Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I just asked my gf (I live with her) if she was interested in buying food in bulk like this, and after saying that she didn't want it to go to waste, said "I'm just not worried about the end of the world"
Note: I am currently having to potty train her vote not going to Obama.
Tell her that the whole world doesn't need to end for her to be concerned. The local area only needs to run low on food for about 3 days before things start going sideways.

start small... but baby the corn is on sale.. an extra can will not hurt... remember that big snow last year where we watched movies all day? remember how you wanted (product x) we can grab one now so it will be there when you need it. slowly ease her into the mindsetOriginally Posted by KestrelBike
FACT. just in time ordering has made this truth
You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.
My feedback add 11-12 ish before the great servpocaylpse of 2012
I can translate for you.
The thought of circumstances where I can not readily obtain food makes me feel uncomfortable.
Do you think having a bit of food around is a good idea?
If so get on with your bad self.
If she has any glib comments look her right in the eye and tell her "I want to make sure i have food and i want to make sure you have food"
Yes it would be nice if she was on board.
If shes hungry she will eat the food and will be glad you put it away.

LOOOONG term food storage can be difficult to concern people with. but using rational "hey we should have a week, or a month's, worth of food in case of natural disasters, etc, especially when it only costs around $100, is a pretty good idea" statements are hard to refute.
My wife spends a lot of time cooking us meals for the week. In addition to having a ton of dirty dishes, we also have a ton of dirty tupperwear afterward, and a fridge packed with said meals all week. I want us to learn how to pressure can, so if she is going to spend all day cooking, it might as well be shelf storable food. Making extra shouldn't be a big deal. So now, in addition to having delicious lunch that I don't have to worry about *refridgerating while at work, we could build up a stock of food we'd actually eat as well.
Of course my wife is 100% on board for prepping and stocking up stuff, so I have it a little easier.
*I've gotten so sick of trying to share fridge space at work, that I haven't used the fridge for about a year now. I let my lunch sit on my desk all day, no matter what it is. I'm just going to nuke it before I eat it anyway. So far it hasn't made me sick, or even killed me.

My wife does jars. That may be easier.
