an issue: How to quickly develop a deep pantry vs panic prepping. Day after day as the rumors of food shortages abound, I see lists distributed by people who do not appear to have prepped a day in their lives. Usually wheat, beans and rice are heavily featured. Instead of panic buying these items, consider taking an afternoon to develop your deep pantry plan. You will be much happier with the end results if you do.
